The taxis exist mainly to take Rwandans to their homes farther outside the city).
The most reliable restaurant in Huye is the restaurant at the Hotel Ibis on the main street.
However, much of the Ibis's fare is Belgian instead of Rwandan.
For Rwandan fare, try the Restaurant Macrobiotique, which is located on the same side of the main road as the Hotel Ibis, but closer to the university.
It is popular with students.
For lunch, try the nameless lunch restaurant located across the street from the Ibis and a little to the right (as you face away from Ibis).
It is to the right of the craft store.
For lunch they offer classic Rwandan comfort food: brochettes (goat kabobs), plantains, sweet potatoes, boiled cassava, beans, and rice.
It is excellent.
An excellent place for dinner is the Chinese restaurant located across the street from the market, behind the gas station.
Chinese workers built most of the paved roads in Rwanda, and a few Chinese restaurants survived their departure.
This one serves a variety of chicken, pork, vegetarian, and beef dishes.
The first and probably the best place to get ice cream in Rwanda.
It is run by a local women's cooperative and offers fresh omlettes, sandwiches and milkshakes apart from their frozen specialties.
Located on the mainstreet near the university, it is a favorite spot for local families and students as well as expats.
Opposite Hotel Ibis, you have to pass left to enter stairs which lead you to this 1st floor restaurant.
The buffet is one of the best in town and the place on the balcony outstanding.
Again on the right side of the main street coming from Kigali.
Inside it looks quite shabby, it is dark and nobody could call it cozy.
But it is always stuffed with locals, most of them students or moto-drivers which come here to have lunch.
The buffet is cheap and good, the chapati are amazing!Hotel Foucon has its own nightclub, opend Fridays and Saturdays.
There is a nameless dance club in Huye that is open on Friday and Saturday nights.

The club serves beer and liquor.
CxC Cafe ConneXion
On the main street towards the university, opposite the Anglican Church.
Delicious, freshly roasted, organic local coffee.
Despite it's misleading name - no, there is no internet available, this is the right place to get truly delicious espresso and buy roasted coffee beans to take home.
By far the best hotel in Huye is the Hotel Ibis, which has been a Huye (Butare) landmark since the 1940s.
Run by a Belgian family for several decades, the Ibis is the only hotel in Huye that has a reliable restaurant open every day of the week, as well as hot water and electricity virtually 24/7.
A large patio with outdoor seating is ideal for consumption of Mutzig or Primus (popular beers in Rwanda) or the occasional sorghum beer.
Of course, one popular strategy is to stay at another (cheaper) hotel and eat at the Ibis restaurant, which is open to everyone.
The concierge at the Hotel Ibis is usually an excellent source of information.
