Cameroon

Restaurants in Cameroon

  1. A

    La Terrasse

    Ever popular, the laid-back atmosphere here is accentuated by mellow live music every evening. Dishes are a mix of Cameroonian and continental standards, but choose the draught beer over the bottles, it's a lot cheaper. As we went to press, rumours were that the restaurant was moving to Ave Churchill.

    Snack Time

    This bright place serves up a menu straight from an American diner, with a few Lebanese and Italian dishes thrown in for good measure. The bean burritos are real winners, and the vegetarian pasta a treat for those suffering from a surfeit of meaty Cameroonian stews.

    Globus

    A good watering hole as well as a restaurant, Globus has Cameroonian dishes and a few trusty standards like chicken with rice. The big draw is the location: raised above Nlongkak, it's great for watching the world go by, and catching some gorgeous sunsets.

    Calafatas

    People cross the city to get their pastries from Calafatas, and you should too. Although it's open all day, all the best choices are gone by late morning, leaving little but baguettes.

    La Forêt Dense

    This is a pricey place, with traditional Cameroonian dishes in an upscale setting. If you've ever wondered what crocodile mbongo tastes like, this is the place to find out.

    Le Buffet

    The name gives this place away - there's a long, heated servery where you can help yourself to various stews, chicken, fish and as much rice and plantain as you can eat.

    La Marseillais Plus

    If it weren't for the posters of President Biya, this would be a good approximation of a provincial French café. Good breakfast, sandwiches and snacks.

    Chez Wou

    One of Yaoundé's older Chinese restaurants, this has nice tables set under a wide porch, and a comprehensive menu. The starters are worth picking at.
