Libreville


It's beside a prison, the decor is Rasta chic and your food is fixed by a charmer of a long-dredded musician who's been rearing pigs for years. Pork heaven: try the various delicious pork main courses, and don't miss out on the selection of terrines and smoked hams or the excellent wine list. A huge mixed grill is CFA14,000.

There's live music some nights.
