The best restaurants Libreville Region

Opened since 2013 after major renovations, this restaurant is one of the references of the whole of Libreville. Charmel, a humble chef, is the very incarnation of generous cuisine, Bistronomy with a capital B. All the products are meticulously chosen and are found in a well-stocked plate. A French and Mediterranean cuisine of quality: perfect for a business meal, in love or to crown a stay in Libreville. From its perched location, you have a beautiful view of the sea. Warm and professional welcome.

Here is a local restaurant where you can enjoy good grilled food in a pleasant setting. It is frequented by Gabonese families, some of whom come to celebrate special occasions. In addition to meat and fish kebabs, the menu includes African specialities and pizzas. The dishes are copious and tasty, the service is careful and in a good mood. On certain evenings, the restaurant is transformed into an atmospheric bar where events such as piano bars and afterwork are organised. Very good house cocktails.

In a wooded setting, with old French posters on the walls, there is a kitchen based on Basque and French dishes (bouillabaisse, Basque cake, wine, etc.) accompanied by a wide selection of wines, accompanied by a mixed clientele. The restaurant belongs to the famous Mr. Béti who owns «Chez Béti» in Nyonié. And, as he has to be in his company, he is very well received. Note a lunch formula (entrance, dish and cheese/dessert) quality and competitive.

Formerly located at the beginning of Montée de Louis, this famous Libreville address has moved a few streets perpendicular to its former site. The setting is much more chic and elegant, with its leafy wooden terrace and small air-conditioned dining room. However, the menu has not aged since the establishment was founded in 1989, and is still predominantly African and Creole. Odika lives up to its reputation: simple and good. The speciality? Chicken à l'odika, but you can just as easily come for anything else. Professional service.

The Beach Club offers a wide range of food and beverage options in a leisure activity area (soccer, paddle, basketball, tennis...). On weekdays, it's relatively quiet, with lunch or dinner served by the beautiful pool or in an air-conditioned room in a chic, relaxed atmosphere. From Friday onwards, the pace quickens, with a mixed grill evening (lobster, grilled prawns...) with live band. On Sundays, a poolside brunch is followed by a large buffet. The Beach Club remains a must for major events, and is often privatized.

Between its intimate restaurant, open-air bar and panoramic terrace, the establishment offers a pleasant setting for a drink or dinner for two or with friends. With its half-gastro, half-street food menu, it attracts an eclectic clientele of all social classes and nationalities. You can enjoy homemade burgers, grilled meats and salads, as well as more inventive dishes such as lamb shank with clementine sauce and lobster termidor, the chef's specialty! Also great signature cocktails.

Facing Pointe Denis, with its feet in the sand, l'Iroko enjoys an exceptional oceanfront setting. The menu is simple but tempting, varying from meat to fish. From a beef coupe to a fisherman's plate, there's something for everyone! If you're feeling peckish, try the fish rillettes or the fresh and delicious captain's carpaccio. At the end of the day, when the sun is fading over the horizon, this is a popular spot to enjoy a cocktail or a beer. DJs sometimes come to liven up the Iroko for festive evenings.
