Timetable

On the street, you can quench your thirst and eat at any time of day. On every street corner, a mother tends her little makala to grill a fish or a piece of goat, warm bananas or chikwangue. In town, tea and pastry shops are open from 7am to 6pm.

Budget & Tips

All purchases can be made in Congolese francs, but most major expenditures are made in dollars, by bank card or in cash. To change money, prefer street traders to bank counters.

What's very local

Depending on the place, beer is served by the glass or by the bottle, in 67 or 33 cl sizes, the latter being nicknamed "the little one in the neighborhood". You can drink it anywhere, at any time of day or night. Blonde, brown or very dark, with roasted peanuts, it's even better. For some years now, if you order a 33cl beer, you'll be served two bottles, the idea being that 33cl is little more than half the size of 67, so you owe it to yourself to do the honors. If you still only want one, just say so.

Smokers

The Congolese are not very fond of smoking and except in public places, there is no prohibition to indulge in this slight vice.
