TWIGA
Read moreClose to the Base Hospital, this restaurant is sheltered but entirely open onto a small garden, adorned with a few plants. The wooden architecture and decor are elegant, right down to the beautifully upholstered chairs. It's one of the meeting places of the town's notables, who gather around hearty plates and a nice cold beer. The menu is well-stocked with top-quality Congolese and European cuisine. Everything you need to have a good time. Breakfast available. Friendly staff.
CHEZ MÈRE GINA BACOT ‘OYO
Read moreAfter the death of the ever-popular Mère Gina in 2012, her sister, Madame Caroline, took over. This modest straw hut still serves maboké (fish or meat, wrapped in wild leaves), undoubtedly the best in the region. You can also feast on bushmeat and a delicious homemade broth. This place, where Gina's presence and the smells of her cooking still linger, is one of the city's best surprises.
