I haven't been upstairs to the restaurant but at the bar the selection of bitings and pizza is good and all are delicious. The bar staff are friendly and efficient, great selection of drinks for any taste. If you are in Douala you should drop in, they also have a big screen for football matches but it isn't intrusive.Thank u. Hope to see u soon

We only went here as we were driving out of town early in the morning. They opened up for us a few minutes early when they noticed us standing outside. The pain au raisin was expensive but the best we've had outside France. Everything was just wonderful. My wife thought the baguette we bought tasted a little like soap, but I didn't notice that...

Almost never finish my food here because it is always massive but also super tasty. The tastiest starter is the cream scallops. The hosts are really friendly even when they come across you in town. The waitresses are very nice and the karaoke is very delightful. I love this place!!!

Douala is lucky to be blessed with quite a few decent restaurants (or maybe I should say that it is the foodies of Douala who are blessed!), but Le C is certainly one of the best, for a number of reasons.From your arrival in the restaurant, you are made to feel special, and are usually encouraged to sit in the lounge area with a cocktail and some nibbles while studying the menu. There are excellent alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, and the ambience is relaxed and cosy. The service is attentive without being overbearing. The menu is fairly varied, although I usually end up going for either a starter or a main with prawns, as I know they always do them well.I guess that what marks out le C from some other restaurants is the feeling of class and quality. The food is always beautifully presented, you are always made to feel very welcome and the service is very professional - altogether a very good evening out. Highly recommended.The only caveat, as you would expect, is the price - quality like this goes hand in hand with Le C being one of the more expensive restaurants in Douala, but it is still worth going now and then for a treat.

Ate here around 6 times over two weeks.Extensive menu with Greek, Lebanese, French, and Cameroonian specialties. Service is standard, but I was told by many that this is probably the only place where visitors would want to eat.

I have lived in Douala for years and never once thought to visit. Made a change for Valentineâs Day this year and was glad I did. They didnât note our reservation but they had a seat for 2. My advice confirm your reservation the day after you call to book it. The food was awesome. The service was nice and in general the experience was lovely. At the end of the meal, I got given a beautiful rose which I felt for a second I was going to pay for The food prices are high but totally worth it. The wine is quite moderate though. Would definitely revisit

We have been wanting to visit Saga Africa for quite a while since it looks so inviting when you pass. On a practical note itâs great you can park outside even though it is a busy road and inside you have the choice of air conditioning or not, both locations are equally atmospheric. Food was very tasty, I went chinese, my hubby went for pizza, 6,500cfa each. They do loads of local recipes which is great if you fancy Ndole or Poulet dg! Prices seemed a little high for local food, 7,500cfa for half a poulet dg and 10-15,000cfa for roast fish. We were in a large group and everyone enjoyed their meals. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful which is always a bonus. I would thoroughly recommend Saga Africa!

I have rarely enjoyed such an excellent dinner last evening in Douala. Hosted by a good friend we were received by the Manager and owner Gérôme who is from Bretagne and has lived man years in Douala. His recommendations were exceptional (grilled huge shrimps and to start with a cheese based dish which was hit with slices of pear. Truly delicious. And the wine list was also most impressive with the recommended Bordeaux, remarkable. I highly recommend and will go whenever I visit Douala, for family, friends or business associates. Even on my own!

I recently spent a week in Douala for a business trip with some colleagues and we decided to give this place a try after reading the positive reviews here. It was located about a fifteen minute walk from our hotel (Starland) and tucked in to a semi-residential part of town off of the main roads. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the owner, a young Indian man from Delhi who seated us immediately. He went over the specials for the day and made recommendations based off of what we told him we like. While they have a wide variety of items on the menu, all five of us picked some type of Indian food to enjoy. Both mutton dishes I had were fantastic, and everyone at the table was very happy with the quality, and quantity of the food. The service was fantastic as well and I highly recommend giving this place a try on your next trip to Douala.

I recently ended up spending more time than I expected in Douala, at the hotel next door to this restaurant. It was convenient, so I went there one day for lunch. It was good, so I went back for dinner and another lunch. I wasn't wrong in my initial assessment.This is a reasonable size place, with one room, and an open kitchen at the back. The menu is, as the name implies, heavy on pizza, but also has a broad selection of pizza-ish selections, as well as a large variety of pasta and meat dishes. I tried a couple of pizzas, as well as some of the pasta dishes. All were very well made, tasty, and portions were ample. The kitchen is also consistent and over the course of three meals here, did not have one which disappointed in the least.Service was prompt and professional and perhaps more interestingly, consistent. It appears as if the servers have been there for some time, since they seem very familiar with the menu.Prices are not inexpensive when the area is considered, but would be relatively inexpensive to anyone more used to European or North American prices.Overall, I don't believe you would go wrong here, and I would not hesitate to return if I were back in Douala.Thank you so much for your coment...Hope to see you again
