La Mandarine Dessert Restaurant
La Mandarine
A long-running city-centre dessert shop and restaurant, open since 1993, popular for its cakes, ice cream and Lebanese shawarma.
Says it has been Brazzaville's dessert benchmark since 1993. Located on Avenue Foch in the city centre, it combines a patisserie, tea room, ice cream parlour and restaurant. In the morning it sells viennoiseries such as croissants, good for breakfast. The main menu has Lebanese dishes, Western food, pizza and sandwiches, with shawarma, kofta and house-made ice cream often mentioned, plus a crêpe counter. Open daily 06:30–23:00. No reservations needed, and prices are mid-range. Easy to reach by taxi from the centre. A few negative reviews mention food hygiene.
