Maman Ro Family Restaurant
Le Verger – Chez Maman RO
A family restaurant in a house garden in Bacongo, where the hostess cooks a three-course traditional Congolese meal each evening at an affordable price.
Set in the garden of the hostess's home in Bacongo, with tables under banana, safou, mango and lychee trees, lit by candles or kerosene lamps in the evening. There is no menu: the host decides the dishes each night, usually a three-course traditional Congolese meal in generous portions. The signature is moringa leaf salad, and the saka-saka and grilled meat are also praised. The host often sits down to chat with guests. Open from 19:00 each evening, and phone reservations are required. It is opposite the TOTAL market near the SELE restaurant and hard to find, so ask a driver or local to guide you. A full meal costs about 10,000 CFA francs.
