Crown Bakery
A long-established bakery restaurant in the city centre, open since 1990; air-conditioned, clean, and popular for Lebanese dishes, sandwiches and cakes.
Located on Wilberforce Street in the city centre, opened in 1990. Reviewers call it Freetown's old-timer, and government officials, media people and aid workers often come here for lunch and meetings. It serves Lebanese dishes, pizza, chicken cutlet sandwiches and Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Its house-baked breads, cakes and ice cream are especially popular. The interior is air-conditioned, offering a break from the street heat and noise. No alcohol is served. The city-centre branch closes early, so for dinner try the Crown Xpress branch on Wilkinson Road. Parking nearby is difficult, so take a taxi to the door. Prices are mid-to-low range.
