L'Odika Restaurant
L'Odika
A Libreville institution opened in 1989, serving authentic Gabonese food and game in a tropical garden.
Located on Rue Yvonne Tchicot in the Louis district, open since 1989, and described by a local guide as a long-standing favorite in the city. It specializes in African and Gabonese dishes; its namesake odika sauce (made from wild mango kernels), captain fish soup and game dishes are the most praised. It also serves grills and European dishes, and the English menu explains African dish names. The restaurant is hidden in a lush tropical garden, with a terrace and an air-conditioned dining room. About 15,000–25,000 Central African CFA francs per person. Service is slow, and parking in the Louis district is difficult on Saturday evenings, so arrive early. Closed on Tuesdays.
Opening hours
12:00–15:30, 19:00–22:45; closed Tuesdays
