Chez Flore

Kinshasa


If you're looking for a Congolese restaurant with a local crowd and laid-back vibe, this is it. The friendly staff will explain the large menu, which is in Lingala for the most part, and you can enjoy the enormous portions served at the plastic tables in the garden.

Beers are also just US$2 each – great value in Kin!
