L'Odika

Top choice in Libreville


This lovely colonial-style veranda restaurant in the heart of the Quartier Louis is very attractive. You'll find tempting dishes such as beef ndolé (a Cameroonian dish with peanuts, spices and ndolé bitter leaves), colombo du porc (lightly spiced Mauritian pork dish) or seafood brochettes with odika (crushed acacia seed, 'chocolate') sauce. Polished timber floors, fresh flowers and local art on the walls complete the picture.

Reservations are a good idea at the weekends.
