Le Wouri serves Cameroonian food in a straightforward setting that caters mainly to local diners — which is always a good sign. The house specialties include ndolé (bitter leaf stew with groundnuts and fish or meat), eru (a forest leaf vegetable slow-cooked with waterleaf and palm oil), and sanga (cassava with black-eyed peas). Portions are large and prices are low.
This is the kind of restaurant where you eat what Yaoundé actually eats, rather than a tourist approximation of it. The service is unhurried — this is not a place that rushes you — and a long lunch here in the middle of a day of walking is a genuine pleasure.
