    Meal: Dinner Day Visited: Sunday Budget: XOF 20,000 Closest Station: N/A Reservation Needed?: No Payment: Cash Kid Friendly?: Yes English Menu?: No The restaurant sports a buffet dinner on Sundays, so regular menu items are not available. With that said, I found the buffet to be quite nice, consisting of a wide variety of meats, veggies, and other prepared foods. Service was friendly, if a bit slow (Sunday seems like a popular night for the restaurant, so they were busy). Beautiful views of the Congo River can be had. Recommended!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment, and I can't stop raving about it! The food was excellent, the ambience was delightful, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The local catch of the day was a true masterpiece. Fresh and top-quality ingredients were clearly used, resulting in a dish bursting with incredible flavors. Each bite was perfectly cooked and seasoned, making it the best seafood I've ever had. But what truly stood out was the staff. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone in search of a remarkable dining experience. I can't wait to return and indulge in their culinary delights again soon!

    Enjoyed an afternoon with the most friendly staff. Plus, most spoke English! The breeze and view add great value to this spot. Go during the day to enjoy scenes of the river.

    (Translated by Google) A solid but harmonious hut on the edge of the 2nd largest river in Africa. A local beer in one hand, the next look lazily a fisherman on his canoe, with bottom line the poisonous Kinshasa. The kindness of the waitress's smile. You are in Brazzaville. (Original) Une paillote solide mais harmonieuse posée sur le bord du 2ème grand fleuve d'Afrique. Une bière locale dans une main, le regard suivant paresseusement un pêcheur sur sa pirogue, avec en ligne de fond la vénéneuse Kinshasa. La gentillesse du sourire de la serveuse. Vous êtes bien à Brazzaville.

    (Translated by Google) Friendly and quiet restaurant on the banks of the river barely touched by the evolution of the world. Slow Africa is reassuring sometimes. (Original) Restau sympathique et tranquille au bord du fleuve à peine touché par l’évolution du monde. La slow Africa c’est rassurant parfois.

    (Translated by Google) Still one of the best restaurants in Brazzaville. By the river with its view of Kinsaha. You can see the boat and jet ski departures. The service is impeccable even during the lunch break and they are overwhelmed. But the service is always made from there better ways. A most diverse menu, there is everything. Fish, meat, mother fruit. Between African and European cuisine. Everything is done to satisfy you. (Original) Toujours l’un des meilleurs restaurant de Brazzaville. Au bord du fleuve avec sa vue sur Kinsaha. On peut voir les départ de bateau et de jet ski. Le service est impeccable même pendant la pause de midi et qu’ils sont débordés. Mais le service est toujours fait de là meilleur des façons. Une carte des plus diversifiés, on y trouve du tout. Poissons, viandes, fruit de mère. Entre cuisine africaine et européenne. Tout est fait pour vous satisfaire.

  • 5/5 Francois B. 1 year ago on Google
    By the Congo banks, either on the open terrazza-deck overlooking the river from 3 m above or in the botanic garden-like area by the water ramp used to get boats in and out of water, this calm and pretty place serves local and international food of great taste with the help of joyful and efficient staff. Very central and 1mn away on foot from Radisson and the supermarket

  • 3/5 Rebecca H. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place and my food (brochette de capitaine) was actually really delicious. It’s pleasant to sit outside by the river, but there are moucherons (tiny biting flies) that will terrorize you if you’re not wearing big spray. If you forget, ask your server, as they keep some on hand for customers to use, which was really nice. I just can’t give a high starred-rating because of the prices. For some this may not be an issue, but the cheapest on the menu was still about 10.000! So if you’re looking for a pricey place, go for it. For me it’s not worth it with so many more reasonably priced priced delicious places to go.

    (Translated by Google) Mami wata or Mommy water, in French '' Mother of the water '' or rather '' Queen of the waters '', represented by a woman fish that is to say a being of head, hands, chest and of female belly with the rest of the body in the shape of a fish. It is a Congolese concept and elsewhere which consists in considering that there is in the waters a queen (beautiful and coquettish) who reigns there and who makes her appearances on earth when she sees fit. I remember that in primary school Mali wata often appeared on the blackboard, but I have never seen him, neither in my classes nor today. In short, this restaurant is very attractive with its various dishes. He grew up on the edge of the Congo River. Good view and very good service. (Original) Mami wata ou Mommy water, en français ''Mère de l'eau'' ou plutôt ''Reine des eaux'', représentée par une femme poisson c'est-a-dire un être de tête, de mains, de poitrine et de ventre féminin avec le reste du corps en forme de poisson. C'est un concept congolais et d'ailleurs qui consiste à considérer qu'il existe dans les eaux une reine (belle et coquette) qui y règne et qui fait ses apparitions sur terre quand bon lui semble. Je me souviens qu'à l'école primaire, Mali wata apparaissait souvent dans le tableau noir, mais je ne l'ai jamais vu, ni dans mes classes ni aujourd'hui. Bref, ce restaurant est très séduisant par ses plats divers. Il a élevé sur le bord du fleuve Congo. Bonne vue et très bon service.

    Nice place to chill and also they have good food. Better put mosquito repellant so you can enjoy your meal. I'm not sure if they accept cards here.

    Very nice restaurant, the prices are above the average, but still okay. If you take the service and the atmosphere into consideration, it's actually fair and good price. It deserves the visit.

  • 4/5 Roshay P. 2 years ago on Google
    Mami wata never disappoints, the views are amazing and the food is always good . Be sure to try the pizzas. The prices are little on the high side but definitely worth it. Lots of mosquitoes while on the deck , you need to use your anti mozzi lotion or spray you will definitely get bitten. Alot of parking available and awesome vibe at night. There is also boats available if you would like to have a little tour on the congo river.

  • 4/5 Melike Y. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite spot in Brazzaville. The view is nice, the atmosphere of the restaurant is great. Either you come for a drink or to eat you will spend a very good time far from the noise of the city. I had once a plat du jour for lunch, chicken with ananas, which was probably the best meal I had while in Brazzaville. Unfortunately it is not in the menu. We also went there for pizzas and other dishes, which were good but didn't leave the impression of the chicken ananas dish.

  • 5/5 Miguel F. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant in the Brazzaville Corniche, with a great view over the Congo river and Kinshasa. The menu is a mix of traditional Congolese and international cuisine. Try the lobster, chicken and orange salad or the smoked chicken with mouambe (a maize based sauce). The staff was great and helpful, and speak both French and English (at least), and the service was top class. Remember to bring mosquito or insect repellent, especially in the afternoon, since the proximity to the river will attract all kind of bugs.

    Nice place. Good food. Friendly staff. White lady who meets at the entrance, she's so beautiful and nice. Btw she speaks English too which is good if you do not speak French. Some chairs were not comfortable for not so skinny person - that was only problem.

    Situated right beside the river, the place has excellent view. Poshly decorated, the place is cosy and comfortable. Food is well prepared and service is very good. The local fish plate is especially tasty. Great beer selection. Nice music in the background. Reasonable price and popular amongst locals, expatriates and tourists.

  • 4/5 Lubuku V. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was nice and good portions. Nice settings on the Congo river. The only down side for me was that you cannot pay with your card. They said the pos device was broken but other people said that they only take cash. This may be difficult if you have a big group of people and the bill adds up...
