Le Cercle Gourmand

Reviewed By Steeve17

Le Cercle gourmand is the most beautiful restaurant in Kinshasa. It is located inside the golf course, 500 meters beyond the restaurant O Poeta, when you come from the Boulevard du 30 Juin, on your left-hand side. The lighting is perfect. The paintings are very original. The tables, chairs and everything else as well. I agree with the other reviewers: once you are there, you don't feel you are in Kinshasa anymore. The service is pretty good too, but you need to be careful when you pay. I had to pay $113. I gave them $150. How much do you think I got back? - $16. I am not the best at arithmetic, but come on! That's too obvious! In other words, you need to double-check. As far as the food is concerned, we chose the Menu du Chef. It was the cheapest option: $50 per person for three courses. For drinks, we had a tonic ($5) and a pineapple juice ($9). We started with a delightful soup, then my girlfriend had chicken with risotto and I a captain fish with spinach and potatoes, and for dessert we both had a feuilleté aux pommes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All these dishes were a true delight for our eyes and for our palates. We had a very good time there and I really advise you to go for a special moment such as a birthday, an anniversary, a proposal or something of that kind, or for an important business meeting. Enjoy!Steeve,Thank you for your nice comment. Of course concerning the return of money from your bill, we will immediately inform the people in charge and we apologize.Rest assured that your comments have already been shared with all our employees.We look forward to welcoming you again at the Cercle Gourmand, and would love to meet you on this occasion.Very Sincerely,Stephani Goepfert

Chez Gaby

Reviewed By DaPunch

Chez Gaby serves an authentic line up of Portuguese cuisine with a personal touch. Mr. Gaby himself takes the initiative to welcome you to his establishment and also caters to your dietary needs. One must try the sumptuous steaks; great wine list. For desert, try the home made chocolate & of course to cap it all... great cigars.

Orchids

Reviewed By mmauleon

I had the pleasure to eat twice in the restaurant Orchids. French cuisine is the base of their menu. The plates are just amazing! I've decided to taste the duck with fruits sauce. Incredible dish. Also, I had the pleasure to taste to dishes of my colleagues and believe me, they were incredible. If you are in Bukavu, you must go to Orchids to have lunch or dinner. It's expensive but worth it.

Reviewed By ride_and_dive_1965

The only thing good in Le Chalet is that it is where all foreigners meet on Wednesday for the buffet.But buffet: very average food even if cheap comparing Goma prices standards.Pizza is one of the worst in Goma. Call it a tart but that is not a pizza.Menu is poor. Meat arrived too cooked.Happy hour at the bar cover only few drinks including watery cocktail.Not recommended at all except if you want to meet people from all NGOs and organizations in Goma

Sea food French Gastronomie

Reviewed By pascalc331

So there is this rather stylish place serving a few classics of French cuisine in Kinshasa. It's not experimental, ist not new, it does not pretend to be anything it is not. Straight in your face honest old style cooking at its best. Lobster ravioli, veal fillet and a dessert made s perfect meal. Rather highly priced, but acceptable for what they serve.

Rocas Restaurant & grill

Reviewed By SergioBT

I had been told about Rocas before I headed to Kinshasa. I was told to expect the best Spanish cuisine and a fantastic service.Rocas is a professional outlet that is both popular and extremely well managed.Arriving was a pleasure as, I was greeted with a sincere smile and a warm welcome.Food is as Spanish as you're going to get without being in Spain. Great presentation, extremely authentic flavours, Iberian African at its best! And the prices were both keen and approachable.Their best dishes combine the following ingredients: a third of pleasant and polite service, another third of authentic and flavoursome food, and one final third of keen and well-honed prices. To your taste, add some friends as company. You're on to a winner!Thank you Rocas for a great night. My visit to Kinshasa was good but my visit to your restaurant was memorable.

O'Poeta

Reviewed By Mike A

Enjoyed a lovely dinner at O'Poeta on the weekend where they had live music playing. It gets crowded on a Sunday. The food was brought out in a timely manner and the pizza was amazing. Customer service was outstanding - I think I found my go to place while in Kinshasa. I've done delivery a few times from O'Poeta and each time they arrive in less than an hour. I highly recommend going to O'Poeta for a great meal.

A Casa Mia

Reviewed By Malarchy

Casa Mia is an Italian restaurant in the Gombe district of Kinshasa just along from the Pullman hotel. It is a restaurant designed with a touch of class though its food offerings are just ok rather than delicious.The private area of the restaurant sits behind sliding glass doors. It contains dozens of bottles along the shelves which at first glance make for a nice backdrop but it is pretty easy to spot the repition as there are only around four different marques amongst them. The private area is useful though as it is quietier than the main area and also less prone to smoke inhalation as it appears that the restaurant permits smoking. The main area is a clean white colour all round and does still have a well-defined and pleasant scheme. The exterior is also nice with a little pathway into the restaurant but not especially dramatic.Service is attentive and quick though payment at the till is frosty and unwelcoming. Conversation is limited aside from the amusement at a French speaking Congolese person correcting pronounciation by using the proper Italian word for a food item. Food came out relatively quickly and in good order. Breads and olive oil were on the table.There are a couple of vegetarian options so it is possible to make a bit of a choice. A mushroom pizza is ok. The pizzas come up pretty large so they are filling. There was a touch of flavour added to the mushrooms but it was not overly noticeable. The base pizza itself was somewhat plain and did not have any additional garnishings or herbs. It was medium cooked, not too crunchy. As a meal it was sustaining though not especially exciting.The price reflects Kinshasa's costs. It is too much for what is a relatively basic pizza. Still, the pizzas are cheaper than the pasta options. While Casa Mia is not fine dining, it offers large portions and a decent atmosphere. An acceptable version of Italian in this part of the world.

Limoncello

Reviewed By Patrick T

For the second time now I was dining in the Limoncello restaurant with colleagues (both Congolese and Belgian). All were fond of the fine Italian meals!You will be received there quietly. The menu offers you a very wide choice of the well-known Italian cuisine. The prices are not low, but you get super good food served! Their pizzas are baked à la minute and are highly recommended.With a fine real Limoncello (from the house) you can finish your successful evening.
