7. Chez Maman Colonel
Reviewed By TroisChatsLies
The location in Macampagne has a beautiful garden setting. The food is as good as the location in Bandal, but when we went last week unfortunately their famous roast chicken was under-sized to say the least (like, the size of your fist). The fish was delicious however. Be aware, service is EXTREMELY slow. You may wait up to 3 hours for your dinner. It is highly recommended to call and place your order in advance. I'd give 5 stars except for the s l o w service and confused wait staff.Usually a band walks around serenading you through dinner, which is an interesting/nice touch.

I was in the river restaurant with my class. I ate carbonara pasta, the food was a little good and the presentation not bad. The restaurant is clean, quiet there are not many people. He plays different sounds pretty peaceful, the waiters were kinds and welcoming. They are careful for exemple he's watching if were done finished with the drink to remove the bottle. But food lags when you ordered, but it was still Nice. I recommend it if you like quiet place

5. Le Balcon
Reviewed By Steeve17
Le Balcon is a bar and restaurant in Ngaliema, about 800 meters after Utex Africa. It is on the last floor (third or fourth) of a commercial building. The food is good, but prepared in a Congolese way. For example, I had a full chicken with fries. The chicken was cut like in a nganda (traditional Congolese restaurant): cut into small pieces, without removing or taking the bones into account (Congolese people do eat small bones, unlike Westerners).The Congolese friend who shared this lunch with me enjoyed the food very much. With that, we had a couple of beers. The service was good and we paid only $22 for two. There were several couples chilling out on the sofas. I think it's a good place to do so.
4. Marina
Reviewed By godelievem
I visited Marina Restaurant during my last trip in Congo. The magnificent view of the Congo River brings peace of the mind while enjoying a nice beef fillet braised kebab and all sorts of green vegetables. Visit Marina and you will find any type of world food and delicacies of the Congo under one roof.

The restaurant is located on the sixth floor of a modern building in an open air terrace with a good view of Kinshasa and the Congo river. The food portions are aplenty and fairly tasty but not on the cheap side, especially considering that the establishment still charges you at the Dollar equivalent of 1000 FC when it is exchanged everywhere at the rate of one Dollar to 1220 FC. My other concern is that the restaurant seems to be a sort of Jack of all trades, but not really master of none. There are too many types of cuisine listed for the restaurant's chef to be exceptionally good at any, The overall decor of the restaurant seems also out of character with the type of cuisine offered: Egyptian sculptures and hieroglyphs?? Last bot not least and despite the modernity of the building, the apparent pipes here and there, the broken tiles in the mens room, the wobbling faucets mar a feeling that could otherwise be near total satisfaction

Since the Gekko's has closed a few months ago, there are only two restaurants in Kinshasa that serve sushi: The Paradise and The Carvao restaurants (at least, that's what I thought...) Craving for sushi, I went to the Carvao with a friend. I asked the waiter what kind of sushi they had. He replied they didn't make sushi anymore. You can imagine how disappointed I was because I had chosen this restaurant only for that reason. I later learned that the main chef, the one who could prepare the sushi, left for another restaurant -the Limoncello.I asked a coquille Saint-Jacques, but they didn't have it either. How disappointing! In the end, I chose chicken with a mushroom sauce and croquettes. It was good and only $15. For dessert, I had a Dame blanche, good as well but overpriced for the amount of ice cream (only one scoop): $12.My friend chose beef and was happy with it. When we were eating, we saw that mussels and fries were served at another table. I knew one person at that table and, on the following day, I inquired about the mussels. She said they were excellent and she would recommend this dish, a Belgian speciality, to everyone. It isn't cheap: $40 per person, with fries and a drink included. But at least we know that it can be found there and that it is of a good quality. My first experience at the Carvao restaurant wasn't amazing, but I will go back - I will go back for their mussels.

A Kinshasa institution beloved by locals and expats for excellent rotisserie chicken.

Chicken is delicious but I would suggest to also consider desserts as an essential part of the menu. When asked, the waiter said that despite this is a recurrent request from the customers, the cook seems reluctant in procuring the desserts for the restaurant (?). Lol.
