La Fourchette INTERNATIONAL $$$
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
( 3343 2611; Rue Franqueville; mains CFA7000-18,000; 10am-11pm Mon-Sat) An incredibly smart
and tasteful option, La Fourchette's menu is out of this world if you're used to the more
normal Cameroonian choice of chicken or fish. Here you'll find steak tartare, grilled zebu
fillet, goat's cheese ravioli and stuffed crab, with prices to match. Service is charmingly
formal, you should dress to impress and booking ahead is a good idea.
Drinking & Nightlife
Douala has a lively nightlife scene, though much of it can be inaccessible to visitors
without local contacts. The areas of Bonapriso, Bonanjo and Akwa contain the most bars
and clubs.

(Pl du Gouvernement; 7.30am-11pm Mon-Sat; ) Housed inside a 1905 colonial German resid-
ence, this charming cafe on Bonanjo's main square has a great garden terrace perfect for
an evening drink, as well as a cool interior with a full menu and an intellectual/alternative
vibe. Literary types might like to know that this is the building identified as 'la Pagode' in
Céline's Journey to the End of the Night .
American Graffiti BAR

(Rue Sylvani; ) Pool bar, retro-diner and generally cool hang-out, this is the place to go
drinking with a friendly and cool selection of Doualan youth. Try the delicious burgers, or
your hand at pool on one of the two tables while downing a cool beer.
