Le Café Gourmand - Bujumbura

2022 Update: We have been coming since 2012. Also here the service continues to be AMAZING. We love the staff! Reliable and you get food made equal (same style / recipe / taste) almost every time. Very rare. My compliments to the management and the cook for their consistency and quality throughout these years. We still love the Lemonade Maison, all the coffee, Mokaccino (Frappuccino). Ice is much improved. Glacé Gourmand flavor is amazing with the Moka. Very recommend to get it STRAIGHT from the counter. Otherwise it melts before it comes to you. Would be nice if it was served in frozen bowls. Fucking waffles. Chicken Caesar Salad is very beautiful, although a little boring. We ask for avocados or tomatoes on the side. Hawaiian Chicken Salad is beautiful. Smash Burger may be the best burger in town. And the chips (French Pommes) are amazing! The Southern Chicken Fried Burger is great. All their foods are usually excellent. Service: We asked for the burger for the children without vegetables and cheese on the side. That's how it happened. So simple, but this is the first place in the city that listened to us and gave us what we asked. Also the sweet staff brought our girl a free dish of side cake. You're always so nice to our kids. Loved the chocolate message in my cappuccino. Old 2021 Review: The Brie and Marmelade sandwich (essentially a really nice roast beef sandwich), and the Chicken Burger is amazing. Our girls love the quiche Lorraine. Sad, We also feel that the ice has become less reliable in quality and taste. Very sad as it used to be our favorite in the works. Please repair!!! Five stars for consistent and reliable in quality and service. We love this place. Since 2012-2013. So many wonderful people have met here. Great atmosphere. And the view! Stunning terrace view of both the Burundi mountains and the Congolese mountains. Also worth the breeze. Really refreshing, but below is air conditioned and great for hot days. The food has never failed to be 4-5 stars and the bakery and pastries could compete everywhere in Europe. One of the fastest meals in Buja, which says something. Great if you need a quick bite. It's nice to eat and not worry about the cleanliness factor and never had anyone sick, a big thing here. Recommend to the Iced Mokaccino, icy Moka, Lemonade Maison, and just about everything in between. If you get an icy mixed or milkshake and melted it before it came to you, send it back and they won't fix it. Great service!!!

My mother loves her bread and baking skills! If my momma approves, I agree

I love this place! It's just amazing, there are these Lil Muffins I can't get enough of!

Best place for bakery and pastry items. Great coffee and ice cream. Serving great breakfast. Best croissant !

Quite possibly the best little French cafe around here. I had a chicken sandwich and cappuccino. We sat upstairs which had beautiful views. Our waiter was nice. I’m only giving 4 stars for the service. Waiter forgot my cappuccino long after everyone else got their coffees. Husband ordered an iced cappuccino but got a mokachino instead still delicious. Would come back for the desserts.
