Le Pekin, Douala
Description
Nestled in a tranquil corner of Douala, this restaurant offers a diverse menu featuring traditional Chinese cuisine crafted from fresh ingredients. Though the food receives praise for its quality, particularly the variety of dishes, patrons note that the prices are relatively high, averaging around 10,000 XAF per person. The dining experience can be marred by inconsistent service and a few disturbances, as staff interactions and kitchen aromas detract from the atmosphere. Despite these drawbacks, the establishment is considered a worthy destination for intimate gatherings or family outings, especially when visited during quieter hours. Reservations for private dining are recommended.

We enjoyed a selection of dishes, all of which were exceptional. They offer a private room that can accommodate up to 10-15 guests, but it's advisable to book in advance since it's quite sought after. It's a lovely venue for hosting birthdays or other private celebrations.
The food was decent, but the atmosphere left something to be desired. There was a noticeable disturbance as the staff were engaged in a heated argument with a customer, which created a loud noise that disrupted the relaxing vibe of the evening. Despite this, I find myself willing to give it another shot because the food was quite enjoyable.
Nice quiet restaurant in a calm neighborhood in Douala. On the high side with prices (cheapest main course about 7800FCFA) and PRESENTATION. The food is OK. Wasn't very impressed with their pork ribs though. Waitresses are polite and helpful. Not bilingual (speak only French) though. Adequate parking with wheel chair accessible entrance.
The food tastes just like authentic Chinese cuisine, and to top it off, they also offer drinks from China, which makes you feel like you’re really there.
