Bangui - Post Report Question and Answers

What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?

A smattering of restaurants that are well known to the expats exist, of varying quality and levels of service. The Chinese restaurant is amazing and the food is remarkably authentic. Most of these places are great just simply for being there and open and available. You need to have zero expectations for living in Bangui. - Jun 2018


There are quite a few restaurants in Bangui and a few delivery. Grand Cafe has pizza, burgers, sandwiches, Lebanese style food. 5 Fourchettes has Indian food, burgers, and pizza. Other popular restaurants were Carre Gourmand, Relais de Chasse, L'Escale, and Ali Babas. - Oct 2017


There is no fast food. For expat-style food there are maybe a dozen reasonable choices. Beer is cheap ($2-$3 for a large bottle) and you can get lunch for $8 to $10 and dinner for $10 to $20. If you want to eat like a local, you can spend $1 or $2. - Jan 2012
