Mbidia Koukou

This beachfront restaurant is located off the airport road, at a hotel of the same name. They serve really good cheeseburgers and fries, lambchops, steak, prawns, fish kebabs, and various cold-cut sandwiches at very reasonable prices. There are several thatched roof-shaded tables on the beach and additional seating at the terrace bar.

Boulangerie Centrale

Located one street south of the Catholic church and elementary school, Mayumba's central bakery makes fresh bread daily.

Restaurant Basse Banio

A ‘cafette', also on Mayumba's main street, which serves mostly inexpensive fast fried food, Basse Banio is a well-frequented spot for morning coffee and omelettes. They're quick and open early-to-late. There is seating inside, and outside on a small terrace, where you can watch main street Mayumba's comings and goings. The owner speaks some English.

Snacks

Various boutiques sell rolls with margarine or chocolate sauce, bags of popcorn and peanuts, and lait caillé, a frozen yogurt treat that's really refreshing on hot rainy-season days. There are two women in the main market that make bean sandwiches for CFA 300 each. Other women sell 'beignets', a kind of unsweetened doughnut, or smoked fish, or smoked oysters or clams on a stick in season. It pays to look around, as sometimes fresh fruit like mandarins, bananas, and grapefruit can be found in the market and along most of the roads in town.
