Le Dernier Comptoir Colonial — French Colonial / Seafood, Douala
Le Dernier Comptoir Colonial specialises in exquisite seafood dining in one of Douala’s most atmospherically charged settings. The name — ‘The Last Colonial Counter’ — both acknowledges and gently subverts the city’s French colonial history, creating a dining environment that is historically aware without being nostalgic.
The seafood programme takes the Atlantic and Wouri estuary catch as its primary brief: the fish and shellfish that Douala’s extraordinary geographical position provides, prepared with the French technique that the colonial period embedded in the city’s culinary culture.
The wine programme is French-colonial in its orientation: the wines of the Bordeaux and Burgundy that the colonial trading tradition made available in West African port cities.
Le Dernier Comptoir Colonial is the Douala restaurant for evenings that want the historical atmosphere of the colonial city alongside the finest available seafood.
