Eating Like The Locals In The Streets of Yaounde Cameroon
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- There is no better way to explore a new city in a new country than through food and this is why we are taking you around the streets of Yaoundé, Cameroon to eat everything we can find and stop at some of the most popular attractions in town.
The street food is truly ingrained in the Cameroonians culture. From grilled fish, to akra beans and of course soya of 50/50 you can find a very wide variety of food from vendors all around the city.
Our personal highlight was our visit at the Briqueterie of Yaoundé. This is a true street meat paradise. The ambiance, and the delicious skewers for only 50 franc each really made our day from the start.
Other than the food, it was fascinating to drive around Yaoundé and explore the city and there is no better way to see the big picture than from the top of Mont-Fébé. Also make sure to stop at the Reunification Monument to appreciate it's unique architecture.
To end the day, we suggest a stop at the Panoramique Lounge locate on the 11th floor of the Hilton Hotel Yaounde (The best hotel in Yaounde). Not for the food but really for the bats. Seeing thousand of massive bats flying around the building at sunset is truly an experience of it's own.
Looking for an amazing driver in Yaoundé who also doubles as a tour guide?

Où sont mes frères du continent camerounais 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Welcome to Cameroon btw
Merci beaucoup mon ami!
Le continent🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Cameroon seems to be a foodie paradise. I am feeling hungry just watching you enjoy this street food ❤
Yeah they really have a nice street food scene.
Cameroons is really a foodie paradise.
I am a Cameroonian and I can confirm this 100%; you can come around some time too: you definitely wouldn't regret it 😉
Alex's English accent sounds like he's from the French-speaking part of Cameroon, but otherwise, his English is really impressive 👏
In Cameroon you can have a different dish on every single day during a whole year 😊
It helps that Dave is bilingual and a native French-speaker who can manourve the language barrier so easily with Cameroonians. Going to a foreign place where communication is seamless makes the adventure unforgettable! 👍
I 100% agree! It really helped. 👍🏼🇨🇲
I am from Yaoundé and i can confirmé that we are enjoying our food there;)
So delicious! :)
Yall did a good job showing what Cameroon has to offer
Hey thank you so much for that! :D
I really hope Cameroon 🇨🇲🇨🇲 will soon develop more as a country in the next following years.
All the best to Cameroon :)
Unfortunately when all the 90 years old ruling the country since independence are unalived.
In Yaoundé puff puff can usually be found everywhere. But they are only available in the morning and evening, not at lunchtime. The people there eat them every day for breakfast (at home and at the stall) and for dinner (especially at the cook's stall like one where you wanted to drink palm wine and in the restaurant like one where you ate grilled fish).
By the way, thank a lot you for sharing this great video.
We were just too late that day BUT we did find some in Kribi and it quickly became our favorite! So so good. 👍🏼
It is so sad that the Anglophone area is unsafe, i think zou would have loved exploring Bamenda and Buea
Maybe next trip :)
If people were open minded to other countries' culture and way of their lives instead of calling them poor, I believe the stereotypes would be kinda less.I agree there's poverty and there's also traditions and foreigners can't demistify none of it.Dave n mani are doing a good job
Thank you Sir !!
Infact, so many people.... especially here in North America and parts of Europe, had just started to realize their ignorance and biases after TH-cam and Google opening their eyes especially about the African continent!
And especial thanks to D and T Mani's for your great work.
Even here in Canada or the USA, there's always poverty everywhere on earth.
I think traveling is the best way to open to other cultures and way of life. ❤️
We Cameroonians are not poor bro ❤
I love how chill and friendly the people are ❤❤
1:21 Dave cooling the skewer as Alex munches his 😂😂
Haha mine was straight from the grill! :p
In the Building watching from Baltimore MD 😎
Cheers mate! :)
Yeah Nice welcoming country l love my CAMEROON but the roads are still very dusty and careless in a whole beautiful capital without talking about the other regions 😅😅😅nice content
Thanks :)
Hello!
Enjoying this video. May I add that while German settlers did arrive in 1888, it was not the beginning of this land then. There was always a rich cultural history in Yaounde, Cameroon and other colonised places in the world long before the 19th Century.
Thank you for the extra information. ❤️👍🏼
Thank you for the extra information. ❤️👍🏼
Woooow Cameroon looks good hopefully they will be more developed soon. The street food looks amazing. You guys just gave Alex a good job idea hopefully he gets customers 💕
Those little soya things were the BEST! :p
i love your cameroon videos!! I want to go so bad now
We had so much fun there! :D
Cameroon looks really green and beautiful and its interesting to hear Dave speak French with the locals hi Tracy!
Yeah Cameroon was super lush indeed!
Beautiful!!! Seems like a really nice country, I have to add it to my list!
Great video, looking forward to much more! Specially Africa! Cheers 🍺🍺
We for sure had a lot of fun in Cameroon! :)
Wow.
You both are amazing, great energy levels. I didn't expect you to go to Cameroon 🇨🇲. Lovely street food and lovely settings throughout.

Hey @DaveMani, so happy you have been to my country twice. As a suggestion, try Achu, Ekwang, Congo meat and Eru. You also need an authentic fish experience in Limbe. Great videos and awesome content.
Thanks for the tips!
The things you eat Dave 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 nothing but respect. That could never be me. That green thing you have eaten ,It has reminded me of the blood at the Maasai homestead. All picky eaters one side. Such a great vlog. I am loving this Cameroon series. My best.
Hahaha! Fair enough, that little brown paste in the leaf was for sure... different! But I'm always willing to try! :)
it would be a pleasure to invite you to discovery the diversity of traditional food you can have in yaounde the next time you will come
Sounds like a plan! ✅
I love your vibes. Tracy seems to enjoy herself. I can't wait to see the rest of your Cameroon series
Thank you so so much! :)

As much as I would like, I am not sure if people would care. Maybe tho!

Yaoundé my town❤🇨🇲
Yaay!
Wow wow wowo chouette petit vlog du Cameroun à Yaoundé.
Je viens de Belgique et j'ai des origines camerounaise du côté de ma maman qui est né là bas même 😅❤.
Désolée je ne parle pas anglais 😢 j'espère que vous me comprendrez. Et hate de voir la prochaine vidéo de vlog du Cameroun 🇨🇲.
Génial! Nous avons adoré notre mois au Cameroune. Nous avons fait 4 autres videos qui serons publiées bientot! :)
The continent❤
❤️
Pistache (aka. mystery food), btw, is pumpkin seed paste mixed with spices and raw palm oil and then steamed in banana leaves.
Oh well, I liked it! Haha
Cool 👍 😂
Thanks :)
Yummy 😋😄😇
Sure was!
Nice video 😊
Thanks 😊
Hi Dave. Thanks to your video and information, I was able to contact Alex and he gave me a tour last week. Great to have met Alex and learn about Yaounde! Was hoping I could post a picture but YT apparently does not allow. All the best.
That is super cool to hear! I'm glad and feel free to send the photo via instagram! :)
Yummy 😋😋
It was 100%
Love the video. How did you make the subscribe button light up ?
It's a new feature! You simply have to say subscribe and it does it. Same for the like button as well.
Dave and Tracy please compare Nairobi and Yaoundé in terms of development and infrastructure. Never mind the fact that there are French speakers in Yaoundé to make Dave’s day.
Why????
Nairobi is definitely better
Cameroon has been in standstill in terms of infrastructure development for 40 years because of its political situation. On the other hand, Kenya is one of the most touristic country on the continent. Therefore, Nairobi is definitely ahead of Yaounde in terms of infrastructure. I don't think the gap in terms of human development is huge though. I have been to both countries and that's my personal take on it.
I don't like comparing. Every country has some better and worst but is unique as well.
This is the problem with Africans always trying to compare. Maybe we should try comparing nairobi to newyork
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching Faith :D
I think Africa is growing fast than expected
For sure!!
guys are you going to cote-ivoire next ?? its a very touristic country, its in africa too and they speak french. but in cote ivoire you can find many guide cause its a very touristic country. love your videos especially the africans country one!!!
We would LOVE to!!!
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
When will you come back to Kenya again, i admire you my friend and Tracy ❤❤
We were then just left again
@@DaveMani
Oh.. have impressive exploration then bro.
There’s no one I’d rather watch travel Africa than you guys 🫶🏽 hope Tracey’s stomach is handling the different food and drink ok 😅
Wow thank you so so much Jess!
Great vlog Dave real nice food tour is this yaounde is in Africa?
It sure is!
Hi Dave. Planning to get a7iv but realised that has 1.5 crop on 4k 60fps? Do you record on full hd and upscale to 4k?
I do 1080p 60fps.
Beer at 1.35USD double sized am going there 😂
Best deal ever right! 🍻🇨🇲
You have just covered the city capital, there's alot more to discover. Cameroon is a Africa in miniature, that's why it is call Le Continent .
We made a full series from Yaoundé to Kribi, the West and more!
Would love to know what is the 9 to 5 work you do as it seems to make you travel around Africa a fair bit.
Its nothing interesting trust me...
Come on tell the viewers@@DaveMani
Both of y'all enjoying Yaounde
Of course :)
❤❤❤❤
Bonne journée :)
For food, you have to eat with family, otherwise in Limbe, the beach, there are very good fish.
viva Cameroon
We did eat on the beach and wow that was good!
J’aimerais aller vivre à *KRIBI*
C'est un très bel endroit! :)
@@DaveMani MOI ça ne serais PAS dans l’immédiat, mais peut être un jour, tu as un commerce la bas?
Wow! Is it safe out there? There is war in South western Cameroon. Be safe.
Thank you, sir and ma'am.
We felt fine in Yaoundé honestly.
Are you from Quebec? Nice video. I’m from Cameroon living in MTL
Oui, je viens de Laval. 😬
@@DaveMani C'est cool ça! Très belle chaîne. Tu as un nouveau abonné. 🫱🏿🫲🏻
Cameroon is best for food in Africa
I did really it! 👍🏼
1st!
Amazing!
So Alex the driver is from Nso
Possible
👍
Cheers!
le man a tchop tous les soyas ah ah ah ah
Soya is the BEEEST!
19:19 Imagine flying the drone inside a tornado of big bats 🤯
Yeah that would have been cool! A bit dangerous for the bats and the drone tho! hahaha
very nice video just the taxi price is missing per km
There was not a price per KM. We paid him for the day. ($40)
@@DaveMani
Hi, another question, how is it about mosquitos in Cameroon? You need mosquito nets? Are the mosquitos tropical ones which are so tiny so you cannot get them like in Peru? how you protected
yourself from mosquitos there?
i am a camerounian and amazed you bought that thing in the leaf for 2500 cfa very funny
No no no , I got bracelets AND that food thing.
@@DaveMani HOW ON EARTH can you acheive answering every comment ?? respect
Accra beans is called here beignets koki😂😂
Aaaah. It was pretty nice.
White man go cam chop 36 suya 😂 soteh add four
I love those things loll
Yaoundé was founded by German traders? How? That’s miseducation. Nonetheless I appreciate the video
My point what that Cameroon was a German Colony in the late 1800's.
Watching this in Yaoundé 👁👄👁
Amazing :)
You guys have a great health insurance cover then.The way you guys are foodies and never experienced stomach issues well i'd like a stomach like that.
The more you eat around the world, the less stomach issues you get trust me :p
That was corn beer not palm wine
It was 👍🏼
Hey Dave, I offer tour around Yaounde, and neighboring regions. Send me a mail when next you visit Cameroon 🇨🇲
Awesome
the trip must have costed $200
The full trip? Or that day? Because that day coasted much less than that. Street food is fairly affordable.
Hi @@DaveMani how much would a day tour similar to yours cost?
🇨🇲 still behind compared to Kenya 🇰🇪 you need to give us an honest comparison ?😅😅😅
I never compare countries.
In terms food we are blessed with abundance of food in Cameroon as compared to Kenya which is a dessert but in terms of infrastructure, Nirobi is way more developed than Yaounde.
Pls make videos in order so that we can explore countries better with you guys.Rest ,you guys are amazing as always
Thank you so much. The videos are in order. Simply look at the date and that should help confirm.
I really like you guys. Take good care of yourselves.
❤️❤️❤️
