A date is not decided by the bill. It is decided in the first ten minutes: can you hear each other, do you feel like staying, is there something to look at when a silence comes. Yaoundé has what it takes, as long as you know where to go.

Here are six ideas, in the order we suggest you live them: walk first, sit down after.

First, walk

Nothing relaxes like a walk side by side: you talk without staring at each other, and the setting does half the talking.

In Bastos, open every day from 7 am to 10 pm according to its listing: calm during the day, livelier in the evening. People come as much for a coffee as for dinner.

Or get some air
