A Guide to Cameroonian Cuisine

Cameroonian cuisine is a celebration of bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and deep tradition. At The Retreat, we bring these flavors directly to your table.

Ndolé — The National Dish

A rich stew of bitter leaves, ground peanuts, and your choice of beef or fish, ndolé is often considered Cameroon's signature dish. Its complex, earthy flavor is unlike anything else.

Poulet DG

Literally "Director's Chicken," this festive dish combines chicken, fried plantains, and a colorful mix of vegetables. It's a celebration on a plate — perfect for special occasions.

Eru & Water Fufu

A staple from the Southwest region, eru is made from finely shredded forest leaves cooked with palm oil, waterleaf, and smoked fish or beef. Served with soft water fufu, it's comfort food at its finest.
