Crown Bakery

Crown bakery is an institution; it’s a consistently good, if costly, restaurant in the centre of town which produces fine Lebanese, European and international dishes. They know their audience and cater very well, with a range from snack and light meals to full plated home-foods. The meal of the day is often a good meat-and-two-veg affair that seriously appeals to the ex-pats.
It’s clean, air-conditioned, has good service and does good food in the PZ end of town; which makes it an ideal place to take the conservative eater/ visitor!
It is however a victim of its own success and is so popular with the well-heeled that the local beggars and hustlers loiter outside. You run-the-gauntlet of a half a dozen or so to get in or out, which puts some people off.

(5* because: consistently good food, clean, nice environment, ok service)

Best of the best!

This restaurant must be given an extra star, for cleanliness and good food. Sometimes the service is slow especially during lunch hours, but it's worth the wait! Visited it three times, and don't mind the commute from the west end of town to the centre. It's worth and I will be visiting it again and again and again!!

EXCELLENT FOOD

We visited Crown Bakery nearly every day during out visit to Sierra Leone. The food was excellent and all backed on the premises. You can eat anything there and know that you will not get a runny tummy as they say over there. It’s defiantly the place to go if you are visiting Freetown. I thought that the prices were very reasonable by British prices; if you’re a Sierra Leonean then it’s probably a place to visit on special occasions.

Good Variety

Crown has a good selection of dishes. Some are a bit pricey though but I guess this is due to Crown's status rather than anything else. Nice, clean, air conditioned environment. I suspect some people just go there to be seen. By international standards just a cafe with nice food. Expect just that and you won't be disappointed.

Crown Bakery, Freetown.

I have used this restaurant for over 8 years now.
When "in town", doing business, it is simply a MUST TRY, and I think they do the best lunches around.
