Something of a N'Gaoundéré institution, this place has live music nightly and cold draught beer from the thatched bar. The Lebanese and pasta dishes are excellent, but don't miss the perennially popular Sunday buffet from noon (CFA6000). It's a little tricky to find as it's not on the street itself, but in a courtyard. Look for Ecobank and go through the gates to one side.
