Lovely cobbled part of town. Brilliant service in English. Tasty pasta and risotto dishes ... the was lots of choice but my German is very limited. Fab trust tab system. About 10 tables inside plus another 5 or 6 outside across the tiny street. The football was also playing one night with about 6 people watching from the small bar. Relaxed atmosphere.

Classy cafe with good variety of drinks and food. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Located at historic Louisenviertel in Wuppertal Germany. Friendly service and cool clientele. Trendy music on certain days.

We really enjoyed our evening at Café du Congo. The food was freshly prepared and really delicious. The prices were a little bit higher but the quality was good. I ate the Beluga lentile salad with Scampi. The Cafe is a really cozy place.

Very nice food and really friendly people are working there :) We were there two times and we will be back!

Great service. Slightly limited foods and drinks but high quality and great taste. Prices are fine. No parking.

Nice, friendly atmosphere. Very diverse menu. Good wine. Would recommend the Congo Burger with aubergine & goat's cheese. And chanterelle mushrooms with potatoes on the side.

Small place, very comfortable atmosphere, good service and excellent food! Will be back for more!

Very friendly staff, top atmosphere and really good food
