About Vault Restaurant
Caribbean Influences in Bonamoussadi
Vault Restaurant is in Bonamoussadi, Douala, on the sixth floor of the building at Rond Point Maetur. The current non-www official site calls the building REIGN, while the www version uses St. Louis Building. Both identify the same floor and neighbourhood, so the roundabout and restaurant name are important arrival references.
The restaurant's own story says it was founded by Cameroonians in the diaspora. Its concept connects Caribbean cooking with Cameroonian culture, with food and cocktails forming part of the same outing. The sixth-floor position provides rooftop views across the city.
Food and Cocktails
Vault's official story names its house salad and pancakes among the food examples and describes Caribbean-rooted cocktails. The published service structure distinguishes weekday breakfast from lunch and dinner, with brunch at weekends. That gives diners different reasons to visit, but a current menu should be requested before planning around a particular preparation.
The restaurant presents itself as a dining room with a cocktail component rather than simply a nightclub. Visitors arranging an event should ask specifically about restaurant tables and any separate entertainment spaces in the building.
Policies Worth Checking Before Booking
Vault's published FAQ describes a cashless operation using cards or mobile money. It also specifies business-casual attire and lists clothing restrictions. The same policy page states that guests under sixteen are not permitted after the afternoon cutoff, making direct confirmation important for family plans.
Allergy guidance asks guests to notify the host and server and cautions that cross-contamination cannot always be excluded. This is not a promise of an allergen-free kitchen. Because the www and non-www sites differ in contact details and service information, confirm the current entrance, reservation terms and accepted payment method with the restaurant before travelling.
World Culinary Awards recognition
Vault Restaurant is the 2026 winner in Cameroon's Best Restaurant 2026. These category awards are distinct from Michelin stars or an inspection-based numerical restaurant score.
The published voting rules distinguish public voters from verified industry voters, whose votes carry twice the weight. The award identifies a category winner rather than supplying a tasting score for every restaurant.
