Good French and Togolese cuisine (on order). You can taste wood-fired pizzas, rabbit with mustard, fresh lobster "farm style" as well as various exotic dishes such as fufu, chicken dzenkoumé, pork gari, and vegetarian... Didier will know how to tickle your taste buds with his varied and generous dishes that he prepares in the kitchen, in a good mood. The room is friendly and plays good French music and jazz. It is also pleasant to settle down outside and have a drink, for an authentic moment.

The restaurant's menu features Togolese and African specialties: dzemkoumen, fufu in light sauce, akumen, grilled, fried or braised bicycle chicken, fish, alocco, not forgetting the local sodabi drink. Angèle, the on-site restaurateur, confides with a smile: at Le Gourmet, sodabi is also called FIR (force d'intervention rapide), in other words the local Viagra, prepared with roots, tree bark, leaves... We eat in the garden, under the straw hut. Classic European dishes are also served, along with a wine list.

This family bar-restaurant run by Jan, a friendly Belgian, and his Togolese wife, Hélène, is a well known address in Kpalimé. The setting is simple with a pleasant terrace and a restaurant made of Akata stone. Belgian beers and local wines are in the spotlight. One eats there pizzas, home-made fries, hamburgers, Flemish specialities such as the dumplings of Liege and even coq au vin! The preparations are a bit long, but excellent. This popular address is worth a visit, for its cuisine and its atmosphere.

Koffi and his sister Abra Noguessi took over the family restaurant when their father, Mr. Late, who was once known for his grilling and sense of humor, passed away. From barnyard to plate, the place has its own kitchen, where everyone is busy pounding chilies, crushing onions, with a few steaming pots in the heart of this open-air kitchen. On the menu, the chef suggests braised meats: chicken, guinea fowl, agouti, antelope, partridge... Then, a small sodabi, another specialty of the house, to facilitate digestion!

European and Togolese cuisine in a hotel school restaurant, as Macumba trains young apprentices for their future job as restaurateur. Fish, poultry and meat are cooked on the fire. We won't miss their famous fufu or their excellent fish and vegetable soup. The setting is pleasantly calm. A very good address for those who appreciate a generous cuisine. The service is sometimes nonchalant, but we will not hold it against you. Attached to the ABCN garage, this address is very well known and appreciated by the Togolese.

Fanny's restaurant is one of the very good addresses of Kpalimé. There are excellent French cuisine. The antelope civet is one of the specialties of the house. Mrs Fanny, a Togolese woman who lived for a long time in France, is at the helm of her kitchen and room, with a friendly team.

The restaurant of the Belair hotel is a good address. The large pink straw hut of the restaurant-bar is built in a nice wooded setting. The address is known by locals and visitors alike, who come to enjoy the setting and the good food. A Togolese and French menu with a service that can drag on, but which on arrival is also proof of a home cooking. Fostin Kissi, the owner of the place, has the ambition to make his restaurant autonomous, by developing his own breeding and his vegetable garden. An address with taste and heart.

On the side of the national road, coming from Agou, this restaurant can be a good stop for lunch. It is popular with locals for its varied selection of fast food, from shawarma and hamburger to paninis and hot dogs, all at low prices. You can also eat good hearty dishes, such as beef filet with green pepper or couscous. Also oven-baked pizzas. The large covered terrace is a nice place to sit, unless you prefer a cooler place. In that case, opt for the large air-conditioned room.

The best address in town. In this local colour restaurant-bar, also known as "Chez Tanti Séverine", you will see the fufu pounders working continuously so that the pots are never empty. You walk past the steaming pots, constantly fed, and heated by clay pots on the floor. You choose your meal concocted by Tanti Séverine and your drink before sitting down, outside or in a room half-opened on the von. You can then enjoy a generous and tasty cuisine in a warm atmosphere. To discover!

Antelopes, hyenas, jackals, agoutis, warthogs, varans and even pangolins, all can be eaten grilled on the barbecue or in a flavored soup. The maquis also offers good farm meats, such as bicycle chicken or guinea fowl. You can come and eat at any time of the day, in a 100% authentic atmosphere.
