The best restaurants in Ivory Coast Abidjan Region

Fusion and high gastronomy are the key words of the Saakan concept (name of the village of Frank Anet, who runs the restaurant with his wife Christelle). The decor is akan africanized, with the soft sound of the balafon live. The fusion cuisine is very inspired: seafood salad, yam and grouper-mango gnocchi, yam-tuna mille-feuille, beef n'damla, mushroom stew and spicy chocolate sauce, baobab cream (it's péché !), braised oxtail and braised duck with sweet potato purée are revisited. As a bonus, delicious cocktails

A well-hidden piece of the world that deserves itself. Vast wooded enclosure bordered by water and open to the gentle lagoon winds, La Mangrove scatters chairs and tables on a sandy ground planted with coconut trees, and offers the traditional panoply of Ivorian specialties from land and sea: chicken, guinea fowl, bush meat, fish, snail, soups, braised, rice, alloco, chips, yams ... and even yassa. A place that is worth the detour if only for its setting, happy to escape the city frenzy. Disorienting and regenerating. Playground for children. Wifi.

The All-Abidjan frequents the "beach" of this scrubland: faroteurs, champagnards, starlets, diplomats, humanitarians, old bushmen. And the beautiful people: Macky Sall, Pelé, Stromae.... However, there is no VIP area: they are all housed in the same place, with their feet in the sand. We come here to taste "the best kebabs of Abidjan", beef, grouper, snail, fish or chicken braised with attiéké, yam or allocos fries, in generous portions. The wait may be excessive, but Ambroise may offer you the koutoukou or the bandaged wood as a digestive.
