The best restaurants Mali

Very good kitchen and especially very good welcome by Denys, the boss. Inspired cuisine: Basil soup, cold soup of tomato, aubergines with cheeses… Not forgetting the country's specialities (skewers, captain…). The wait is a bit long.

One of the best restaurants in the city. Under shady barns, the hotel restaurant offers an excellent kitchen (beef skewers, pizza, nems, captain, yassa chicken, leg…), from 2 500 FCFA. Attentive welcome.

This small boui-boui serves typical dishes: rice in fat, rice in sauce, stew, fries… at a low price, 300 FCFA in general. The owner is very welcoming.

This very good restaurant - formerly the Gulf - is not expensive at all. Count about 3 000 FCFA for a dish with topping (roast chicken, captain, meat…).

A small ndaxté held by a Senegalese, Khady Sacko. Yassa chicken, wppt amassed dieune or captain, rice in fat… dishes are typical. It is better to call before to be served quickly.

This restaurant is a very pleasant place to eat or drink a drink, thanks to its beautiful garden. We eat African dishes, which vary depending on the market (vegetables and fruit of season), in a large garden yard under a boats. African, European and vegetarian dishes. Le Petit Smart particularly appreciated the smoked captain served with toast toast and some noix.

This little ndaxté kept by Papa Niang is very suitable. The dishes are well prepared and generous. Skewers-fries, captain in season… nothing very original but it's very good. Papa prepares delicious natural mango jam.

The room is small, but the atmosphere is good (especially in the evening). The reception is nice, the kitchen and the service are good. It is also the city's busiest bar. Very nice to come and enjoy a drink in the evening!

This restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best in the whole of Mopti. Held by a young French and a renowned Dogon guide, it is an inescapable stop, both by its cuisine inspired and by its careful framework, of Sudanese architecture. From the tropical garden on the terrace overlooking the river, through the ethno bar (concerts every weekend), nothing is left at random. The lighting is even designed from salt plates! On the side of the dishes, there are for all tastes: Boeuf beef sauce, sweet potato sauce sauce "saga saga", Andalusian gaspacho or pizza pizza and even milkshakes… It's cool, it's good, it's changing. A very good address.

Pigeons, captains, typical specialities, everything is concocted by his wife, the "Black Pearl". This nickname, which was very good for him, was given to him during his visit to the Hilton Hotel in Tel Aviv, where she practiced her culinary talents for five years. In addition to the boats, the establishment has a small, more intimate lounge, decorated in a pretty way: A bamboo bar, gourds on the walls, the bark of babi and guéni that fill the room… And since recently the Black Pearl is also a hotel establishment. A real good address!

Ideal if you want to eat on the thumb and change your jam-butter. Grape breads, with peanut paste, are very good.

Seeing the display of the Petit Restaurant, it is said that it must be one of the good old gargotes, as there are hundreds in Mali. However, this address is worth displacement for two reasons. Firstly, prices charged are at the cost limit: all the dishes are 500 FCFA (spaghetti, rice, dish of lentils…). To believe that making turnover is the youngest of the owner's concerns. And then, and then there's Omar, the manager. This Algerian is a real living encyclopedia. Le Petit Smart is still not recovering from the riddles he asked him during dinner. But you will not be told any more.

You will find croissants, meat blocks and fresh drinks. The traditional restaurant is very good. Breakfast is excellent.

On weekends, a méchoui is served under the nomadic tent. There is also a need for natural fruit juices, made with the fruits of the garden.

Located on the motorway that goes to the tower of Africa. Turn right at the penultimate light before the turn of Africa. Continue straight on 50 m, the restaurant is on the left. In the opinion of everyone, we are eating the best skewers in the country! The reception is very warm. The lighting, discreet, is suitable for dinners in lovers. A very good address!

A very lively ndaxté at lunch time. There are mainly African specialities from May, ranging from rice sauce to vegetable couscous. Very typical.
