Small house of yellow and red wood displaying on the menu dishes from the Ivory Coast and Reunion.
This small, yellow and red wooden house, with its unmistakable décor, shows its map of Ivorian and island dishes. A colourful place for a variety of flavours. This diversity allows you to put yourself in the mouth with samoussas or small black icing, before moving on a discovery plate before enchaîner on braisées gambas, or a wppt bou bou that does not déméritent. Those who want to stay in Bourbon mood will lay on a carry— chicken or fish— or a chicken massalé. We look forward to finding bananas on the map of serve, perfect for closing the meal. It is difficult to resist the soft call of arranged rum to accompany the meal. What a pleasure! Every Thursday it works with a buffet at will and open bar with a DJ… The house also proposes to eat its own dishes.

J’ai pris le poulet braisé, quelle grâce , quelle douceur.
Au surplus , la dame a l’accueil était très gentille. Belle découverte , je recommande très fortement !
For the rest, let’s start on the positive. The appetizers were excellent, just the right amount of spice. The main, a fish dish, was also very good, with lots of bold flavors. The dessert, chocolate cake with cocoanut ice cream, also very good. And the drinks? So excellent we each ordered two.
The up side with the service was they were very kind, happy to explain everything, and very patient when I made a mistake with my order and so had to change it.
As for the atmosphere, very comfortable, though not too fancy, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this place may not work for you.
Now for the not-so-great stuff. With the food, you should be warned that with the fish dishes at least, they bring you the whole fish, head, skin, and bones included. And while I could certainly scrape around the bigger bones and avoid the head, I was picking smaller ones out of my teeth the whole evening.
The dessert was fine, but nothing special as in you could get something similar just about anywhere. No specific spice or other intriguing touch.
Finally, I felt like the service was pretty slow. I had to ask for a menu more than once to get the additional drinks and dessert.
One final high note, though, as we were paying, the ladies offered us complimentary rum shots which were delicious!
If you’re looking for a solid date-night of tasty African cuisine, this is a great option.
