An ambitious yet homely Ivorian spot where the community gathers for football and Solibra beer, serving phenomenal wood-fired meats and rich stews that outperform typical neighbourhood dining.
Ordering Strategy
Service can be relaxed, so order a mix of homemade Bissap and Ginger juice while you wait. The portions are huge—especially the soups and grilled fish—so share family-style.
What to order
Deep-fried Tilapia Combo
The crowd favourite: crispy fish served with ripe fried alloco (plantain) and attiéké (cassava couscous).
Choukouya
Wood-smoked, on-the-bone lamb where the smoke permeates everything from the fat cap to the marrow.
Soupe du Pêcheur
Described by critics as a 'Satanic bouillabaisse'—a massive, spicy stew of prawn head, crab, and chilli served in an earthenware grinder.
