Saakan has to be one of my favorite restaurants in Abidjan. The food is succulent. You can tell that the ingredients of each dish were curated to create tasty and well balanced plates. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy.

Well well. One kind of a restaurant in Abidjan. You MUST stop by if you ever visit the city. Their specialities are local food and it's quite excellent. The decor will amaze you. And trust me on this: you must try their cocktail " Ivorian kiss" and their braised beef tail and for dessert please don't leave without trying their baobab cream(heaven on your taste buds)

Décoré is the first thing makes you feel you are in a perfect hygienic place. I have attached here their Menu so you can decide before you want to in. Note that Their servings are generous and quality is great for the money you pay. Love the way their staff treat you with a lot of respect and humbleness. If you are a foodie; definitely you should give a try.

The food is delicious. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The place is beautifully decorated. My friends and I are from Haïti. We heard of a place using our djondjon (black mushroom) to achieve one of our traditional rice dishes. I almost cried at how delicious it tasted. Thank you to the staff and the crew playing beautiful music. I strongly recommend this place. Also the spicy sauce!! We all wanted to take it home!

(Translated by Google) Great setting. Quality meals. I recommand it (Original) Super cadre. Repas de qualité. Je le recommande

Great local flare, cocktails were well made and delicious with great selection, and sumptuous meal. I enjoyed this restaurant tremendously, and would recommend it. Dessert wad tasty and nicely done. The staff is friendly and amazing. Great location and ambiance too

Slightly overpriced fusion West African restaurant to bring your guests :) The food and drinks are decent, several creative juices, the oxtail was too salty, and the chocolate soup dessert was really disappointing. However, the fried yuca for starters were mindblowingly delicious! The venue is really nice, there is a live band playing marimba and kora, it’s covid friendly and well-managed, and there are even smaller spaces for those looking for a private, sealed-off dinner.

Legendary Ivory Coast restaurant with an amazing view of the city of Abidjan. You Must Try!

Nice place to be in Abidjan. I particularly liked those young people drumming and entertaining the guests. I had a great time here. After the meal, the officials in the restaurant came around to get our feedback about their services and what they can improve upon.

Good restaurant 🍴 with Ivorean food. Tasty and good service, a bit pricey.

Wow, wow, wow! An amazing evening all around. Visited with some colleagues on the last day of a conference to celebrate a colleague’s birthday and everything was amazing. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the MUSIC. It was an incredible evening!

OMG I am speechless, the drink, oxtail, fish, dessert. Everything was so good, perfectly cooked, tasty, good temperature and served on time. Saakan is fantastic you feel North American style and Africa experience in the dishes!

Great ambience. Absolutely awesome food. The cultural soft music in the background was superb but the highlight of the night was the waiter Yusuf... his service is top-notch

Great experience. Nice ambience. The complimentary fried cassava and fried fish sauce was very tasty. Their specialty Oxtail dish was very well cooked and marinated - the meat falls off the bones and tastes 👌🏾 I recommend.

Great place, loved the seafood and the live band...

(Translated by Google) Delicious African dish. The restaurant is on the first floor. It is not wheelchair accessible. (Original) Plat africain délicieux. Le restaurant est au premier étage. Il n'est pas accessible en fauteuil roulant.

The food was good. Good selection of wine and nice ambiance. I recommend this place for an intimate dinner or a night of celebration with a group.

Loved chocolate cocktail! You can experience traditional marimba music and good traditional food. A bit overpriced but the overall quality is good.

If only the beef rib wasn’t so disappointing. Maybe we came on a bad day. But for a birthday dinner where all ten people order the same thing, we all expected the food to at least be hot. Anyways, servers were cool, ambiance was a vibe given the live music. The mocktials being 10.000 CAF wasn’t cool for what it was. However, despite all this I’ll give this spot another try one day.

Quality cuisine, friendly and helpful staff, pleasant spot with super stylish decor. Little atmosphere however (neither auditory signature nor olfactory signature)

Top food and top welcome

The neighborhood is safe and especially quiet in the evenings. The setting is simple and spacious. Ideal for spending time with friends. The food is good and the service is good.

Oh wow, what a pleasant surprise in Abijan! I had the steak and my colleague the oxtail. The oxtail was whole and perfectly cooked as well as my steak. It was a very pleasant meal and worth walking to. When we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant and therefore the service was quick, friendly and efficient. By the time we left half of the tables were full and some live musicians were playing in the background. Really nice!

(Translated by Google) From the welcome to the post office to the dessert, including the service, the presentation and the taste of the dishes, everything was perfect! I was not disappointed with my friends' recommendations and highly recommend Saakan! To do and redo 😁 (Original) De l'accueil à la poste jusqu'au dessert, en passant par le service , la présentation et le goût des plats, tout a été parfait !

Very nice restaurant, good food and fair price

Probably the nest kept not secret in Abidjan. Real food.I had the Queue de Boeuf Braisee. Absolutely somptuous

(Translated by Google) Restaurant le Saakan visited this Friday, August 28, 2020. Super chic, nice staff. The HIC, the menu specially "Braised oxtail" see the photo with the explanatory text concerning the menu (photo 1). So I choose the famous "oxtail" and I expect to treat myself with Fondante potato cimme its name suggests and one of its mushroom STEWS ... yummm The meal arrives (photo 2) ..... The big DECEPTIONNNNN. Where's the mushroom stew? 🤔🤔 2 common grilled mushrooms. The fondant potato = 3 large strips of potatoes that have been fried. Conclusion: the advertising for the menu is LIE. The card is stuffed with fireworks just to attract the customer. (Original) Restaurant le Saakan visité ce vendredi 28 aout 2020. Super chic, personnel sympa. Le HIC, le menu spécialement " Queue de boeuf braisé" voir la photo avec le texte explicative concernant le menu (photo 1).

La grosse DECEPTIONNNNN. Ou est le ragoût de champignons?🤔🤔 2 vulgaires champignons grillés. La pomme de tere fondante= 3 grosses lamelles de pommes de terres qui ont été frit. Conclusion: la publicité quant au menu est MENSONGÈRE. La carte est bourrée d'artifice juste pour attirer le client.😣😣

Nice and cosy place for Good food and friendly staff

Popular with the locals, I enjoyed the idea of contemporary Ivorian cuisine more than I did the food Service was good. I dined alone and didn't have to wait long for food or drink. The starters were nice but not extraordinary - fried plantain, cassava chips My seafood main sported fresh fish, cooked well, tasty but I missed a spark Overall, pleasant

Top excellent food&service

Rare mix of local food and elegant design. Perfect for a romantic night or for a business dinner with foreigner. Their offer of African food is creative. The service could be improved but I still like this place.

Great location in plateau. Parking not too good. Food is great local food. Beautiful luxurious African decor. Cost of food is high but an enjoyable meal. Great place to introduce friends or business partners to African and local dishes

Nice décoration, some niveau meals on the menu but they should improve the lunch service quitte slow and not gully on point. The sweet potato soup is a die for

The food was really good. I strongly recommend their pork ribs. They have staff who speak in english. They were kind enough to switch off some of the a/c units in our section of the restaurant because it was too cold. Its a bit pricey but totally worth it. I would definitely go back.
