    The best Maquis in Abidjan. Fish is fresh and well grilled. Chicken is just delicious.

    Attention at this place is minimal. Despite the fact that there are lots of employees, for the food to come out, it took ages. We had been waiting for over an hour for streetfood and asked several times. Not a good place.

    It is not your creme de la creme chick eatery but it is certainly the place to be if you are in Abidjan the first time . The food, the camaraderie,the service is just locally great.

  • 4/5 allou i. 5 years ago on Google • 9 reviews
    A bit pricier than other spot in Abidjan. But nothing to dramatic (starting at 5.000 cfa) . A bit of wait also . But food & service is great . Highly Recommand .

  • 1/5 hussein g. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to wait over an hour for the food then they make me wait for another 20mins for the side dishes because they didn’t « get the order ». I come home and the bags leak all over the floor. Never again.

  • 4/5 Fatimata D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The serving time was correct, the fish very good (cooking to perfection) but the chicken left us hungry. There were no snails (although that was one of the reasons for our passage😭). The staff were friendly (telephone reception, drink service, meal service). (Original) La durée de service était correct, le poisson très bon (cuisson à point) mais le poulet nous a laissé sur notre faim. Il n'y avait pas d'escargots (alors que c'était l'une des raisons de notre passage😭). Le personnel était sympathique (accueil téléphonique, service boissons, service repas).

    Regular African joint but with fast service. I didn't enjoy it because we were served fish that had gone bad.

  • 3/5 Brian K. 5 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The food was ready in time but simple packing to take away took over 30minutes!! Probably because of the numerous online orders.

  • 4/5 Salim S. 3 years ago on Google
    Reliable place for well prepared braised fish (mostly carp and sole) and chicken. Arielle, plantain and fries are also available and it's cheap. Well cooked, and they don't take too long to serve because there's always something on the grill, they don't wait for orders.

    (Translated by Google) A big mess and less and less respect for hygienic conditions. Dining tables, filled tissue bins, barely washed and wiped trays are placed on alloco and attiéké dishes, served, 1h30 to fulfill an order ... (Original) Un gros désordre et de moins en moins de respect des conditions d'hygiène. Tables salles, poubelles à mouchoirs remplies, on pose des plateaux à peine lavés et essuyés sur des plats d'alloco et d'attiéké, servis, 1h30 pour honorer une commande...
