👍 I love the ambience and the staff were professional. Entire decor is chic. I love the concept of having a book library as part of the decor. Food was good. I recommend this place if you are looking a chic place to have an intimate meal and drinks. I'm sure to return.

    Really cool looking restaurant both outside and inside. Love the decor! Went for a dinner for two without a reservation and had no problem getting a table. Really nice staff and fast service. Starters were huge! For main course we had lobster and agnus steak and enjoyed them both. I would really much suggest paying a visit here and having a dinner for anyone passing in Abidjan. Just gorgeous place!

    My family and I went for Valentine's Saturday night dinner. The ambience was so chill and relaxing. The music was perfect. The staff was very friendly and even offered a colouring book and pencil for my daughter as entertainment! I can't stress how much the food was great. Overall, the experience was great in every way.

    (Translated by Google) The first attempt to enter it failed, we were clearly kicked out on the pretext that we had not booked. But stubborn as we are, we haven't been there yet this time the reservation was made in advance😉. So already at the entrance and in a somewhat courteous tone we tell you that photos are prohibited at the top because there are personalities who come lol! Why not say that the area is reserved for "personalities" so that the average citizen will not venture there ?! In short and it was like that in every corner impossible to make memories there, we may not have been lucky that day! As for the food it was acceptable and the place is beautiful with a clean, classy and chic style. But I do not intend to set foot there again. (Original) La première tentative pour y entrer a échouée,on nous a clairement chassé sous prétexte qu'on avait pas réservé. Mais têtu que nous sommes, on n'y est encore allé cette fois la réservation fut faite en avance😉. Alors déjà à l'entrée et sous un ton peu courtois on vous dit que les photos sont interdites en haut car il y a des personnalités qui viennent lol ! Pourquoi ne pas dire que le coin  est réservé qu'aux "personnalités" comme ça le citoyen lambda ne s'y aventura pas?! Bref et c'était comme ça dans chaque coins impossible de se faire des souvenirs là-bas,on a peut-être pas eu de chance ce jour là ! Quant à la nourriture c'était acceptable et l'endroit est beau avec un style épuré, classe et chic. Mais je ne compte pas y remettre les pieds.

    Had a birthday celebration of a friend there. The place is really nice, we were on the “terrace”(even if its open air there are AC all around) the cocktails were good, the food better and the staff was super friendly. They all sang their own version of happy birthday very joyfully, my friend even got up to dance. Really enjoyed our evening. On a note it was more on the expensive sidr, but well worth it.

    (Translated by Google) I loved the decoration, attentive service we ate very well. You just have to review your brunch formula, it is rather a menu with a choice between 2 starters, 3 main courses and 3 desserts. (Original) J'ai adoré la decoration, service au petit soin on a tres bien mangé. Il faut juste revoir votre formule brunch c'est plutot un menu avec un choix entre 2 entrées , 3plats et 3 dessert .

    Very stylish restaurant. Great to see and be seen. Really nice atmosphere and cocktails. Don’t go there for the food though which was underwhelming and lacked refinement. I had sand in my scallops and the portions were very small. Must see. Maybe just once. Update: the owner will reply, lecture you on seafood and put the blame on you 😂

  • 5/5 Ocheger B. 1 year ago on Google
    Although I don't like sweet and sour food usually, Parenthese Croustillant de Gambas and its mango chutney is a most have . In fact the food was wow. We had the Coquelet de Bresse with the truffle sauce and the Angus Parenthese burger and both were heaven on earth. We got too full so we shared the Chef's ice cream. This was a great mix of flavors from the Mediterranean. We will be back very often.

  • 3/5 Ange S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The entrance to the restaurant is illuminated. I loved it. Reception in accordance with current barrier measures. Passage by a magnificent staircase to have access to the restaurant. I was seated in a room reminiscent of a library and the view outside from my table was magnificent. Impeccable service, the server was very caring. An excellent ratatouille appetizer. I am not a fan of vegetables but it was very good. Nice entry into the subject, I said to myself ... But then, the cooking of my duck breast that I had requested was closer to blue à. Pity !! then a little return to the kitchen to make it less rare. This additional cooking will have affected the tenderness of my meat, which is more difficult to chew. The downside that will have made me come down from my cloud lol. So the kitchen being the main part of this trip, the 4 or 5 stars will have been missed ... (Original) L entree du restaurant est illuminee. J ai adorééé. Accueil dans le respect des mesures barrieres actuelles. Passage par un escalier magnifique pour avoir acces au restaurant. J ai ete installee dans une salle qui rappelait une bibliotheque et la vue sur l exterieur depuis ma table etait magnifique. Le service impeccable, le serveur etait à mes petits soins. Une ratatouille en amuse bouche excellente. Je ne suis pas une fana de legumes mais c etait tres bon. Belle entree en matiere me suis je dit... Mais petit bemol sur la suite, la cuisson de mon magret que j avais demandé à point se rapprochait plus du bleu 😔😔. Dommage !! alors petit retour en cuisine pour le rendre moins saignant. Cette cuisson supplementaire aura entamé la tendreté de ma viande, plus difficile à mâcher. Le bemol qui m aura fait redescendre de mon nuage lol. Alors la cuisine étant le principal de ce périple, les 4 ou 5 etoiles auront ete ratées de près...
