    Good local standard with a well-ventilated terrace overlooking the lagoon. To eat, you have the choice between local and international. The house also has a shop with quality food products.

    Quite simply the best authentic African restaurant my wife and I experienced in 2 months in Benin. Run by Marianne and Akwung, there is a wide selection of dishes to choose from, all of them delicious and healthy using natural produce. They have obviously put lots of love into the restaurant and downstairs there is a shop selling African natural products. If you are tired of the western style food at hotels and not sure where to go for authentic African cuisine, this is the place!

    (Translated by Google) African Foodseum is a mini-market Bar Restaurant complex, specializing in local food products. It is located in Porto-Novo, on the Boulevard de la Lagune, a few steps from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Armées (ENSA), leaving the roundabout located at the descent of the bridge towards the Boulevard Djassin. It is open 7 days a week and serves customers organic African dishes, especially from Benin, prepared in the traditional way to preserve all their nutritional value in the ingredients. The mini-market serves popular local culinary products. (Original) African Foodseum est un complexe Bar Restaurant mini-marché, spécialisé dans les produits alimentaires locaux.

    (Translated by Google) After the slow service on the spot, on order or to take away, we don't even know if the food is good. I don't put a star on principle, but the service is horribly slow. Luckily they are polite. (Original) Après la lenteur du service sur place, sur commande ou à emporter, on ne sait même plus si la nourriture est bonne. Je ne mets pas une étoile par principe, mais le service est horriblement lent. Heureusement qu'ils sont polis.

    Accueil chaleureux Cuisine de qualité Le bruit des véhicules gâche un peu l'ambiance si c'est un superbe endroit

  • 4/5 Octave l. 1 year ago on Google
    Nous avons pris deux plats en sauce très bons, aux influences asiatiques étaient de plus servies dans un cadre agréable, sur un toit offrant une belle vue sur les marais. Le service également efficace concourrait lui aussi à cette belle expérience.

    I have eaten at AfricanFoodseum multiple times and can confirm it is the best choice in Porto-Novo for homestyle cooking, away from home: - Large selection of beninese and western meals and drinks, elegantly served in traditional tableware - Large portions at an affordable price - Balcony overlooking the Porto-Novo lagoon - Marianne the owner and manager is extremely welcoming and engaging
