    Off the beaten path, but some of the most incredible food I've had in France. Mixing French cuisine with food from Côte d'Ivoire, the chef has created some incredible dishes that are delicious with every bite. While the price is a little more than I'd expect, the formule of 35€ for an appetizer, plate, and dessert were well worth it. As usual in France, the service was impeccable and I cannot wait to dine here once again.

    Great restaurant I found! C’était belle découverte! La jolie salle, le service très sympathique et enfin c’était délicieux pour tous. Formule du midi est très accessible, et quantité suffisant. Très bon marché. Je reviendrai pour le midi et aussi je veux bien essayer le soir! I recommend this small cute restaurant. Everything was delicious. I’ll come back for sure for lunch and dinner.

    Un délice, quelle découverte ! Cela faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas mangé dans un restaurant cuisinant vraiment tout, avec tant de saveurs. J'ai voyagé à travers les plats, tant à travers les ingrédients d'ailleurs, qu' avec mélanges d'épices et de saveurs qui ont du caractère, les gouts sont étonnants, équilibrés, complémentaires. Ça vaut le coup d aller découvrir cette cuisine de cote d'ivoire !

    Très belle recommandation. Oubliez les aprioris sur la cuisine ivoirienne. Un dîner savoureux, original, épicé, maîtrisé et au prix juste. Un établissement a découvrir en priorité sur la ville de Tours.

    I read all the wonderful reviews and looked forward to French/Ivorian food. I decided on the lunch dish of the day. A bit disappointed it was a burger, not something French or Ivorian, but decided to have it and the dessert which was listed as citron pithivier. The burger looked nice and came with lovely fries, but was so undercooked in the middle, it was like eating beef tartar. The pithivier was a dense sponge cake with a few bits of lemon on top. Very disappointing.

    I don't remember when (Akan) was last in this little street called Rue Richelieu, but that's where Akan is! A little removed from the hustle and bustle of the hyper-center, we find a cozy, cozy interior, the decoration is in good taste, the welcome is friendly. Then begins the hostilities with the cocktail of the moment, what could be more original than mixing watermelon syrup with pastis (among other ingredients) and it is very successful! The time comes for the starters, which were also very successful. For my part, I took the crunchy one and the ice cream brings a lot of freshness. Then the dish I had the pork in the original service (you have to enjoy eating in a paper package but it must be a nod to Ivorian street food) accompanied by yam fries (so I didn't know and I I didn't find any interest in these fries, they are desperately dry, maybe make them thinner for more crispiness or make a puree.) For dessert I had the Ivorian, a very successful chocolate and coffee dessert. , the tiles bring a real plus! A very nice discovery, Akan, thank you again!

    Exceptional! From the welcome to the food, everything was perfect. The decor is sober and refined. The map is simple but promises great discoveries. In short, a magnificent gastronomic journey with beautiful products and very well orchestrated food/wine pairings. Thank you for this great discovery 😍 PS: no photo of the dessert... Sorry, it was gobbled up at the speed of light 😁

    Flawless! From aperitif to dessert and service, it's a pure success. The balance of flavors is just crazy. Starter, main course, dessert: 37 euros Only one desire when leaving, to come back. I recommend +++

    (Translated by Google) A delicious taste journey where the beauty of the dishes underlines the flavors, just, surprising, perfectly combined. The attentive service and the sober decoration, but warm and elegant, complete the picture of this magnificent Ivorian experience. To recommend without hesitation! (Original) Un délicieux voyage gustatif où la beauté des plats vient en souligner les saveurs, justes, surprenantes, parfaitement associées.

    (Translated by Google) While in Vineuil, we immediately thought of Akan to satisfy our desire for original flavors. As in previous times, we were not disappointed. This restaurant deserves so much to be recognized. In any case, we were well received and we enjoyed the prawns with the Ivorian eggplant tapenade, the braised fish, the gently spiced ginger juice, the juicy pork cheek ... Yum To finish , after the mango dessert, a little lemongrass tea greatly appreciated We will come back for new and equally tasty associations! See you soon (Original) De passage à Vineuil, on a tout de suite pensé à l'Akan pour combler notre envie de saveurs originales.Comme pour les fois précédentes, on n'a pas été déçus.Ce restaurant mérite tellement d'être davantage reconnu. En tout cas, nous avons été bien accueillis et nous avons bien dégusté les crevettes avec la tapenade d'aubergine à l'ivoirienne, le poisson braisé, le jus de gingembre tout doucement épicé, la juteuse joue de porc... Miam Pour finir, après le dessert à la mangue, une petite tisane citronnelle grandement appréciée Nous y reviendrons pour de nouvelles associations tout aussi savoureuses ! A bientôt

  • 5/5 Jean-Marc L. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A perfect balance between Ivorian and European cuisines. Between the tamarind sauce that accompanies the Touraine pork, the reduction of white hibiscus flowers and its langoustines, the exquisite baobab fruit and the cooked mangoes, let the chef transport you on a refined taste journey. The welcome and the service are discreet and professional. Excellent advice for the choice of wines. A great address to discover without delay. (Original) Un parfait équilibre entre les cuisines ivoirienne et européenne. Entre la sauce au tamarin qui accompagne le cochon tourangeau, la réduction de fleurs d'hibiscus blanc et ses langoustines, l'exquis fruit du baobab et les mangues cuites, laissez vous transporter par le chef dans un voyage gustatif raffiné. L'accueil et le service sont discrets et professionnels. Excellents conseils pour le choix des vins. Une belle adresse à découvrir sans tarder.

    Très agréable moment passé avec ma compagne dans ce restaurant. De très bons produits préparés par le chef seul en cuisine, un cadre qui nous fait voyager par sa décoration et un serveur vraiment sympathique qui explique chaque plat et répondant aux différentes questions de ses clients. Un grand merci pour ce moment.

    Food: The food was unlike anything else I've eaten in France. My meal began with flavourful grilled langoustine in a delicate beet puree that was almost like a passata. This was followed by an entire grilled fish. The fish had a delicious char but was moist on the inside. For dessert I had a citrus cake that included a grilled clementine orange, which was a refreshing way to end the meal. Value: At 44 Euro for an excellent three course meal (I paid 8 euro extra because I ordered the entire fish), this meal was of very good value. Service: The service was excellent. Each dish was explained thoroughly and served at exactly the right time. Location: The restaurant is located just outside of old Tours and is easily accessible from the main road.

    Good morning, My friend and I had a great time. The cuisine is tasty with careful presentation of the dishes. The only downside would be in terms of quantity, especially in terms of accompaniments. Thank you Ivory Coast for bringing us so many beautiful original flavors.
