It is a great journey of flavors that I recognized from my own country although I do not have African origins, it made me discover that the world is really very varied and also very similar no matter the distance. The ceviche starter, the steak and the rice pudding were my favorite dishes. The cocktail of whithe rhum and fruits was a trip to the beach that I was very grateful to have. We ordered the individual double menu and I was so full at the end that I regretted having bitten before going to the restaurant. Just beautiful tastes, made with love by a chef that comes to see you with a smile in his face.

Une belle alliance entre la gastronomie française et les saveurs africaines, mettant en avant des épices étonnantes ou chaque assiette représente une exploration culinaire. La carte est courte avec 3 entrées 3 plats et 3 desserts, mais chacun trouvera son bonheur même les végétariens. Une table qui vaut le détour et un Chef souriant qui passe faire un tour de salle en fin de service.
