A very serene environment, with more to relax and feel at home They has continental dishes and local and Nigeria dishes that makes tourist and host communities like to visit and have a taste of their varieties
One of my favorite spots in Cotonou. The food is as excellent as it is prompt and the staff is attentive and mindful. The live music never fails to impress. The atmosphere is hip and intimate.
Superb pub for an evening drink or date. A compact, cozy space, yet creatively planned and designed. Includes a storied, roofless, dim-lit seating space, and a small play corner for kids. Serves very good finger foods, pastries, and others. Also offers great soulful live folk music every Sunday evening.
Nice place, excellent live band, Nice food. Good mood....
This is a nice and really "Le Lieu Unique" place to be and eat. And with the nice upstairs area, open from three sides, it is also airy and thus nice to sit on a warmer evening. Well designed and maintained and clean. Staff is very friendly and kind. They helped me out with selecting my béninois dish (travelled quite a bit in Africa, but I learned about Benin for the first time this year). The dish was delicious: mutton in sauce arachide and fufu. But they have also a big choice of other kind of dishes: for every ones taste is something to find! They have life music in the weekend too! At the same place they have a stylish bakery (bake their own bread, pastries, Baguettes, also for the restaurant). There I took my breakfast the next morning, cool place to be. Similar concept of African contemporary style I would say. Nice pastry and bread, all displayed in an attractive way. Again nice staff, good coffee and I had a nice croissant and pain au chocolat ! Certainly, in the same street there are a few other places to eat, but they tend a bit more towards bars, or are the local maquis, all good I presume. But while this place has music, you can still really relax and have a conversation: "The Unique Place" to be in this part of town!
