I had a shrimp tomato starter which was good and afterwards a pizza napoli which was ok for a pizza but nothing compared to EU standard (I have eaten better pizzas in 2 other places in Benin). I had a dame blanche as dessert which was ok with fresh chocolate sauce but the amount of sauce was very little. At the end they counted an additional seafood pasta on the bill, luckily we checked the bill!

There is an outdoor terrace that reminds me of a beach bar and the fans are turning overhead so there is always a breeze. The menu is good and the food was above expectations. I had sea bass with curry sauce one afternoon and went back and had a pizza which was also very good.

Nice simple food, friendly staff and good service. Wayyy cheaper than the hotel and nice atmosphere. Mostly locals and expats chilling. Worth a visit. read more Nice simple food, friendly staff and good service. Wayyy cheaper than the hotel and nice atmosphere. Mostly locals and expats chilling. Worth a visit.
