OK as a whole, setting original (terrace of a villa) in the trendy / Zone du bois residential are and personnel kind. Specialty is pizza (like more than have a dozen restaurants in Ouagadougou) but might be wise to avoid busy hours in the evening especially towards the end of the week. Since take aways (or take outs) is their core business, be prepared to be VERY patient when deliveries are being looked after while you just ordered...Took us a long time (ran out of pasta) last time I went!

Small restaurant with only 10 or so tables, only does dinner, has a weekly set menu, 2 starters, 3 mains and 2 deserts. Serves delicious African inspired fusion food, with good prices and excellent service. This is not the place however to invite non-adventurous eaters, who may want their roasted chicken or fish soup. The chefs/owners are happy to adapt the dishes on the menu to serve allergies or other food avoidance.I will definitely come to eat here again.

Visited for the first time, ambiance intimate though in a large garden, menu too frustrating (can't eat it all in one sitting), full of tempting choices. Variety of cocktails and drinks, both with alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices. Prompt cheerful service inside, helpful parker outside. Shared my main since it was too rich to each alone, though the sweet vinaigrette dressing on the salad around the baked crumbed camembert that flowed onto the wonderful bread was a good light tone. Strawberry tart also with hint of mint was delicious and appreciated the parting hot drink.

The foods tastes great, for example an onion gratin and a chateaubriand. The price is not so expensive compared with the pther restaurant.

Just opposite the main market you have to walk the gauntlet of endless street peddlers to get to the restaurant.Once inside it is calm and clean. The nuns are polite and helpful, however they are not especially fast and orders and requests can be easily waylaid. Prices are very low and as a consequence the quality of the ingredients suffers. The local dishes are well done and good value (the to, the butterfly chicken...) but the more European dishes are not as well done.

This restaurant is very similar to the nearby Gondwana, having mostly outdoor seating, low tables and decoration around the garden. The atmosphere isn't quite as nice because the Lodge doesn't have a band and the decoration is more simple. However the quality of the menu, the food and the service are much, much better. The menu is French but uses local ingredients in interesting ways and the dishes were really delicious. We had the maple pork and coconut chicken and basically licked the plates clean. Also the food came quite quickly.

I've been here a few times with groups of colleagues. It's a terrific place for a festive group dinner, whether indoors or in the garden. I'd classify the food as good, not extraordinary, but more than balanced by having a really nice, relaxed evening with good service and a varied menu for all to enjoy.

Although located in a pretty sketchy area of Ouagadougou this is a nice restaurant with good service and Castel beer ON TAP! The security as you go in is thorough but inside the staff were very friendly and the food came quickly (a rarity in these parts).Ordered the Forestiere pizza which was excellent. The base was thin but crispy and there was a good range of toppings on top. With the draught beer it went down very well! The place was relatively busy despite being a Sunday night and so the atmosphere was good. If I was in Ouagadougou again and wanted something European, I would return.

Already experienced on several occurrences in 2010-2011; Quite expensive but really way above average in terms of service, food, atmosphere, in a nutshell: professionalism! One downer, as it the place to ben being very posh and all, the restaurant is often crowded and noisy inside (nice set of tables outside but often warm and swarmed by mosquitoes), especially if there are locals or Lebanese businessmen who enjoy showing off.
