6. Le Royal Restaurant
Reviewed By valentinooooo
Execellent Restaurant, the food is pure perfection. The specialty is Lebanese but they also do various types of dishes including french and italian cusine. The owner and his wife are the chefs and their food is very clean. To sum it up the restaurant can be presented as the tastiest Lebanese Restaurant in the country.

Location is rather small, next to Rond-Point des chasseurs. Better for delivery. Quick service to Niarela and Cité du Niger districts. Thin crust pizzas. Offers Norwegian pizza with salmon, Hawaiian, and other options as calzones.Very affordable.

We visit the Palermo because of a tripadvisor review and truly enjoyed it. The restaurant is very secure with great views. The service is very good with friendly staff. The pizza is good quality especially for Bamako. Just one tip ask for extra cheese.

I am a regular customer at Savana. I discovered it 3 years ago, upon a friend's invitation and loved it.Menu is varied, good bar, ambience is chilled out, good background music and the open air space is cosy. Service is dedicated and owners are friendly and present to welcome guests. Security is at high standard level and increased with adequate technical measures following the terrorist atracks in Bamako.As you take your seat, you get some snacks like marinated spicy crudités (this on w/e only) or/and pop corns. Food is very good quality, cooked adequately, prepared with fresh ingredients, taste and well presented. If you are a fish lover like me, you won't go wrong on capitaine'skewers (brochettes de capitaine) and capitaine carpaccio, marinated in olive oil and lemon, served with black olives, capers and sliced tomato (always very fresh). Side dishes are also good and I appreciate the garlic sauté green beans.Pizzas are some of the best in town.Live music plays on Thur and Sat, starting around 10ish pm, if I'm not wrong (you may call to verify this). Overall I always have a very pleasant experience when I eat at Savana, either with friends or solo.Savana also offers take away service and they deliver home - which is a very good option if you can't go, don't feel like cooking, but still fancy a delicious meal home :) Within my fave restaurants in town, Savana is definitely in my top 2.Buon appetito!

Mali is swarming with "intervention forces" from the United Nations and France, trying to build peace in rural areas that have been destabilised by jihadist uprisings over the past 6-7 years. So Thierry's homage to the exploits of the foreign legion seems a bit out of place. There's a large mural showing a battle in the Sahara... Which can be ignored for those who prefer to concentrate on the very good food. Returning to the region after a long absence I chose a dish with capitaine, a West African fish. It was just right! The company was good and the service was attentive, so I put the military dimension on hold and had a pleasant couple of hours!Thank you for your encouragement Sir Our restaurant is unpretentious, and we always try to do our best to satisfy youFor your information the fresco that you noticed does not happen in the desert but in Mexico in Camerone on April 30, 1863 during the expedition of Mexico.This is the representation of the epic combat of the foreign legion where Danish people also gave their lives. The date of this fight is the celebration of the sacrifice of the ancestors, an example for the young and especially the celebration date of the foreign legion. As you can see now, nothing shocking!
