Best African restaurants nearby. Discover the best African food in Cotonou. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for African restaurants near you.. Home to many diplomatic services and the largest population in the country, Cotonou is the de facto capital of Benin, although not the official one. Its location at the crossroads between numerous neighboring countries makes it a commercial hub, instrumental in opening trade to the African interior. From Cotonou travelers may depart for tours of the outlying regions. The nearby stilted village of Ganvie is a short day trip from the bustle of Boulevard St. Michel and the Dan Topka market.

We had a team dinner here on the weekend, and the cocktail and buffet dinner were on the back terrace with a lovely view of the lagoon. Food was diverse--- local favorites of Benin and European menu---and decent quality.

I am married to a beninese lady and I have been going to cotonou from london for a long time. Been to DB few times before. It gets worse instead of getting better. Like this:a) at the door few receptionists talk between themselves and hardly say good morningb) there is a hand sanitiser dispenser that dispenses nothing, being empty. we went twice in 4 days. still emptyc) the pool's water wasn't blue. it was green. thinking of swimming there or having kids swimming there it takes gutsd) the beach side is ok. service is almost non existant, in tipycal beninese style. if you venture into any restaurant you do it at your peril. clients are seen as a nuisance and service will portray such a behavioure) finally having drawn the waiter's attention a guy comes to us with two menus. we ask for one thing on it. they dont have. a second. dont have. a third. nada. we ask for coffee. not sure they have it either. we tell him, in french and fon to maybe ask the kitchen WHAT they do have so to avoid having to go through the whole menu. yes he says, i will come back. after 10' another young waitress cones our merry way. can i take your order she says??in the end we went for a coffee, found, and two portions of french fries. fries were served with no ketchup!! cause they dont have ketchup!we decided to let go and let god.we then paid, a lot for such a horrible establishment, and left.by then the pool wasn't green any more but some sort of maroon, with kids in it. oblivious to the impending death soon to hit them.and this is one of the top spots in cotonu. i leave to your imagination the rest.SYAY AWAY. mr talon, the new president wants to revamp benin's tourist industry.ahahahaha sure. good luck!Hello sir,First of all, we would like to extend to you and your family our best wishes for the year 2017.On behalf of all the management of Dream Beach, I thank you for taking the trouble to draw our attention to this unfortunate experience.We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we would like to assure you that we take the well-being and satisfaction of each of our customers to heart.

I went to this restaurant several times to have dinner. The food has been always very good especially their fish. The service is good, but the location is not nice as it is located very close to the port in a dark area so make sure you go there by car
