Littoral Department, Benin Food Guide: 6 Seafood food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Cotonou
Reviews on Seafood food in Cotonou, Littoral Department, Benin. 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.

The seafood can be good here, but often it is not. I have often taken the mixed seafood dish and there's a lot of variation in quality. A few times it was well prepared, but I have had negative experiences as well.Although the guys run in the restaurant, the service can be slow. Still, eating a fish right on the beach and relaxing with a beer in the uncomfortable chairs is not bad!

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.

Relaxing place with delicious food. Recently we found an easy way to get there.DIRECTIONS FROM COTONOU:When you get to Benin Atlantic Beach Hôtel, carry on straight until you reach the newly constructed road by the beach. Although the road is still under construction, it is possible to use it. Turn right onto the beach road and youâll see La cabane du pecheur on your left, about 100 metres away.
