Another TikTok discovery led me to Waly Fay, and I'm glad it did. I was craving something bold and…read moreflavorful, and this spot delivered. The cuisine is West African with Caribbean influences, and it's located in the 10th arrondissement. The restaurant has a lively, energetic atmosphere. While I wouldn't describe the staff as particularly warm, it's clearly a very busy place. One server seemed to be handling my entire section--he seated me, took my order, and kept things moving. I started with the cod fish fritters, which were delicious, especially paired with the sauce they were served with. For my main course, I ordered the Daurade royale entière marinée (braised whole fish), accompanied by fragrant rice, and added a side of plantains. It was exactly what I was looking for--well-seasoned and satisfying. Food was delivered by bussers who barely paused long enough to be thanked, but again, that seems to come with the territory of such a high-volume restaurant. If you're in Paris and want something beyond traditional French fare, Waly Fay is definitely worth a visit.
