A stone's throw from Les Halles, this bustling bistro offers up a variety of West African staples: from the Cameroonian ndole (a saute of meat, greens, and veggies) to Senegalese yassa (meat braised in onion and lemon) to Malian mafe (meat and veggies in a peanut street), you won't go wrong. I stepped in during their happy hour and nabbed a half-priced tapa (aloko d'Ivoirienne: pieces of fried and caramelized banana...tasting like a sweeter version of maduros), a discounted local Gallian lager, and a plate of thieboudienne (a Senegalese dish of fish, tomato, cabbage, and other veggies over rice). The food was fantastic, though service was a bit on the slow side. Definitely recommended if you're in the area

I love African food and heard Burna Boy was here a few years ago so it's been on my list to try…read more Went on a Thurs eve. Food/drinks: It was mostly solid. I had the thiebudienne with fish. My partner wanted the Poulet DG (they were out) so he had the mafé. Both were very good, with huge portions (though it's a hard sell for me at 38€ a plate). We also ordered 2 sides of plantain. They were both undercooked, so they prepared an order for us to takeaway. We also tried the 2 rhum based drinks (I really liked the ginger one). Service: It was okay. Initially, someone came every 2 minutes to ask to take our order, which was too fast for me and felt a little commercial. Once our food came, no one came to check on us again. Ambiance: Overall, I love that this type of restaurant exists in an accessible part of Paris! It's more upscale than most you'll find in the city and is large and lively. Live music was a bonus and loved seeing couples, families, and people of all backgrounds. I wish they had put the AC on! It's clear this place is made by Africans for a wider audience; if not for the price, I'd go back again soon.

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.

Some places just look like they will be good and knowledgeable - this was one of them. The owner was very gracious in explaining the entire menu and I selected le thieboudiene which was a delicious dish fish, cod fish fritters and a special punch. All of the food was excellent and the drink was well composed and packed a punch. My only regret is that I didn't have time to eat here again during my visit but hope to return next time. The pleasant and friendly service was the icing on the cake. Tres Bon!
