A Maquis restaurant<\/a> is a typical and unique dining spot in the Ivory Coast!<\/p>

These open-air restaurants serve delicious local dishes such as braised chicken, fish with onions and tomatoes, atti\u00e9k\u00e9 and kedjenou. Maquis are small in size and often crowded, which means the food is fresh and tasty. A handy tip: check where the most people gather, as that is often a sign of quality!<\/p>

Eating at a Maquis is a great way to experience Ivorian culture and cuisine.<\/p>

Don't let that stop you, because you are really missing out on some goodies!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ivorian cuisine is a true exploration of flavors, focusing on fresh ingredients such as tubers, grains, pork, chicken, fish, seafood and spices.<\/p>

What stands out is that practically no sugar or dairy is used. Flavors come mainly from onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, bay leaf and pepper. Sweet and creamy flavors come from ripe fruits, giving dishes a unique twist.<\/p>

Grilled fish and chicken are favorites, but guinea fowl is also widely eaten.<\/p>

In the Ivory Coast it is not always about vegetables as a main course, as we are used to in the Netherlands.<\/p>

Here, rice, stews and meat take center stage.<\/p>
