Bushman Café
A cultural landmark combining restaurant, bar, art gallery and boutique hotel; the rooftop restaurant serves Ivorian home cooking on banana leaves.
Located in a multi-storey villa at Cocody Riviera 4 (around M'Pouto), its walls hung with contemporary African art. The rooftop garden restaurant, Le Wêlé, serves Ivorian dishes made with seasonal local ingredients: charcoal-grilled grouper skewers, chicken or guinea fowl choukouya, and the chef's braised-and-roasted chicken, served with attiéké, fried plantain and sweet potato purée, often on banana leaves. There is also a Bushman burger with cassava fries. The most popular time is sunset on the rooftop with a cocktail. Most of the roof is open-air, so seating is tight on rainy days. It is some distance from the city centre and best reached by taxi.
Opening hours
About 16:00–24:00; also open weekend daytimes (check official listings)
