Chez Brovi
Maquis Chez Brovi
One of Lomé's best-known traditional maquis, grilling fresh fish to order and serving it with akyeke and fried plantain. Good value and full of flavour.
Located on Boulevard Nicolas Grunitzky in the city centre, about 100 metres from the Central Town Hall. Local rankings place it first for grilled fish in Lomé. You choose from the day's fresh fish (carp, tilapia, sole and more), which is grilled to order and served with akyeke (cassava granules), fried plantain (alloco) or fried yam. The chilli sauce is very hot. The decor is simple, with a shaded courtyard in a semi-open space. Service is slow: expect about 30 minutes after ordering, so come prepared to wait. No reservation needed. Expect about 8,000 West African CFA francs per person. Reachable on foot from around Independence Square, or by motorbike taxi.
Opening hours
