Yakro sur Seine
A popular maquis (open-air bar-restaurant) on Maquis Street in Yamoussoukro, serving home-style Ivorian dishes and grilled food. It stays open until the early hours, with live shows most evenings.
Yakro sur Seine is on Rue des Maquis in the Habitat district, across from the Boulangerie Rendez-Vous bakery. It is a popular spot where locals gather for dinner at night and one of Yamoussoukro’s must-visit maquis. Signature dishes include mutton soumbala rice, flambéed guinea fowl, braised oxtail, and grilled fish, which is especially recommended. The menu also includes African and Western dishes. The venue has a performance stage, and the same owners also run a hotel. It is open daily from midday to 2 a.m., and weekend evenings are busy. Reservations are not needed. Prices are about 8,000 West African CFA francs per person. It is not far from the city center or the Grand Mosque, and a taxi can take you there.
