The 18 Best Restaurants in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire

"Bushman Café in Cocody is a chaotic, intoxicating mix of the best things Abidjan has to offer: caffeine, art, and vibes. Founded by Alain Kablan Porquet, a passionate enthusiast of coffee and culture, the fusion of restaurant, hotel, and creative arts space hits customers in every sense. The aroma of roasted arabusta beans welcomes people in; the walls are lined with local art; the sounds of live music, poetry readings, and intellectual debates fill the air. Sip a cappuccino or a jus de bissap (refreshing hibiscus flower drink known for its tangy flavor and health benefits) as you immerse yourself in the eclectic, bohemian spirit." - Meha Desai

Beautiful establishment. The owner and his team are incredibly hospitable. Great food and great music. This is my first visit to Africa from the United States. I appreciate the welcome vibe and immersion into African culture, particularly the facility tour from the owner, with historically rich artificats. I strongly recommend Bushman Cafe!

The café has an eclectic decor, featuring a wide array of art, antiques, and sculptures. The walls are all huged with framed pictures and artwork, and the first floor ceiling draped with white fabric. Out of that hallway is a stair case with draping natural plant roots. The café has rooms, so also serve as a hotel, a rooftop restaurant, art space, concept store, and museum. The receptionist was really helpful and helped translate some words to the servers at the cafe area. (Although she didn't know much English herself 😉) We were served free cocoa tea, which was delicious. Although we came way earlier than their opening time, they still had patience and accommodated us. Food and music upstairs is a vibe. The whole environment is calming even though you're in the city. 100% recommended.

Nice place for vacation especially tourists who are looking to enjoy an African vibe and who love art. However not recommended for business trip.

Stepping into Bushman Cafe is like stepping into the house of someone who has travelled the world and brought back beauty from every corner of the continent. We were a small group visiting for dinner, one of our members was a band mate and we were invited to play on stage for a few songs. Very impromptu and spontaneous. It was a lovely experience. The food was amazing that evening, and afterwards we received some time with the owner and were treated to a personal tour exploring the whole Restaurant/House. It is an artistic extravaganza of all different mediums and to get to hear and see it through the eyes of the one who curated it was a beautiful exchange. This is an ambiance where the love for art triumphs over perfection. The food was delicious, and we didn’t have any wait time in that regard. For those who did, perhaps you may not be experienced or familiar with the casual or slower pace of some African eateries. This is a meeting place to sit and look someone at the table in the eyes and engage in inspiring conversation. Take in the surrounding beauty, be with the place, and witness some spontaneous magical moments should they arrive. Hats off to the owner and the staff here and wish you the best success and continued fostering of the artists spirit. And, try their chocolate! It’s delicious and top notch!

Wonderful and artsy! If you love art and authenticity, then this is the ideal place to enjoy a delicious meal. The place is full of unique handmade art, from top to bottom. You definitely can't get bored. The staff are so welcoming and polite. The menu comprises of local food and they have a great vegetarian section. All the meals we've tried were delicious and the portions are very generous! Lovely place, I definitely recommend!!

We stayed a night at the Bushman Hotel and loved everything about it. The rooms are large, comfortable and creatively designed. The space is a work of art in and of itself. The restaurant was wonderful. The service was excellent. I highly recommend staying here when in town.

Very aesthetically pleasing spot! I enjoyed my time here with family and friends. The food was really tasty, however the grilled fish could have been seasoned a little better. Highly recommend.
