L'Horloge du Sud

Unfortunately the food has deteriorated since my last visit 5 years ago - both the Yassa and Liboke were about the blandest I've ever tasted. I'd looked forward to my return visit all weekend and was disappointed - the iconic, historic environment was the same, the service was great but the food......what a huge let down. Seems L'Horloge du Sud has chosen to cater for the non-African market - that was the clientele, reflected by bland food - next time I'll keep walking to somewhere more authentic but please improve! (Oh, and the Akwaaba starter was just bland terribleness)

Nice place with very friendly and professional staff. Food was delicious. Price was in line with what we had.

Delicious food and great service! I wish the band would have played but apparently they are doing so from May onwards. Worth it.

Honestly just a great place with a nice atmosphere, nice service and good and interesting food and drinks for decent prices! Definitely worth going out of the city for!

Unpleasant. We came as a group. "Suggestions" communicated in advance became the only three choices. These three dishes resembled more canteen food than a decent restaurant dish, not to talk about an exotic one: a chicken leg supposed to have been prepared with peanut juice, but nobody could taste this, with rice (a side that's to be paid on top, one of several potential choices in the menu, certainly not the most African one, nobody was asked which side or even consulted which would be the most tasty, special ...), a bit of fish advertised to be with a lime sauce that nobody could identify, under a heap of onions, with rice (again), and a vegetable stew. Nothing tasted for much, leave alone anything special. Anything else from the menu or daily menu was refused, overheard and ignored.

Reasonable priced French-African restaurant in a lively neighborhood. The food was tasty. I would definitely come back and try something else from the menu.

"This was our first time trying African cuisine and we couldn't have picked a better restaurant than this one. The experience was fantastic. The service was warm and welcoming, and the staff spoke excellent English. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly recommendations from the staff. Personally, I ordered the Dibi with the Tango Gingembree drink and both come highly recommended. The meat was incredibly tender and the spices used in the dish were amazing. A major highlight of this restaurant is the background music, which perfectly complemented the food and the overall experience. The music was great and really enhanced our dining experience."

A very authentic and delicious African food. Regularly coming back for my favorite lamb with banana (dibi). Very friendly staff.

Perfect mix between Africa and Europe, the owner looks like Django from the movie 'Django Unchained', no kidding.

Chicken wings are great. Not spicy, just delicious. Ordered them for my daughter and was happy she didn't finish them. Loved the uniqueness of their flavor. Also enjoyed the gluten-free fonio grain with my Maave de poulet (West African chichen) which was new for me, an American. Haven't tried the manioc yet. Cool African music and lots of locals visiting = a great vibe, and worth the visit.

You might find me here, randomly. Just another odd face in the mixed crowd. Enjoying live music perhaps, almost definitely with a drink, perhaps a beer, or a refreshing cocktail. Maybe I've just finished eating something. Something with meat, something filling and warm but unique and distinctive. It's not gourmet, or haute cuisine, it doesn't try to be. But it will satisfy and may surprise you if you can get passed the rough edges. It's a character. A grizzled old classic, changing and not changing, young and vibrant. Good for sharing.

Simple 'eatery'-style interior but good African food, sizeable dishes, fair prices. The place has character, there's a good crowd (mostly young people). Had chicken and fish dishes, both tasty. Only negative is that they don't accept the very common meal vouchers, really a shame.
