LOYO

The best restaurant ever! I’ve had the pleasure of being introduced to this restaurant by my friend and it’s been the best thing ever. The owner is so kind, wonderful and personable! Made me feel like I’ve been coming here for the past 10 years. I highly recommend anyone looking for good food to come here. I had the chicken and rice and then came back a second time before leaving Paris to eat here again. The atmosphere and vibes here are just immaculate. The food is so tasty and cooked to perfection.

Came here after someone recommended it and Loyo did not disappoint. We let the owner decide on what to serve us and it was the fried fish and the grilled chicken. The fish was so tasty that my friend even sucked on the bones. The chicken also had a nice creamy sauce that was very flavorful. Try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

Delicious. We hoped for a great example of Martinique cuisine...and found it. The entree platter of assortments was awesome. Those samosas, wow. The prawn spring rolls were basically fine dining. Then the signature dish - the poulet. Definitely get it with the plantain rather than rice. The best, soft, sweet and juicy plantain I've perhaps ever had. The chicken was perfectly braised, the creamy sauce I could eat all day. It's a generous serving so two people could share it. We also had the goat curry which was equally delightful. Slow cooked and perfectly spiced, with black beans flavoured with cloves. Highly recommend for the flavours of Martinique, cooked at a high level.

Loved our visit here - wholesome and DELICIOUS food, yummy cocktails, cosy/casual vibe. Would gladly go again, and highly recommend! We had the poulet braisé (riz banane plantin) and the rougail saucisse. Both were 10/10.

I’ve been here twice and both times for a birthday treat, so can’t comment specifically on the price. For the rest, let’s start on the positive. The appetizers were excellent, just the right amount of spice. The main, a fish dish, was also very good, with lots of bold flavors. The dessert, chocolate cake with cocoanut ice cream, also very good. And the drinks? So excellent we each ordered two. The up side with the service was they were very kind, happy to explain everything, and very patient when I made a mistake with my order and so had to change it. As for the atmosphere, very comfortable, though not too fancy, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this place may not work for you. Now for the not-so-great stuff. With the food, you should be warned that with the fish dishes at least, they bring you the whole fish, head, skin, and bones included. And while I could certainly scrape around the bigger bones and avoid the head, I was picking smaller ones out of my teeth the whole evening. The dessert was fine, but nothing special as in you could get something similar just about anywhere. No specific spice or other intriguing touch. Finally, I felt like the service was pretty slow. I had to ask for a menu more than once to get the additional drinks and dessert. One final high note, though, as we were paying, the ladies offered us complimentary rum shots which were delicious! If you’re looking for a solid date-night of tasty African cuisine, this is a great option.

The food was delicious. I will definitely come back!

Found this place as we wandered around Montmartre and I’m glad we decided to stop and eat. This was some of the best food I had in Paris hands down. I didn’t even take pictures of it because I was too busy savoring every bite. The staff were super friendly and were patient with me as I struggled to order in French. Food came out pretty quick and left nothing to be desired. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Paris!

Fabulous food! We had the sample entree, the 10-spice fish, and the house speciality, grilled chicken with onions and breadfruit fritters - superb! Packed with mouth-watering flavours, attractively presented, by friendly & smiling staff. With a bottle of wine included, total was about €60... Will definitely be back, to check out the rest of the menu!!!
