Abidjan Café by Mövenpick — Restaurant in Le Plateau

This place could be so much better with more care given to service and stricter cleanliness, especially in the courtyard. To start with, the restaurant is well located, on the shore of the Ébrié lagoon in Marcoury, close to the big eatery La Terrasse. There is a nice breeze blowing in its garden, which refreshes the air and make it an enjoyable place in heat-striken Abidjan. We were seated at a table in the courtyard. It was not really clean with pile of garbage not far from the table and some littered in the water just in front of us.

For those interested they also have cigars available. You have the choice between outdoor and indoor setting. Different kind of payments are accepted. The food was ok. Nothing more . Portions are ok. Starters salad are quite nice I'm not a fan of these kind of settings but it is the perfect place for a business lunch- dinner or romantic outing if you want to treat...

While staying at the Mövenpick hotel, the café was a good alternative for meals as it has more choice than the bar and it's less expensive than the main restaurant. I tried the cow's cheek and the pizza. It was good, but not special. There's a decent bordeaux wine by the glass. Very...
