La Marmite Africaine

I'm new to Montrêal, and have spent some time in Côte d'Ivoire, where I fell in love with Aloco (fried plantains) roasted chicken with "la sauce", (if I told you I'd have to kill you), foufou (doughy maizey/cassavaey goodness) and fried whole tilapia with hot sauce. So when I stumbled upon the unassuming facade I couldn't believe my eyes. The menu was like finding an old friend. A peek inside told me all I needed to go inside: mostly Africans! I had to wait about 20 min, because I was ordering to go and I was a walk-in. Had a nice chat with a friend of the owner while I waited. I was not disappointed! Really good, really authentic. Word to the wise, if you want "la sauce", call an hour ahead...

"Delicious food – the chicken was flavorful, the vegetables were fresh, and the rice was perfectly cooked! The service was outstanding too. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're nearby."

This place is quite good! My grandmother recommended it to me, and we decided to have dinner here on a Wednesday evening. However, the menu is a little limited.
