I would like to think that I am definitely not hard to please…on any given day a good slice of cheesecake, churros or a lemon tart would make me the happiest foodie on earth. A lot of restaurants in Abidjan have lemon tarts on their dessert menus BUT are they all yummy ? That’s the …
As I grow older, I am more and more interested in developing heathy habits. For example, I am more conscious about my daily water intake, the number of steps I have to make even on a slow – I am lazy at home – day and definitely in my diet as well. Now let …

It’s been 3 months since I got back home in Côte d’Ivoire and I happily resumed one of my favourite activity: eating out in the new restaurants in Abidjan. Although there are more than 250 restaurants in the city, there are new ones opening and unfortunately other ones closing almost every month. Here are the …
