La Savane
“I got the fowl, cassava, plantains, and lamb with a friend and the total was around thirty — not too bad considering we have tons of leftovers!”
“It will have your nose running but for hot sauce and spicy lovers like myself, I wanted more!”
“My only complaint about this place is that it can be challenging if you don't speak French.”

Aside from the fact that half the items on the menu may not be available (which may be, in part, the charm), there is some absolutely mouthwatering dishes to be had at this small but authentic (so I'm told) establishment.
The big surprise was the fork-tender – no, SPOON-tender (which is good, since they didn't give me a knife) – lamb shank. Named more aptly on the menu as, "Gigot", this monstrous helping of two lamb shanks was deeply seasoned and progressively satisfying, bite after bite. The fried fish was also a similarly generous serving (definitely made for two!), and a big hit for everyone at the table who ordered it. Savoury, crispy, and flaky within – if I wasn't such a unabashed carnivore, this could very well have been my favourite dish instead.
Guzzling down orange Fanta and spiking each bite of lamb or fish with that fantastic hot sauce on the side made for a great meal, although be forewarned, your ordering experience will probably go a lot smoother if you speak French. But French-speaking or not, the food will remain equally delicious.
