Most larger buvettes have eats in the afternoons and evenings, but here are a few notables from the recommendations and favorites of Bobo Stage Goers:

restaurants
La Pacha

€“ personal favorite – has pizzas, middle eastern food/ french cuisine, and is on the pricey side. it faces the gare by the marche de fruits.

restaurants
Sidwaya

€“ hard to miss, as it is right next to the giant train station “le gare” not to be confused with various other bus stations. sprawling tables set in a garden space – prices are not outrageous and it is mostly general burkinabe restaurant fare some salads, brochettes, sandwiches, soups, rice plates, french fries, plantains, and other such side dishes, and a selection of beers, soft drinks, yogurt available too.

restaurants
Campagnard

€“ noted for it’s brochettes, also has the best salad in burkina faso--piles of grated beets and carrots, avocados, hard-boiled eggs and delicious dressing. much the same fare as sidwaya, similar prices, but brochettes are raved about by the meat eaters.

restaurants
Oscars

€“ the ice cream joint. also serves cold drinks, beers, and has a small selection of western foods.

street food and snacks

You can get rice and sauce, achekeh, fish, to and sauce, cokes, fantas, and snacks on almost every corner, but here are some things to watch out for in season:

June/July “chenilles” CATERPILLARS Baby! - They come fried – and are eaten crunchy like french-fries – or can be put in a baguette for a caterpillar sandwich

November/January “wusu” or white sweet potatoes sold boiled, with salt and piment.

April/November MANGOS

Imports from Cote D Ivoire Ivory Coast: “aloco” or fried plantains, coconuts, all bananas.
