Hotel Dunia

€“ must call ahead 55.05.95. for 2500 cfa, madame cooks syrian/lebanese/burkinabã© food that is highly acclaimed by many pcvs.

Le Caiman

€“ many locals claim the grilled chicken here at 2000 cfa a pop is the best in town; a variety of good tasting typical burkinabã© fare frites, riz-sauce, meat soup, etc. for around 300 – 1000 cfa.; service is bad even by burkina standards

Hotel Amitié

€“ also a classy joint with white table cloths and overpriced sobbras. if you’re willing to dish out the cash, you can indulge in various european and middle eastern dishes.

“Tanti’s Gourmet”

€“ large portions of tasty upscale street food served in an “eat with your hand” laid-back restaurant environment; arguably the strongest piment in burkina.

Many other standard bar/restaurants, kiosques and cafés such as Auberge, Ciné Place, Hawaii Café with decent food at reasonable prices can be found along the main road through town.

street food and snacks

There are many “benga ladies” along the main road and around the marché with fewer as you leave the center town; typically they offer benga, rice and sauce, tô, spaghetti and sometimes meat soup; atchiéké is also a popular street food dish which can be found around town without too much effort. Gateaux, galettes, and various forms of fried dough and potato-like produce throughout the marché and surrounding areas. There is a guy near the post office who grills delicious chicken for 1500 CFA a pop. Also the Laiterie Kossam Yadega is well-stocked with consistently tasty milk products for sale; while enticing, don’t be fooled by the expensive gateaux for sale, it’s not worth the price.
