Going out
Ikoyi
(LONDON)
A fabulous dining spin off on West African
cuisine where British staples meets West
African flavours to create dishes like plan-
tain, smoked scotch bonnet and raspberry,
agbalumo (african star apple) with pork and
jollof rice with smoked bone marrow. This
culinary fusion, combined with great tech-
nical skill is what distinguishes Ikoyi from
others, a one-of-a-kind restaurant.

Waly Fay (PARIS)
For non-Africans, Waly Fay better known
to regulars as Walyf, will be a voyage of
discovery. Spatial design is elegantly simple
venue, and lighting is moody. Waly Fay sees
a constant dining influx of those who know
from across West Africa and the Antilles. Its
menu offers rich platters like accra, boudin,
mafé, thiep, yassa and n’dole, tiep bou
dien, pépé atiéké soup, alocco cuisines. If
these options ever overwhelm, don’t worry,
you’ll be guided along by the restaurant’s
famously helpful staff. A serious delight for
any true African at heart.
