Description
very nice restaurant. good food, very clean! owned by a french guy. who also has a mask museum in his house next door. now moved over the road but easy to spot.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Such a nice place to stay. Very welcoming people.
We only paid for the awesome food and drinks. Decent prices.
The backyard is clean, flat and water is available.
The mask collection is the cherry on the cake. Some very interesting pieces.

Stayed here one night on our way to Léfini, it's nice for one night for sure.
The restaurant it's a bit pricy, but we still ate something there since they let us camp for free.
Report Check-InCan recommend. Everything still as mentioned below. We had dinner in the restaurant, they came up with a vegan option for us (French fries and vegetables), it was okay. The dishes with meat are quite good though apparently. Very friendly staff.
Report Check-InPerfect place to end up after a whole day of driving from the border. We stayed there 2 nights for free. Had access to toilets & cold shower. They also have a nice swimming pool & (slow) wifi. What a Luxury !
1000 cfa for a local beer. They also have a restaurant - didn't try but smelled good ;)
Mess Gaps is still there. She is happy and proud to have visitors. We had a good chat. Everything is still true about food, cleanest and available space for camping vehicles/tents.
Report Check-InCould stay for free with our rig at the parking. Clean toilet and shower included. Super friendly owner and staff. Didn’t try the restaurant, but it looks nice. Beers are 1000CFA.
Report Check-InNice and calm place, they have rooms at 15.000 and 20.000. Free camping at garden/parking in back still possible. Clean swimming pool and good restaurant.
Report Check-InRooms available, a little overpriced but calm and good place for sleep . Safe for the motorcycle
Report Check-Ini was camping here for 2 nights..Gaps's daughter was here and allowed me stay for free..also free used toilet and shower..the first night she asked me to join her family weekend dinner.. they are soo nice..
she can speak English, but just stay here for every weekend..
Gaps was died one month ago.
Marta, his wife, is here.
Camping is free if you take your meal at the restaurant.
Very good restaurant, a little expensive.
Didn’t stay but tried the food. Ridiculously overpriced. Chicken with fries and a beer (nothing special): 11 000 CFA. WiFi was not working when I was there and that was the only reason why I went there. It’s a nice place but the food is really, really waaaay overpriced I thought. Didn’t see any of the rooms. Little swimming pool was also not working.
On the positive side: really friendly staff.
Report Check-InWe went to the other spot on ioverlander first but they asked 10.000CFA. So we came here, we could camp for free but somehow they expect you to eat there. It is expensive (around 6000 per meal which is only chicken or beef or fish without any side dish) and not really special unfortunately but the place was ok, shower and toilet available.
Report Check-InWe ordered the cheapest item available that Day and ate some Chicken with Fries and Tomato Sauce (2x) and had a big Beer. Ended up paying 15.000 CFA (23 Euro). Really okay for a nice Dinner including Camping with Toilet and Shower.
Report Check-InThe place is quiet and clean. The food was basic but very expensive compared to local prizes, also the beer (1500 cfa). Not many but only forgein visitors. The museum is more a mask collection, nice and impressive artwork but you just can look at them without context (age, etnic, cultural meaning etc.).
Report Check-InVery friendly owner! Gaps let us camp for free. shower, toilet and small pool available.
food is very good but a bit pricey
Also rooms/appartments available here!
very nice restaurant. good food, very clean! owned by a french guy. who also has a mask museum in his house next door.
