Highly original is this appealing eatery set in a tata somba house with superb views of Nati and the Atakora Mountains. Book ahead for the house specialities: canard au tchouk (duck cooked in tchoukoutou – sorghum beer – sauce) and lapin au sodabe (rabbit cooked in sodabe – moonshine – sauce). And be sure to try its delicious salade peule (tomatoes with local cheese).
