OUR STORY
Family recipes, served at your table
Saveurs d’Afrique opened in 2019 with a simple idea: to serve in Abomey-Calavi the food families eat together on Sundays.
In the kitchen, Mama Rosine cooks the recipes she learned from her grandmother in Abomey: yam pounded by hand, sauces simmered for hours, fresh chilli from Akassato market. Here, people take their time to eat, share and come back.
