Le Petit Resto de Paul sur Orange

I had read terrific reviews about this restaurant and so I was excited to go. Unfortunately, for us the experience did not live up to the reviews. We started our meal with the salade exotique, which is a salad of greens, tomato, shrimp, mussels and avocado. Unfortunately instead of mussels, we were treated to smashed tinned sardine. The salad was very small (3 shrimp, a handful of greens) and cost €13.50. Next we had the poulet mafre, A chicken leg in a savory gravy. The chicken was very tasty, to be sure. It was perhaps the best item of what we ate there. The plate had a chicken leg quarter, a few pieces of fried plantain, some rice, and a very small portion of vegetables. €19.50. For dessert, we ordered what was billed as an exotic fruit cup. What came was a small cup of fruit with a few pieces of mango, strawberry, kiwi and banana, and some fruit jam on it. €9.50. While we really enjoyed the chicken dish, I just felt that the quantities and qualities did not justify the price. Had the meal cost 20% less, I would have given this four stars.

Excellent restaurant where you're warmly welcomed with a smile... the food is delicious... the salad menu is top-notch, the chicken maffé is succulent, and the pineapple rum fritters are to die for 😋 a wonderful discovery... I'll gladly return 👍😉👌✨️

A great find! Delicious and beautifully presented West African-inspired dishes (aloko, etc.) (I recommend the vegetarian option), and a quiet terrace at the entrance to the Chorégies d'Orange festival. Highly recommended.

An excellent meal before the Cinderella show. A very warm welcome, and the food was prepared with care. Great, the girls loved it.

Excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious cod fritters, the succulent chicken mafé, the delicious banana fritters, and the impeccable service, pleasant from beginning to end. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! 👍👍👍😊

Great restaurant. Traditional, homemade African cuisine. The owner is funny and friendly. Thank you for a lovely time and your contagious good humor.

The welcome was very warm and they gave us good advice to help us discover the flavors of Benin in Africa.

Excellent and generous portions. Everything homemade, superb cuisine. The waiter was very friendly and pleasant. A very good meal!

A delight, you don't look at anything

Incredible, authentic local flavors. I promise I'll be back.
