L'Exotica sur Lyon

06/04/2026: Meh. Mixed feelings. I ordered a Mafé, and they served me a Yassa (I didn't say anything). The Yassa wasn't bad in itself, but it didn't taste like a Yassa. The starter (acradles) and dessert (coconut cake) were good, but nothing special. The decor was dated, and the tableware was a bit cheap; I can hardly recommend it. I find it rather sad in general that so many African restaurants are still somewhat amateurish, as is the case here; it's a cuisine that deserves better than that.

09/01/2026: The welcome is warm and attentive; you quickly feel at ease 😊. The African dishes are authentic, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented, with generous portions 🍛🔥. I particularly appreciated the balance of spices and the quality of the ingredients. The atmosphere is friendly and exotic, perfect for a meal with friends or family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨. A place to recommend without hesitation 👍.
