Les meilleurs restaurants en Viry-Chatillon

06/09/2026: A very disappointing experience, demonstrating a serious lack of organization and professionalism. We had already dined at this restaurant once before and found the food excellent, despite a particularly long wait. It was precisely because we had such fond memories of the meal that we decided to return today, this time with friends. I had called the day before to reserve a table for 1 p.m. The person I spoke to said "1 p.m./2 p.m." Having run late on the day, I took the trouble to call the restaurant again to let them know that we would be arriving around 2 p.m. rather than 1 p.m. (even though I had been given to understand that it was possible to arrive as late as 2 p.m. the day before). The phone conversation was quite complicated (the person I spoke to that day didn't seem to speak French very well, nor did they seem to understand it), and I had to repeat my request several times, but I was finally told there was no problem with 2 pm. So we arrived at 2 pm: the restaurant was completely empty and there was no one to greet us. We waited 5 minutes at the entrance. After announcing our presence several times, a man finally came out of the kitchen. We explained that we had a reservation, and he then informed us that the restaurant was actually closed and didn't open until 3 pm. This was completely baffling, since the hours listed on Google indicated an opening time of 1 pm, a 1 pm reservation had been accepted the day before, and, most importantly, I had called back that same day to reschedule our arrival for 2 pm without anyone telling me the restaurant would be closed. The man then told us, several times, "Normally it's closed, but it doesn't matter, you're already here, make yourselves comfortable." Except that, in fact, we weren't "already here" by chance. We were there because we had made a reservation and because our 2 p.m. arrival had been confirmed by phone. We even asked him several times if he was sure he wanted to seat us, specifying that if they were truly closed, we would rather leave than be a bother. Despite his "it doesn't matter," his welcome was particularly cold, and the way the situation was presented to us clearly gave us the feeling that our presence was inconvenient and that we were almost being done a favor by being seated. So we decided to leave. What's a shame is that we had come back precisely because we had found the food very good the first time. Unfortunately, between the already significant wait during our first visit and this second experience marked by a real problem with organization, communication, and customer service, we have absolutely no desire to return. A mistake with the time can happen. A misunderstanding too. But when a customer makes a reservation, calls back on the day to change their arrival time, and receives confirmation, they shouldn't discover upon arrival that the establishment is supposed to be closed and then feel like they're bothering them. In these cases, don't accept the reservation. We are committed to supporting businesses and entrepreneurs from the diaspora, and we are always happy to recommend good places in our area. But this support shouldn't prevent us from recognizing when there is a real lack of seriousness and professionalism. It becomes difficult, unfortunately, to support and recommend an establishment when the customer experience is so neglected. This review is therefore intended to be constructive. This restaurant has one real strength: its cuisine, which we found excellent during our first visit. It is precisely for this reason that I find it regrettable that an establishment with such potential can be hampered by organizational, communication and reception problems which are perfectly avoidable.

17/08/2026: The same old problem persists in our African restaurants: the customer experience. You can post all the beautiful photos you want on Instagram, but if you don't respect your customers' time, you won't build loyalty or be able to grow your business. It's a very promising project, and the diverse menu is certainly appreciated, but waiting an hour for each course is outrageous, with no apology whatsoever. Also, chikwangue is the equivalent of bread in French restaurants: why do you charge extra for it? It's a shame because there's been absolutely no improvement since my first visit in 2021. It's as if you're not even trying to succeed, or your pride prevents you from understanding that there's a serious lack of consideration. It's a shame because you could have contributed to the growth and expansion of REAL African cuisine in France, but no, we wonder what you really want. In short, it needs improvement; I won't be returning to avoid being disappointed again.
