Djembe

This welcoming, colorful cafe, a block west of Pl de l'Indépendance, is the whispered insider-tip for anyone looking for a satisfying platter of thiéboudienne (rice baked in a thick sauce of fish and vegetables). Poulet yassa (grilled chicken with onion and lemon sauce), bissap juice (a purple drink made from water and hibiscus leaves), loud music, and a good mix of locals and foreigners are also on the menu.

In the 19th arrondissement of Paris, Le Djembé restaurant invites you to a gourmet stop with excellent aromas. You'll find a vibrant landscape that pays homage to the magic of Africa and the West Indies, and it's conveniently located near Parc de la Villette. The chef will design delicacies that your expert taste buds won't be able to take their eyes off with his experience and sense of fun. Senegal is a destination well worth seeing.
