Le Maquis

Le Maquis Restaurant ranks 4th on the list of the best restaurants in Mauritania. This establishment is as down-to-earth as they get, offering you copious amounts of rice, fish, and Senegalese mafé. It's usually bustling, and the food is always hot and tasty. Turn left about a block along the Chinguetti road from the rond-point. This location is denoted by a little sign on the right-hand corner.

In Le Maquis Restaurant, speedy service, decent cappuccinos, and a good selection of pastries make this place a popular, albeit poorly lit, spot for business meetings. At any other time of day, you can grab a pizza or sandwich for a quick filler or grilled fish and brochettes (kebabs) for something more substantial. Furthermore, easily the restaurant with the best atmosphere in the city, Le Maquis is located in the shady front courtyard of Maison d'Hôtes Jeloua. Daily specials like vegetable quiche and a menu of beef, chicken, shrimp, and lobster (order 24 hours in advance).
