Exotic restaurant in Paris offering African recipes with fresh, high-quality products.
An address that becomes trendy, by the way it surely is, this BMK is located between the Gare de l'Est and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis. In this exotic canteen, African recipes are honoured in a nice well-done and well-thought-out setting with good fresh produce. Baobab, papaya, cassava, jujube… novices, there are many, will be guided by the menu and advice. And there's a choice between the mafe, the matoke, the yassa and many other totally typical surprises… The whole is accompanied by juices with original dishes. Special mention to the colourful, rich, beautiful decoration. Note that the place is also a grocery store.

Members' reviews on BMK PARIS - BAMAKO
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with an olfactory orchestra of sensational spices. The place is decorated in a no-nonsense yet cosy way. The food is truly fantastic: we tried the Afro veggie tempura – which reminded me somewhat of bhaji – as well as Bamako's Yassa, and Gao's Thieb Guinar. All dishes were delightful. The latter – a take on the Thieboudienne – was my personal favourite.
I can heartily recommend a visit to BMK Paris-Bamako if you're in the area, and would even recommend giving it a go if you need to travel for it.
