A Cameroonian address on Chemin Queen Mary, present in Côte-des-Neiges since at least the mid-2010s, per The Main. The menu centres on whole braised fish — sea bass, mackerel, tilapia — in house-made spiced marinades, alongside braised chicken, grilled goat, roasted lamb and ndolé.
Plantain and rice come standard in generous portions, while beignets and hibiscus juice add a convivial touch to a lively, music-filled room.
