There are several restaurants serving Ivorian cuisine, the majority of which are located on the sidewalk or on a tiny roadside patio. Make sure you inquire about the pricing before you sit down, so you don’t have to have long debates about it afterwards when they attempt to overcharge you. Rice, cassava, yam, and bread are main meals of the Ivory Coast. Bread is often consumed for breakfast or as a meal supplement. Cooked whole, as a mash called plakali, combined with banana (foutou), or in crums, cassava (manioc) may be consumed (atchiki). The cheapest meal is generally fish. Plateau, Cocody, Deux Plateaux, and Zone 4 are some of the affluent neighborhoods with European-style food.
