Akango - Porto-Novo

Akongo I (National Assembly) is closed. We have to go to Hotel Beaurivage to find Akongo II.

Akongo I (assemblée nationale) est fermé. Il faut aller direction hôtel Beaurivage pour trouver Akongo II.

Located in a quiet street not far from the place of the national assembly, we easily found the Akango, after being told. We saw it in the Petit Futé Benin, cited as a good table, and were tempted by the discovery. At first, it seems welcoming, a big step on the roof surrounded by greenery, then we think that in the shade and in the air, it can only go... As soon as we arrive, we are redirected to a closed room, austere, under air conditioning; We are alone, and it gives us the impression of eating in a very cold station room. The choice of the map seemed a little limited and we returned to two safe values, a braised fish accompanied by a paste, and a yassah chicken with rice. The fish is ridiculous in size compared to what we are accustomed to eating in the maquis, and the Akasa paste quite insipid... When in Yassah, there's not only the name... Indeed, this dish prepares for lemon, with lots of eggs, and nothing. It's chicken we poured a mustard sauce, really not terrible. With two gaseous waters and an aperitif, 9600CFA, very expensive for this quality... So you will have understood it, great disappointment, especially after reading the descriptive of the Little Futer... So, either they never visited him, the Akango, or they smoked the carpet that day! We really went there, see the scan of the note, and it was bad! Note an interesting painting on one of the walls.
