Leupaleup

This appears to be the neighborhood hang-​out much more than a specialities africaines restaurant. The service is sub-​Parisian standard, and that’s really saying something. The dining area has a very unpleasant odor to it, which could easily be a spice or side-​effect of the cooking, but it was unpleasant nonetheless.
It gets two stars because the food was plenty tasty.
The appetizer was something akin to Spam, only with a nut of some kind in it.
I had the poulet de suprise de chef, which came with carrots, onions and a very sweet yam-​like accessory. It also came with rice, but the rest of the dish was so substantial, I didn’t get into the rice.
I had that dish mainly because they were «out» of almost everything else on the menu. A restaurant with a selection like that really would do better to type up the selection (or even use a blackboard, like tends to be the trend in Paris). The same went for the drink menu, too; but seriously, I would have been happier picking my drink from a blackboard than trying to sort out what ones were «in season» today.
