Akouyê Restaurant

A culinary journey between Africa and Europe

In the heart of Riviera Golf, Akouyê Restaurant offers a singular dining experience where the authentic flavours of Africa meet the finesse of European cuisine — in a warm, welcoming room set to live music.

The house

A table that tells the story of two continents

Our restaurant stands out for the quality of its cooking as much as for its atmosphere, carried by live performances with a full band. An intimate dinner, a festive night out with friends or an occasion worth marking: the room changes its tone without ever lowering its standards.

Our chef, devoted to African tradition, writes a menu of typical dishes with rich, authentic flavours, rounded out by European classics revisited with a contemporary touch.
