The Editor

The unique atmosphere of Africa

As soon as we enter La Mangue Amère, we discover one of the warmest and most welcoming atmospheres. The decoration offers us a delightful dive into a traditional African ambiance with vibrant colors and careful details. The perfect setting for a romantic dinner for two, a night out with friends, or a family meal.

A culinary journey full of surprises

Chef Aziz offers a beautiful menu that is entirely homemade and diverse, perfect for pleasing all tastes. Whether you're a fan of spicy, sweet and sour flavors, or prefer something milder, there is something for everyone! On the menu: the most emblematic Senegalese specialties such as beef mafé, a meat stew served with a peanut butter sauce or the thiéboudienne, a traditional dish made with fish and rice, seasoned with spices that will awaken your senses. Let yourself be seduced by the chicken yassa as well, marinated in a mix of onions, lemon, and spices, for an explosion of flavors. And if you're vegetarian or have specific dietary restrictions, Mangue Amère won't leave you out and will prepare a customized meal just for you.

Besides the delicious cuisine, the service also scores valuable points. The staff is attentive, courteous, and ready to advise you on the exotic dishes and cocktails that will make you feel like you're heading towards the Caribbean islands. Due to its popularity, we recommend booking a table in advance, especially during peak hours. This will ensure your visit to the restaurant for an exotic and refined culinary experience in Lyon.
