Charming maquis (chop bar) if you want to taste the local food. The kitchen is very clean and the staff very good. Try the local dishes with a local beer (La Béninoise).

The giant croissant, the cramique.
If you really want to push your luck eat from one of the many street vendors along any road or pathway. I was able to bring some Miltary, Meals Ready to Eat. A Lifesaver for me.You see lots of fried fish. I was not brave enough to try the vendors.

My favorite restaurant in is in the main city, Cotonou, called The Berlin. It is owned by a German man, but have some French influence. There are a few other good restaurants. La Caravel is one of them. Rice with Pima pepper
This is one of the whitest places in Benin, but the pizzas (CFA 4-5000!) arent bad, and neither is the beer. No west african food whatsoever tho.
Youll find these little places all over Benin, serving omelets, bread, coffe etc. Perfect for breakfast!
One of the better restaurants in Cotonou, price, quality.
