Helpfulness
There are some restaurant ran by expatriates which are very good in Bamako, particularly when you spent weeks in the bush and you come back to civilisation.
The owner is a Flemish Belgian from Alost and his wife his from Thailand.
The menu offers a large range of delicious dishes, all of them very tasty and healthy.
The restaurant is often full during weekend evening, so it is better to make a reservation
Favorite Dish: No real favorite dish, I enjoy the whole menu.

Thierry, the owner and the cook will greet you with a large range of different Belgian specialities accomodated with sometimes local stuffs.
You can have dinner outside a the terrasse, or inside with airconditionning.
Prices are curiously very low for imported food.
Favorite Dish: A choice of Belgian beers like Kriek, gueuze, Rodenbach, Blanche, etc
Don't take French wine there, not good quality, prefer his South African wine.
Starters with salad and cheese,
Real lamb meet, very rare in Africa to find young animal flesh.

L'Appaloosa is a tex-mex restaurant opened over the night during weekends.
It offers a simple food nicely served.
Favorite Dish: Steak a la planca. Malian beef is particularly tasty and soft, no hormones, no GMO, etc.
Almost as good as in South Africa.
