La Forge

A bar-restaurant on Avenue Kwame Nkrumah specialising in grilled meat — chicken, fish, brochettes, the occasional lamb — served with rice or french fries and a small salad. It is an excellent place to discover Burkinabé grill culture without venturing into the streetside maquis (informal grill bars).

The room is open-sided, the music loud, and the beer cold. Mains 3,000–6,000 CFA. The chicken in particular is consistently good — order it with the spicy local sauce.
