The central market in M'Baïki has a cluster of food stalls where women sell cooked food throughout the morning. Beignets (fried dough), grilled plantain, roasted peanuts, and skewers of meat appear regularly. Freshly prepared groundnut sauce ladled over rice or cassava is a market staple.
This is the cheapest and most social way to eat in M'Baïki. You will eat standing or sitting on a low stool, alongside market traders and townspeople. It is also the best place to try seasonal fruits — pineapple, mango, papaya, and avocado depending on the time of year.
