I went there twice and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the goat meat (Choucouya de Chèvre) and it is the best I’ve ever had. The sides (thieb rice pilaf, attieke and plantain) are also delicious. The service was on point and the ambiance was lovely ! I highly recommend anyone who likes African food to go to this restaurant !!!

Delicious restaurant! You might be tempted to walk past this unassuming place - DON’T. Our group really enjoyed our dinner here and the atmosphere was cozy. They had several vegan friendly dishes for myself and other dishes for non-vegans. Two people had the goat dish. They said the meat melted off the bone and it was so flavorful. SPICY, but delicious. One of us has the fish and said it was very tasty. I had the peanut stew and enjoyed it. None of us had ever tried west African food so it was a really nice dinner overall.

Food is always amazing. Interior decor and vibe are awesome. Service is great. Sometimes they’re slower than usual, which is normal for any restaurant. Overall, I’m always satisfied with my orders although they’re a bit pricey.

Was quite impressed with the food, service and ambiance. I generally have low expectations of service when it comes to African restaurants but these guys were on point! Menus within seconds of seating instead of having to wait. Orders taken within ten minutes of seating. Food came 20 minutes later. We were in and out in under an hour! I had the goat. Friend had the seabass. We both cleaned off the plate. We both ordered Guinness beer and noticed the French labeling so they paid attention to detail. Perfect for families and date night. There were two families with babies and young children and other couples on date night so it was an interesting mix.

Fantastic experience. Never had food from Ivory Coast before and that was a delight. But the service and the skill of the chef made it in an amazing experience.

Went here for the first time with my mom and partner. The service was great! We had the Okra stew, grilled seabass, and goat meat. Everything was amazing. I would order any of these dishes again. The high google review of 4.9 stars is not inflated. I will be back.... likely multiple times.

This is the best West African restaurant in Toronto !! I’ve been here twice, and truely recommend beef with attiéké and the long plate(sorry, forgot the name😭). If you like to drink, hibiscus cocktail would be awesome. Also, The server and the owner was very nice :)

We went there in a rush cause we didn't have enough time as our bus was leaving soon from Toronto. But they were really understanding, and the service was so great ! They made us suggestions about meal that doesn't take too long to cook and guess what ? We were early for our bus !!! And the food was so so tasty ! The price for the quality was great ! We didn't finish all of our plate, the quantity was large ! Instant du palais is an absolutely must try if you are in Toronto ❤️
