The 24 best bars and drinks in Abidjan (2025)

A really beautiful and airy place in Riviera. It has a roof top if you’ll like to enjoy the natural view. The food and customer service was amazing, I had a nice time

The vibe is great with several different bars and dining rooms on 3 different floors.You can have a quiet coffee on the first floor, listen to live piano recital in the back (man I enjoyed that) and enjoy a full dinner next to the outdoor kitchen on the roof!This place is about art and music, their fans and and the people that produce them.I was ready to give this place 5 stars but it took way more than an hour for the chicken to finally arrive. The food was ok but definitely not worth the wait much less a special visit. Come for the unique and inspiring atmosphere, enjoy the drinks.Oh, I need to mention: The waiters are majestically handsome

Beautiful place. Tourists should go there to eat at least once. Good and clean African food.Live music on Tuesdays.

We stayed a night at the Bushman Hotel and loved everything about it. The rooms are large, comfortable and creatively designed. The space is a work of art in and of itself. The restaurant was wonderful. The service was excellent. I highly recommend staying here when in town.

Bushman is one of the most beautiful places İ have visited so far in Abidjan - The atmosphere is amazing - the cultural and colorful decorations are amazing and takes you to another mood to enjoy the places and definitely take good pictures in every corner. İt is unique, hiding place but very nice and enlightened when you enter. The welcome was amazing at the door, however, the service is a bit disappointing especially that they took a long time to bring the food and the drinks( almost 1hour). Other than this, all was good, and would recommend visiting it by night for dinner - to avoid the heat in the day time since it an open air space.İ highly recommend visiting it and enjoy the diversity in the place.

The decoration is amazing, you are welcomed with a shot of hot pure cocoa chocolate. Food is excellent and cocktails quite original.

Stepping into Bushman Cafe is like stepping into the house of someone who has travelled the world and brought back beauty from every corner of the continent.We were a small group visiting for dinner, one of our members was a band mate and we were invited to play on stage for a few songs. Very impromptu and spontaneous. It was a lovely experience. The food was amazing that evening, and afterwards we received some time with the owner and were treated to a personal tour exploring the whole Restaurant/House. It is an artistic extravaganza of all different mediums and to get to hear and see it through the eyes of the one who curated it was a beautiful exchange.This is an ambiance where the love for art triumphs over perfection. The food was delicious, and we didn’t have any wait time in that regard. For those who did, perhaps you may not be experienced or familiar with the casual or slower pace of some African eateries. This is a meeting place to sit and look someone at the table in the eyes and engage in inspiring conversation. Take in the surrounding beauty, be with the place, and witness some spontaneous magical moments should they arrive.Hats off to the owner and the staff here and wish you the best success and continued fostering of the artists spirit.And, try their chocolate! It’s delicious and top notch!

Note: I have not stayed in the rooms. I have only eaten dinner and come to soirées.Bushman is a rooftop café that serves a variety of local African dishes. The food is very good quality and the ambiance is relaxed. There is frequently live music. It’s an enjoyable place to come for an intimate dinner or an evening with a group of friends. I highly recommend!

No excuse for this very poor welcome. A pure disgrace with no apologies from the owner. Serving customers does not seem to be in their DNA. Incredible wait time, incredible misalignment with customers orders… nothing more to say … flee from this location.

This review is for the restaurant. Hidden gem artsy cafe type vibe. Gallery and unique art on the first few floors. Rooftop restaurant. Grilling all kinds of goodness Comfy. Plants. Grilled food. Fresh. But expensive food. Tamarind and Pineapple and Lime drink is a must.Hope to come back on one of there music nights.

Omg this place is amazing. The staff at the entrance, the art in the building, the servers, the food and the ambiance were all top notch! The gentleman at the front desk who offered me samples of chocolate--delicious! I recommend this location for the staff, delicious food and cocktails, and wonderful ambiance.

Our visit to Bushman Cafe was indeed a great experience. The flavor of the Chicken Papapa was outstanding, offering a memorable culinary adventure. However, it's essential to note that the extended waiting time for our food somewhat overshadowed the positive aspects of our visit. Waiting for over an hour can be challenging in today's fast-paced world where time is of the essence. I'd recommend focusing on improving the efficiency of order fulfillment to enhance the overall customer experience. On a positive note, the artistic ambiance of the place captivated me, resonating with my love for art as a craftsman. Despite the wait, the unique and creative atmosphere at Bushman Cafe left a lasting impression, making it a place I'd still consider revisiting.

I love the aesthetics! Art revolves around the entire place. All kinds of art. I can imagine what working from the bar would be like. It was an all-round positive experience for me and I enjoyed the food. Staff members are friendly and courteous too! Can’t wait to bring my friends!

The Bushman Café in Abidjan offers a unique and memorable experience that extends beyond just dining. This establishment is not only a restaurant but also serves as an art gallery and a chocolate shop, all under one roof. Its rooftop setting provides a stunning ambiance, combining African-inspired décor with a charm. The food, especially the grilled chicken, is highly tasty with its flavors, offering a delightful introduction to Ivorian cuisine.There are some small issues with the service, including delays in food preparation. Despite this, the overall experience is generally positive

Very aesthetically pleasing spot! I enjoyed my time here with family and friends. The food was really tasty, however the grilled fish could have been seasoned a little better. Highly recommend.
