L'Équateur

Situated on Rue Saint Maur in Paris, this African restaurant celebrates the cuisine of Cameroon and Senegal. The menu features a number of dishes made with traditional African ingredients such as maffe (peanut) and bitterleaf. Flag, a popular Senegalese beer, is offered as an accompaniment to meals. The atmosphere is lively and relaxed; a decidedly casual dining area complete with murals, Christmas lights, and assorted plants sets a casual, welcoming tone. Live music lends an authentic aura to the spot, transporting diners to Africa.
