    Loyo is a casual Ivorian restaurant in Montmartre that looks more like a nightclub than a dining room, which the regulars have clearly decided to ignore. They treat it like their living room and chat with the easygoing staff while portions arrive at a size that suggests nobody here has heard of restraint. Expect coal-roasted chicken under a hill of onion-tomato salad, spicy cod accras, and house-infused rum to start.

    How we score

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Coal-roasted chicken

      “The house special is ostensibly the ultra-savory coal-roasted chicken buried beneath a mountain of mayo-slick onion-tomato salad”

      The Infatuation
    • Charred whole sea bass

      “the charred whole sea bass is the underdog, paired with a fresh tomato-scented salsa that dares to treat onion like a vegetable”

      The Infatuation
    • Cod accras

      “freshly fried cod accras, fluffy pillows of dough that aren't shy with the spice”

      The Infatuation
    • Fried plantains

      “The side of sweet, deep-fried plantains is an absolute must”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
