    Saint Père is a cheap, counter-service Ivorian spot on the stretch of Boulevard de Strasbourg where every other storefront sells fish or chicken, and the awning outside says l'Espérance, which helps nobody. The poulet braisé comes off the coals heavy with garlic and chile, over rice cooked in its own drippings. The ginger juice is sweet enough to count as dessert, and the line out the door has opinions about all of it.

    • Poulet braisé

      “Saint Père, whose awning confusingly reads l’Espérance, is a go-to for poulet braisé, an Ivorian delicacy cooked over "braises" (a.k.a.”

      The Infatuation
    • Ginger juice

      “Level it up with some not-too-hot sauce piquante before washing it down with housemade ginger juice that hits the throat with pleasant heat and is sweet enough to double as dessert.”

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.
