Bar Restaurant Amanar
Our favourite restaurant in Timbuktu, Amanar has a mellow atmosphere with a soundtrack of Malian blues (think Ali Farke Touré and Tinariwen), chilled and friendly waiters and a small and intimate garden. They do all the travellers' staples, but the soups are outstanding. Right outside the door stands the Flamme de la Paix monument and the Sahara. From Thursday to Saturday, they stay open late as a lively bar with a DJ from 22:30.

Patisserie Asco
The friendly Patisserie Asco does a range of pastries, the croissants are dense and stodgy, but their local specialties (Tuareg, Songhaï and Arab) are excellent. The riz alabadja (rice, cow butter, meat and lemon) is a highlight. The only drawback are the hangers-on who seem to appear whenever tourists do.

Restaurant Poulet d'Or
This is a popular (and recommended) travellers' restaurant, which does the usual chicken and chips, brochettes, rice, meat and sauce, but they do they them particularly well - also look out for some more adventurous dishes (like roast goat), which might need ordering in advance.
