A
Le Pilier
Hands down, this is the place for fine Italian fare. Enjoy a plethora of pastas, ranging from various raviolis to lasagne and even gnocchi dripping in gorgonzola. Dine in their air-con equipped lounge, within the vibrant courtyard terrace, or downstairs in the Taverne (evenings only), which serves great pizza.

Le Diamangou
Put aside your fear and grumbling insides to walk the plank out to this established boat restaurant. The views can't be beat, and the lemon chicken and other fare aren't bad either. Like La Flottile, this place isn't in the safest neck of the woods, so arrange a taxi after sunset.

Chocolat Raffine
This cafés menu is laden with French treats like croque monsieur, crêpes and chocolat mousse. While most hit their mark, others remind you that you're in Niamey and not Paris. It's often closed for short periods during the day.

La Flottile
The shady garden confines of this friendly restaurant, west of Palais du Congrés, are a perfect place to indulge in some of the Niger River's tastiest fish. The capitaine (Nile perch) is excellent. It's not safe to walk here after sunset, so organise a taxi.

Bada Restaurant
Put your chop sticks in the kung fu position and go to battle with everything from tempura vegetables and roasted eel to fresh sashimi and sushi. When we arrived, three of Niamey's temporary Japanese contingent were leaving, oh so happy and full as eggs.

Le Dragon d'Or
Slurp delicious Vietnamese pho (a noodle soup with coriander, bean sprouts and beef), sharpen your teeth on frog legs, or work your chopstick magic on tasty stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts and fresh ginger. The Saturday night buffet is also superb.

La Cascade
With friendly service and great Italian, French and Lebanese fare, this restaurant is justifiably popular with expats, travellers and well-to-do locals. We'll let you decide which is cheesier, the delicious pizza or the artificial waterfall…

This Ivorian-style open-air restaurant has a varied menu including brochette de capitaine, crevette grillé (grilled prawns) and, if you're game, agouti braisé (grilled grasscutter rat).

Byblos
This great Lebanese restaurant, with thatched garden pavilions and open-air ambience, has some of the best tabouleh and hummus in Niger. It's on the pricey side, but its large set meals for two people are decent value.

Le Pizzeria
The pizzas here are excellent - a bit pricey, but they're much larger than what you'll get elsewhere. It's in the heart of town and is a good place to line the stomach before dancing the night away.

Restaurant Baobab
A short walk from the Grand Marché, this Senegalese place is perfect for a pre- or post-shopping feed. It's usually packed with locals, so share a table and practice your French.

Le Shanghai
While Le Shanghai's Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine is of a similarly high standard to that of Le Dragon d'Or, it lacks the same garden ambience.
