Akara (Baobab Resort) Restaurant
During my stay at the Lopesan Baobab Resort, I was fortunate enough to dine in their African themed restaurant, the Akara. Located in the central lodge, is an intimate restaurant with only 6 tables. Perfect for a romantic dinner by candlelight. The menu is small but I still didn't know what to order as everything had such an exotic name! We had some appetizers of the house, tempura egg yolk (delicious, I could have eaten 3 or 4 more ...) and sweet potato sorbet, which had a great texture and a sweet taste. We hoped that the main course would match the starter and, boy, did it! We had lamb couscous, though the waiter told us it was pretty spicy.
We decided to risk it and it was a very wise choice. I can only give it a 10 - the most tender lamb, lovely couscous and the sauce was great. Words cannot do it justice. The thought of it still makes my mouth water. A perfect choice if you want to surprise your partner with an intimate evening in a magical setting.
