An allocodrome in Plateau Dokui in northern Cocody, grilling fish and chicken and frying plantain from midday until 23:00. It serves a residential district well away from the tourist end of the city.
Allocodrome du Plateau Dokui serves the residential quarter of Plateau Dokui in northern Cocody, well away from the tourist-facing addresses closer to the lagoon, making it a genuinely local rather than visitor-oriented street-food stop. As with other allocodromes, the format is a cluster of competing stands frying alloco and grilling fish and chicken to order, served with attiéké at plastic-table seating alongside the grills. Service here runs a long single stretch, from midday to 23:00, rather than the split lunch-and-dinner pattern of sit-down restaurants, so it functions as a snack, lunch and dinner option depending on the time of visit. Prices sit around 8,000 XOF per person, somewhat higher than the most basic allocodromes but still well below any restaurant format in this guide. Because it serves a residential district rather than a commercial or hotel zone, it gives a more authentic picture of everyday Ivorian street food than the more visited stands closer to central Cocody, though it also means less English is likely to be spoken by vendors.
