Maquis Le Sole Plus

Maquis Le Sole Plus has operated in the heart of Treichville for well over a decade and built a citywide reputation around a single specialty: huge, melting-tender sole, grilled or braised whole and served with a simple onion-and-tomato sauce plus a choice of alloco, attiéké, or yam. The maquis follows the classic red-and-white color scheme typical of the genre, with an open-air dining room, a covered terrace, and a smaller air-conditioned interior room for those wanting shelter from the heat. Because of its long-standing popularity, a wait for a table is common, particularly during peak lunch and dinner hours, and regulars know to arrive slightly ahead of the rush. Prices are moderate for the size of the portions, with a full sole plate typically 4,000-9,000 XOF, reflecting both the fish's size and the maquis's established reputation. The atmosphere is lively and communal, consistent with Treichville's identity as one of Abidjan's classic maquis neighborhoods. For visitors wanting to taste one of the most talked-about specific dishes in the city's maquis scene, Le Sole Plus is worth the trip and the wait.
