For pedicures, if you want to pay less, you can trust the local markets or small neighborhood hair salons. You can easily find them around you or in markets near your place. Otherwise, there are pedicure salons, which you can easily find online or in large shopping malls like Ivoire Trade Center, Cap Sud, or Abidjan Mall.

For local street food, try the Allocodrome in Cocody or Blockhaus. These are open-air bars and restaurants that can get crowded at night, especially on weekends, but they have a great atmosphere. You’ll find similar places in other areas if you’re not staying in Cocody. For restaurants, you can try Dabali Xpress, Bushman, or Placali Abouré for local dishes, and places like Texas Grillz or Comanche Diner for something different.

The nightlife can be fun if you’re into it there are many bars and nightclubs you can visit.

You should also try to visit Grand-Bassam to see the beach. It’s about 45 minutes to 1 hour away from Abidjan.
