Chez Houssou

Benin


This unpretentious maquis, with no more than a couple of wooden benches, is famous for one thing and one thing only: porc grillé sauce sang (grilled pork cooked in a blood sauce). Houssou cuts morsels of pork, puts them in a mud-brick oven, and then serves them on a small plate – it can't get more authentic than that.
