Le Youkounkoun fine dining
Le Youkounkoun 1965

An exceptional culinary experience,
around a distinguished table in the heart of the capital.

Our Story

A legacy of taste,
heritage & prestige.

The name was born in cinema — from a scene in Gérard Oury's 1965 masterpiece Le Corniaud, where Louis de Funès announces the world's most precious diamond, hidden in plain sight. Like the treasures of African cuisine: always present, waiting to be discovered.
