Always searching for new ethnic dining experiences, we ventured to Aurora to try cuisine from Senegal. Our good friends Alexandre Philippe and Vanessa Bogehold took us to Le Baobab African Restaurant at 1447 Florence St. They were our guides to this delightful French-speaking family restaurant. An adorable toddler greeted us as we sat down in what felt like the owner's dining room. The little girl sat in my lap as I scanned the menu. Since most of Le Baobab's business appears to be take-out, we were the only customers.
We started the meal with an order of plantains and a round of ginger drinks. Freshly crushed ginger juice came in a pitcher and was refreshingly strong. I ordered a chicken (dark meat) and vegetable combination with couscous and the others tried the lamb dishes. All were tasty, cooked to order and very filling.
We were told that on occasion Senegalese music and dancing accompany a meal at Le Baobab. I highly recommend this African adventure in Aurora.
