I have been a loyal customer for years. The Jollof Rice is outstanding, and the hospitality at SamSonRepas is unmatched. Truly feels like home away from home.
The mix of African and Canadian dishes is perfectly balanced. The Maple-Glazed Salmon is a must-try! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Gatineau.
Fantastic food and great service. The Suya spices are authentic and the portions generous. Will definitely come back soon.
From the Plantain Fritters to the Poutine, everything tastes fresh and well prepared. A great place to enjoy diverse flavors.
I love the Egusi Soup and the warm atmosphere. This place brings a wonderful piece of African culture to Canada.
The Fufu with Light Soup was delicious and authentic. The staff was friendly and the restaurant clean and inviting.
Great spot for trying something new! The Canadian Poutine here is also top-notch and the prices are reasonable.
Excellent service and a beautiful blend of African and Canadian cuisine. The menu has something for everyone.
