During my trip to Paris, I knew I absolutely had to check out some black-owned restaurants, and…read moreGumbo Yaya was first on my list! When we arrived, it was a bit small on the inside, almost where you had to get up to let someone else from another table out, but I was just glad to be here. We found the service to be lackluster, and although we eventually recognized that gumbo yaya was just the name, it was disappointing not to be able to have any actual gumbo that night. The decor and theme of the restaurant were so cute, and I loved the hip-hop and musical touches around. Coming from the States, when we see fillet on the menu, we often associate it with fish, so since individuals in the group were pescatarian, we thought it would be great for us all, as it was inclusive. But we quickly realized that fillet there was just a chicken breast, so from that, the menu just proved to be very limiting with basically just chicken, waffles, and a few soul food sides. I did decide on the chicken, waffles, yams, and the sweet tea, and I thought everything was pretty good, but it wasn't what I hoped it would be. But regardless, I'm glad we got to try a black-owned restaurant in Paris.
