Voila. Just a day after I made the above statement I found another chain here. I went down near Grenoble for a meeting and next door was Le Bodegon Colonial. It was a colonial African theme restaurant. This has got to really upset all the Africans who are living here now. But I digress.
The menu showed about 16 restaurants in France. It was pretty strange for France. The waitresses wore colonial getup with pith helmets. The food was a bit gamy (drumshot), but OK in general. It seemed almost Disney-like. So I wouldn't recommend it unless you have kids who want to be entertained.
