## Where it is, in plain terms

The most reliable piece of location data repeated across sources is the map code “8JW6+HX5” in Parakou. That format is typically used for map-based navigation when a street number or formal address line isn’t consistently published. Africa Online

Practical implication: when you navigate, use the exact code (8JW6+HX5) and the city (Parakou) rather than trying to reconstruct a street name.

## Opening hours and what that means for planning

Multiple listings show 08:00 to 22:00 every day. Africa Online

That gives you three useful planning windows:
– Late breakfast / early lunch: arriving soon after opening can help you avoid peak dining noise and heat (a common comfort factor in West African cities, though conditions vary by season and venue).
– Mid-afternoon stop: if you’re looking for a sit-down break between errands or transit connections.
– Dinner window: you’ve got a long runway until 22:00—helpful if your day runs late.

### Outdated-data flag (important)
Hours and phone numbers are high-churn details for restaurants everywhere. One menu directory shows a “last update” timestamp (by a user) in January 2026, which signals that at least some info may be crowd-maintained rather than official. Re-check the day you go. – Restaurant & Menus

## Contact details you can use

The phone number +229 90 91 12 80 appears consistently on multiple directories. Africa Online

If you call, keep it simple:
– Ask whether they’re open right now
– Confirm kitchen closing time (sometimes earlier than venue closing time)
– If you’re going in a group, ask if they can hold a table

## What to expect (only what’s stated online, with attribution)

One travel/restaurant listing describes La Face Douane as having:
– service “from breakfast to dinner”
– a selection of beers, wines, and cocktails
– the possibility of outdoor dining
– an option framed as delivery/takeout

Because these are claims made by a third-party listing, the most accurate way to treat them is:
– These features are described online, but they are not independently verified here.

### Menu certainty check
A menu directory explicitly says it does not currently publish a menu for La Face Douane and will add one if available later. So: don’t assume you can pre-plan dishes from a posted menu. – Restaurant & Menus

## Getting there without friction

Because the location is presented as a map code rather than a full street address, your most reliable tactics are:
– Paste “8JW6+HX5, Parakou, Benin” directly into your map app. Africa Online
– If you’re asking for directions locally, the name “La Face Douane” plus the code can help reduce ambiguity. Africa Online

If you’re traveling with limited data, take a screenshot of the code and the name before you leave Wi-Fi.

## Inclusivity and accessibility notes (what we can and can’t claim)

What I can’t state as fact from the sources above:
– Step-free access, restroom accessibility, seating ergonomics
– Quiet seating availability
– Payment methods (cash vs card)
– Allergy handling processes
– Language service levels

What you can do to reduce risk (universally practical, not venue-specific):
– If you have mobility needs: call and ask if there are stairs at the entrance and whether there’s an accessible toilet.
– If you have allergies: ask whether the kitchen can avoid specific ingredients and whether cross-contact is possible.
– If you rely on card payments: ask what forms of payment are accepted before you arrive.

If you want, I can instantly add them once you tell me the correct URLs for:
– your Parakou city guide (or Benin hub page), and
– your Benin travel tips / food & drink page (or a West Africa hub).
