The best restaurants Senegal

This restaurant, run by brothers, exudes good humour and conviviality. Without any pretension, you can sit on the terrace or in the restaurant room to enjoy a plate of fish, meat or shellfish (lobster, shrimps) in all simplicity. The warmth of the restaurant and its copious dishes are a large part of its reputation. It is not uncommon to come back several times in the same stay, so much one eats there well and at low prices!

This great restaurant, renowned for its low-price menus, offers a great menu: large salads, fish tartars, pastas, burgers, meats, wood-fired pizzas... Lunch and dinner menus are renewed weekly. Owner Denis offers very attractive prices for Saly. Le Petit Zing features a spacious, airy dining room and shaded terrace. Musical evenings and fashion shows are regularly organized, with locals, residents and tourists alike coming to enjoy the atmosphere. A great address!

The best restaurant in Cape Town! After a culinary apprenticeship in Cape Town, various collaborations with Italian pizza makers and a few internships in France, Adrien serves up excellent cross-cultural cuisine in his restaurant-bar-pizza-caterer-glacier. We recommend the chef's speciality, stuffed crabs, tasty and spicy. Also on the menu are beef stew, monkfish blanquette and captain's fillets. The homemade desserts are just as succulent. At the end of the meal, it's not unusual for Adrien to come and greet his customers, for personalized service!

First of all, a very warm welcome from Cédric and Christophe, who run their establishment very well. Bistro-style cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Le Kermel is a Dakar landmark, just a stone's throw from the market of the same name, which is a must-see. Daily lunch menu or bistro menu, Parisian sandwiches at the counter, tapas platters on the terrace, or in the dining room where you'll find a wide choice of traditional dishes like foie gras from the "Gers", duck confits, as well as local fish: thiofs soles, cuttlefish, turbot...

Located in the gardens of the French Institute, the establishment is an institution in Dakar, a small and quiet Eden in the middle of the Plateau. The setting is exceptional thanks to the huge cheese maker that provides shade, the tasty and creative Franco-Senegalese cuisine, including salads and fish dishes. Barbecues, theme buffets or brunches are also regularly organised, offering a friendly atmosphere, as are the musical aperitifs held every opening night. You can also come and have a drink, the bar serves excellent local juices.

Superb address in Saly, very well placed right in the center, opposite the craft village. Aziz, the owner, is very kind and attentive to his customers' needs. In the kitchen, the French chef concocts all kinds of salads, wood-fired pizzas, pasta and ravioli, pork, beef, home fries, seafood, fish and other suggestions. The motto of Aziz and the staff is: "Chez Nous, we treat friends like family and family like friends". That says it all about the quality of this restaurant, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

On the north shore of Lake Rose. A large family box with 2 rooms, 3 individual boxes which can accommodate up to people. Night with breakfast at CFAF 12 000 per person, half board

17 000 FCFA, full pension to CFAF 22 000 (CFAF 7 500 for children). This house is a jewel of simplicity in the heart of nature, between the green of the banana trees, bougainvillea purple, the gold of the dune to which it is anchored, the rose rose, the blue of the ocean… Basketry, pottery, dyed fabrics, mats and wrought iron made up of the decoration and adding to the serenity of the squares with common toilets. The picture is in the picture of the places: simple but excellent. Tempête in the evening for boxes, solar energy for public areas. From the panoramic terrace, you have a beautiful view over the lake. The establishment, which belongs to the Origin'Africa agency, offers different formulas ranging from the rental of the cottage in exclusivity for 24 h between 75 000 FCFA and CFAF 95 000 up to seven nights (420 000 FCFA) for up to 14 people.

In this pleasant restaurant, well visible from the street, you can have lunch of a cheap and delicious dish of the day, and if you stay in Oussouye, you can order a Senegalese dish or game meat, the speciality of the restaurant. Paulin Diabone knows good hunters in the region who regularly bring him back rabbits, beavers, gazelles, various bushmeat... Enjoy! If you would like to meet the King of Oussouye, you can ask Paulin, who is a member of the royal family.

The Miam Miam restaurant enjoys an exceptional setting, located in the splendid green and well maintained Aida Gardens. The menu is varied, you can enjoy traditional Senegalese dishes or Asian dishes such as Chinese fondue; there is something for everyone! The staff is smiling and caring for its customers. The quality-price ratio is quite reasonable, the establishment also proposes delicious desserts, including irresistible home-made ice creams and a rum baba to lick your fingers!

It comes from the world in the morning, attracted by the aroma of coffee, the real thing. For the traveller who has spent his time drinking hectolitres of instant and rather tasteless beverage, this is no small feat. One also comes here to have lunch in a magnificent flowered garden where a host of birds have taken up residence. A real corner of freshness where you can enjoy good little dishes such as a grilled prime rib. Couleur Café also has five rooms at the back of the garden, with satellite TV, running water, electricity and toilets.

Farid remains the reference of Lebanese cuisine in Dakar. In a chic and pleasant setting, the healthy and quality cuisine is served in the air-conditioned room or in the shade of the parasols on the terrace. You will be able to revel in Lebanese dishes such as homos, grand mezze, kibbi, or minced lamb meat. Special mention to the "flat" sharwarma, fresh and tasty as you wish! If oriental cuisine does not tempt you, international specialties, seafood, or typical Senegalese dishes are also served.

Near the post office, this local restaurant is always full for lunch and dinner. With friends or family, Saint-Louisians come here to enjoy hamburgers, Senegalese or international specialties. We recommend stuffed crabs, sea bream or grilled captain. The service is good, the rates are attractive and the owner, when he is there, takes good care of his customers. In the afternoon you can also come here to taste pancakes or delicious pastries and viennoiseries, accompanied by a local juice, tea or coffee.

Located in an idyllic setting by the sea, this lounge restaurant, with its chic and tasteful decoration, offers an ideal and relaxing break to enjoy a refined and varied cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and friendly: Zeina and her team will quickly put you at ease. As for the menu, it is surprising in creativity, from meats imported from Brazil and others to fish and shellfish from the day's fishing. Also succulent seafood platters, salads and suggestions from the chef. High quality reception and service.

A terrace with ocean view allows you to taste French-Belgian specialities in a relaxing setting. Taste the rabbit in Flemish or the famous carbonade. Lovers of beer (Belgian of course!) will be happy.

Great choice in this restaurant located on the road to Saint-Louis, just after the town hall roundabout. Pasta, omelettes, pizzas, grills, oriental and asian specialties, salads, fish, sandwiches, hamburgers. But also viennoiseries and pastries dripping with cream... for lovers of French-style sweets. The quality is there, tender meat, morning fish and Josephine, the owner, welcomes you with a smile. A good lunch break before following the road to Saint-Louis.

An idyllic setting, succulent dishes, all in a subdued atmosphere facing the ocean. The restaurant de la Paillote is one of the best in the area! You will be personally welcomed by Christian, the owner, a Frenchman from Ziguinchor who takes great care of his customers. The menu offers a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to fish and pasta dishes, each one as excellent as the next. There is also a copious menu where lobster is king. Perfect for a romantic meal!

Along the main road, this local restaurant is a real institution in Nianing! Expatriates, locals and tourists meet there for a drink or a hearty meal, in a good mood. The menu offers both a wide choice of drinks, between local juices, house cocktails and various wines, as well as a variety of dishes, each as appetizing as the other. You will be able to taste wood-fired pizzas, grilled thiof with herbs, a good zebu filet or generous Senegalese dishes. A must try if you are in the area!

After 10 years in Gabon, Marc Thibaudeau, formerly owner of the Papayer discotheque in Saint-Louis, has opened this small bar-restaurant in the former café of the Harmattan hotel. The outdoor terrace, the only one in town, is a pleasant place to relax and enjoy a drink. You can also enjoy tapas, homemade burgers, a good monkfish tartare au couteau or a delicious shrimp curry with coconut milk. In the evening, the bar offers a trendy atmosphere where locals, expatriates and tourists mingle. Try one of the owner's tasty arranged rums!

Located on the edge of the ocean, in a beautiful colonial house, the restaurant offers local cuisine and a few French specialities. The clientele is cosmopolitan. At lunchtime there are employees who work in the nearby industrial area, but also the people of the club, the military and the sailors who have been landed. A varied card and affordable prices if you don't make madness.
