Restaurants cuisine du monde Senegal

Located very close to the Residence, a local restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. It certainly serves the best yassa chicken in town, but also other Senegalese specialties, such as the excellent tiep bou dieune. You can also be served grilled meat, fish, shrimps and squid. Icing on the cake, you can enjoy a very good couscous! Lobster grilled to order. The setting is simple, perhaps a little dark, but the welcome is nevertheless enthusiastic and smiling. For an authentic lunch.

Between lagoon and ocean, this restaurant enjoys a superb natural setting for lunch. Sitting in the shade of a straw hut, you will eat excellent lobsters to order, mangrove oysters, sea urchins or grilled fish. After you are delighted with hearty dishes, you can enjoy the site and laze peacefully on one of the deckchairs on the edge of the lagoon. The staff is also there with small onions to complete the service. The place is also pleasant at dinner, when the sun disappears behind the ocean.

Chez Kiki is one of those tourist restaurants lined up in front of the pier. A la carte, a wide choice of Senegalese specialties as well as grilled fish and some European dishes. The service is pleasant on the terrace, and the local dishes, as copious as you like them, at very correct prices. We recommend among others grilled sea bream or yassa chicken. You can also have a drink in the afternoon while waiting for the rowboat and enjoy the lively surroundings. Friendly staff, good value for money.

Renowned throughout the city, this restaurant specializing in St. Louisian cuisine is a great place to eat. It is appreciated above all for its generous and quality dishes, at really affordable prices. We particularly recommend the Saint-Louisian-style stuffed fish and garlic shrimp. All of this to be accompanied by a delicious local juice made from ginger, baobab or hibiscus fruit. Perfect to get your strength back! Mamadou Cissé and his team are very warm and caring. To be tested without fail!

The former restaurant of France Gall, who co-managed it with Oumar Traoré, who is still very active on the premises, is a great trendy place and accessible to the smallest purses. You can eat good pancakes and pizzas with your feet in the sand and your eyes lost in the ocean. On the first floor, as close to the sea as possible, deckchairs are installed in case you want to take a little nap after eating. Even if France Gall has left us, we are still waiting for her to come through the door, she who really appreciated this place.

Here is a French-style bar-restaurant, very friendly and convivial. You come here to drink a beer with friends over some tapas offered by the house, celebrate a birthday or simply enjoy a refined family cuisine. From frog's legs to the "fondue bourguignonne", the emphasis is on typical French dishes, concocted with quality products. Also suggestions according to the arrivals and sometimes African dishes. The setting is also pleasant, and the prices are affordable. What more could you ask for?

One of the best tables in the city for its setting as for its plate: designer decoration in shades of mauve, purple and grey, discreet musical atmosphere and fusion cuisine, inspired by French, Japanese, Mexican and Italian cuisine. The menu changes regularly, but we particularly recommend the Italian plate, the thiof pavé on leek fondue or the chili con carne. The plates are delicious and copious, the desserts succulent. Very festive atmosphere at the bar in the evening, especially on Thursdays, from 9.30 pm, with a live concert.

An address held by Cape Verdeans that is always full. The menu resembles a gastronomic atlas, mixing Creole, Senegalese, American and other exotic dishes. Perhaps the best yassa chicken in the Plateau! We also recommend the thiebouyappe, a real treat. If you feel like it, you can order in advance and enjoy a good raclette, sauerkraut and even a duck stew! The hungry will be satiated by the gargantuan portions. In fact, you can take only one dish for two. You can also take it to go.

The restaurant of the hotel Le Flamboyant, just across the street, is an excellent address, especially at lunchtime because the service is fast, you can eat very well, copiously and at reasonable prices. As a bonus, the staff is welcoming. You can opt for the dish of the day or a dish à la carte: we recommend the shrimps sautéed with spices as a starter, the grilled meat and fish and the delicious fresh fruit salad as a dessert. We'll be back here as in the canteen. Sandwiches can be ordered if you are going on an excursion.

It is one of the favourite haunts of the Koreans who meet in the evening when the tourists have left. But the establishment is also a pleasant lunch break, very peaceful, in front of the ocean. The choice is varied, and one eats properly grilled meat and fish, garlic shrimps or Senegalese dishes. The tables are set up on the terrace from where you can watch the departure of the rowboat and also enjoy the view of the beach. Pleasant and smiling staff, fast and professional service.

If you have ever witnessed the return from fishing in Yoff, M'Bour, Saint-Louis or any other large port, you have probably seen its enormous goldfish or yellow fish, carried on their backs so imposing are they. They are endemic carps, of which this restaurant has made its speciality. René Gabriel Sadio prepares here the red carp in the oven (on order), a delight! You will also be able to taste excellent crabs stuffed Casamance-style, a tasty fish braised in the chef's way or roast chicken for those who prefer meat. Good value for money.

This restaurant, open to the ocean, offers a beautiful and relaxing setting for lunch. From filet mignon with pepper to chicken fricassee, from mussels fried with garlic and parsley to pizzas, the choice can be difficult! In all cases, the dishes are hearty and well served. The professional staff takes great care of its customers. Just downstairs, a small artificial beach has been set up with deckchairs for those who would like to sunbathe after a meal. A good address!

With its feet in the sand, facing the ocean, this unpretentious restaurant offers a pleasant setting for lunch.

Also meats such as beef filet and chicken with ginger. Wide selection of sweet and alcoholic beverages. After lunch, deckchairs invite you to relax on this pretty beach, hemmed in by the peaceful water. Excellent value for money.

You will be very welcome in this gargote near the pier, where you can settle down quietly on the terrace. Renowned for its pastels and monkfish dumplings (the best on the island), Tonton offers a varied menu, ranging from pizzas to vegetarian dishes, meat skewers and Senegalese specialities. Special mention should be made of its large prawns, two of which are enough to appease hunger. And if you're feeling hungry, try its orange blossom donuts. A sweet treat!

La Cabane du Pêcheur offers a menu of seafood and fish not often seen on the menu in Dakar: badèche, red carp, carangue, lobsters and sea cicadas. They are caught in the morning and most of them are simply grilled a la plancha. We recommend you have lunch there at noon, between a tour of the village and a trip to the island of the same name. Dinner is just as enjoyable, as it is regularly animated. The house is also a fishing centre (Atlantic Evasion) and has four rooms. An institution of the Senegalese capital!

It's so good to be in Dakar, to discover such corners of paradise! This rooftop restaurant, with an incredible view of the island of Ngor, opened at the end of 2014, and is always full. The Bayékou, which means "let yourself go" in Wolof, really keeps its promise. People come here to relax, thanks to a designer and comfortable decor, and to share a convivial moment with friends. Its owner, Paolo, welcomes you with open arms and offers a menu full of fresh products, a mix of South American and Italian cuisine. A real "coup de coeur".

The restaurant enjoys a splendid setting, with its double terrace, offering a breathtaking view of the island of Gorée. One feels well there, the welcome is warm, and the pizzas are good. What more could you ask for! It is also a sports club, for the most motivated, so you can play football or tennis, before ordering a pastis and eating at this restaurant of international cuisine! You can also watch all the major sporting events on the flat screen, relax on the beach and enjoy the sunset in the evening.

Next to the restaurant Chez Loutcha, a narrow aisle leads to this unpretentious restaurant. From Senegalese dishes to fish grills, pasta and vegetarian dishes, there is a wide choice. You can sit down in the air-conditioned room or on the few tables outside, sheltered from the wind.

You can taste mangrove oysters, sea urchins or Chinese hats, depending on the arrivals and the season... at given prices! And for those who don't fancy seafood and fish, the restaurant also offers frog's legs, grilled rabbit and pigeon, among other meats. The atmosphere is best at the end of the afternoon, when the sun is going to die on the ocean. Popular with locals and tourists alike, the restaurant is often a victim of its own success and the wait can be long. But when the plates arrive, we have already forgotten everything...

A wide variety of excellent pizzas around 4 000 CFA. Also sandwiches and chawarmas. Possibility to be delivered at home, even on significant distances.

This is one of Gorée's most elegant restaurants, a little way off the pier beach, with a lovely palm-tree-lined terrace offering a view of the open sea, away from the hawkers. You're greeted by attentive staff, who can be a little disrespectful when the manager isn't around. The grand slam: the fisherman's plate (lobster, squid, gambas, camerones, monkfish, abalone, violets, limpets...) and a more modest one that you can share to taste these rare but truly delicious crustaceans.

This small restaurant offers first-class African specialities, but also a few European dishes, all very rich. Every day, five to six Senegalese dishes out of the map to discover. Pitcher bissap juice, good wppt bou (rice to fish) and pleasant service. A very good address.

Open since 1997, this small restaurant is much appreciated by the French for the quality of its dishes, the good humor of its owners and its ventilated indoor terrace.

Plates are generous and well presented. Sophie and Charles are welcoming people who also take good care of their customers. Excellent value for money.

Mariatou, a courageous Saint-Louisian who has worked for several years in the kitchen of a hotel, has opened her small restaurant in the working-class neighborhood of Sor. She is helped by a competent and versatile staff. In the small, airy room or on the rooftop terrace, one can enjoy local dishes and European specialties, concocted with fresh market produce. The dishes are both hearty and tasty for a very sweet bill. As an aperitif, let yourself be tempted by the delicious homemade eggplant fritters. A delightful treat!

Here's a very nice little restaurant where it's nice and cool to eat in the shade. It's run by a Senegalese couple, Pintchio and Dady, who give you a warm welcome. There's something for every taste and appetite, from local specialties to European cuisine, including fatayas and chawarmas. More than just a bar-restaurant, it's above all a meeting place for tourists and locals who enjoy talking to each other. At the height of the season, it's not unusual for the bar to host Senegalese parties, often improvised.

The name of this establishment is inspired by the imaginary kingdom of animals in "La belle histoire de Leuk-le-Lièvre", written by Senegalese authors Léopold Sédar Senghor and Abdoulaye Sadji. Two bars and a restaurant are scattered in this large open-air space. One comes there to have a drink with friends in an authentic and warm atmosphere or to eat grilled meats, fish brochettes and Senegalese specialties.

This restaurant, with its feet in the sand, offers good plates but some of them are quite expensive. We enjoy the setting, under the straw hut, and sometimes a very cheesy atmosphere. A man-band comes there to sing covers sometimes. Seafood platter for two with lobsters to order. The cheapest rooms are very decent, clean, air-conditioned, with a small terrace facing the ocean, but often full. Remember to book.

This large straw hut in the centre of the village is pleasant for dinner in the evening, and offers honest classic dishes (grilled fish, monkfish kebabs...), as well as European dishes of no interest. We like to go there in the evenings, to do some dance steps for dessert and meet the local people. Behind the restaurant, there are about ten rooms, some of which are air-conditioned, with basic comfort, in a setting without any particular charm. However, they can be an address of passage for small budgets.

Here is a very simple restaurant, prized by locals and expatriates alike for its generous dishes of the day, between fresh fish and braised meats.
