Where to eat — restaurants, cafés and Senegalese flavours

A food scene worth discovering

Dakar is one of West Africa's great culinary capitals: refined tables along the Corniche, grilled fish in Ngor and Yoff, cafés and patisseries in the Plateau, world cuisines in Almadies. In Saly, beachfront restaurants complete the seaside experience.

Taste Senegal

Don't leave without trying thieboudienne — the national fish-and-rice dish, inscribed on UNESCO's heritage list —, chicken yassa marinated in lemon and onions, mafé in its peanut sauce, or a chilled glass of bissap. Most referenced establishments serve these classics.
