Chez Loutcha
The thiéboudienne institution: the national dish (fish, rice, tamarind) done right, in a no-frills Plateau room.

Where to eat in Dakar
Dakar eats brilliantly: thiéboudienne (the national dish), French-Senegalese bistros, beach grills. Real places, honest prices in CFA.
Photos for Dakar are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
Senegalese
La Calebasse
The classic: yassa, mafé, grilled fish in a garden setting. The business-lunch standard for decades.
By the water
Le Baobab
The Almadies beach grill: the catch of the day, toes in the sand, the sunset. The Dakar evening.
French-Senegalese
La Fourchette
The old French bistro: steak-frites, proper wine, the expat-local mix. Reliable for decades.
