We actually did no eat here, but ordered online. The place is run by a French-Senegalese-Lebanese couple and offers an interesting variety of pizzas. Most of the ones we ordered were tasty, though the thick veggie pizza was quite bland. In any case, best pizza we had in Senegal.

A lot of attention was given to every detail in this newly refurbished location. Once you cross the gate, you enter a garden like patio which leads to the indoor part of the restaurant. All this makes you want to say Yes!!! Even before dinner begins. Very pleasant atmosphere, with good fresh modern Italian kitchen and a good wine selection that goes well with the light ambiance. .I believe Dakar lively restaurant scene has been enhanced by the addition of this newly opened restaurant, I think that in a few months you will need to book well in advance for a table.

This restaurant is located in Point E, a residential and business neighborhood just outside the Plataeu area. The owner is Italian and he creates a great feeling of being at a fun place. There are good wine-based cocktails and other drinks, and a nice place to relax and have a beer, in this airy restaurant. For drinks, great, but a bit pricey. For food, it is about average. I had some sort of fish dish with muscles, and it was decent, but could have been better. Another patron had a fish dish with sauce. Again, a bit bland and could have been better.In general they have a great, chill, cool place here, but what they need to do is get in the kitchen and get the chef going a bit and the place will really take off.

Right next to Ngor beach, this place has a wonderful rooftop patio, mostly foreigners. The food was good - good ceviche and other very local fresh food. Good cocktails and drink menu. Bring a sweater because it can get breezy up on the roof

The place is very nice, for Dakar standards. It feels like a solid place in Europe or in America. Design is clean and servers polite. The food is surprisingly good, as the place looks like a trap. Deserts are also great, specially the Napoleon. But the bill is a bit high, for Dakar prices. Good place, safe place.

Ristorante Tipico del SUD Italia piatti tipici con predominanza pesce fresco che qui non manca, cucinati dalla propietaria in persona lo Chef Francesca
Reviewed By beachbummer75
We came here upon recommendation by friend and didnât regret.It wasnât easy to find as thereâs no signage outside. The wait was long but worth the while. I ordered seafood risotto, Husband ordered seafood pasta - The seafood portions were generous, risotto was flavourful, the pasta was nicely cooked. For the price of 5000-7000cfa, it was really worth it. The setting was quiet and hosts were very friendly. It was definitely a much better food experience than most other restaurants we have been to at unbeatable prices. Highly recommended.

We lived opposite and decide to try this location after hearing great reviewsWe sat next to the pool. It was quiet, clean and no mosquitos. We had 1-1 cocktails which was strong We ordered 2 entrees - cerviche, mussels and ravioli with squid. The courses were served fast, food was flavoured and well plated. Although it was pricer than other restaurants this was worth a visit once a while for a good treat

both the food and staff vary from day to day - but when they're good, they're great! the pizza is decent, as is the gnocci. the gelato is imported from italy i think - DEFINITELY try the blood orange flavor. absolutely great! the owners are super friendly, but some of the other staff are super strange and during the day there's always a strange crew hanging about...
