The 17 Best Restaurants in Dakar, Senegal | Eater

"It’s easy to become a regular at Kotao Coffee, especially since brunch is served every day. At two locations, one in Plateau and one in Les Almadies, the cafe offers relaxing vibes paired with fresh, homemade goods. Everything on the menu may sound tempting, but go for hits like the perky, savory waffle topped with avocado, turkey bacon, poached eggs, and creamy lemon sauce, or the bo-bun bowl with rice vermicelli, stir-fried beef, onions, and crushed peanuts. You don’t want to miss the banana bread with chocolate chips or the caramel macchiato." - Yasmine Fofana

The portions are generous, and some dishes really offer great value. The burger is my top pick: juicy, flavorful, with delicious homemade chips. The Caesar salad is also great , and the salmon poke was okay but a bit lacking in flavor. The macchiato is always a reliable pick me up and the freshly squeezed orange juice is a great brunch add-on. I did try the American breakfast once and didn’t enjoy it—it felt underwhelming compared to the rest of the menu but it’s not a reason to not come back. Service is prompt, friendly and helpful. The ambiance is gorgeous and the place is very popular which is a great sign! Definitely recommended

Delicious and refreshing smoothie 😍 the entire space is outside but it is well shaded so it doesn’t get too hot. There’s also fans going around so it brings the heat down. Good space to work as well!

This cafe is a short walk to/from the U.S. Embassy, a grocery store and the sea. The cafe is comfortable and intimate. However it does not strike me as a cafe where you could work and study. I didn’t see outlets or tables appropriate for working on a computer or writing. I ordered a snack - a slice of pineapple cake and a cup of cappuccino. The cake was dry. In fact, the texture of the cask was thick like bread. I did not enjoy this item. It cost 2 thousand cifa. I do not recommend the dry (or stale) pineapple cake/bread. The cappuccino was decent. I prefer dark roast coffee with body ody ody, but this coffee was bland and without nuance. Nevertheless it served its purpose by washing down the dry cake/bread. The customer service was relatively good. Meaning the employees seemed to work well together and they were kind to customers. However they should not have served that dry cake. I will neither return nor recommend this venue, but if you are jonsing for a cup of coffee and anything will do, then go to Kotao Coffee.

Loved the food here. The taste, the presentation, the huge portion sizes. Some meals actually come with drinks so be sure to check before you purchase drinks on the side. The service was also on point and our waiter could speak English as well so made ordering easy. Awesome place to have breakfast and brunch. Highly recommend!

Delightfully curated spot in the middle of town, with only 2 vegan dishes, both highly recommended- the falafel quinoa bowls. The juices are off- the- charts rich and thrumming with a melange of contrasting flavors-and then you can check out the organic food store and art gallery in the complex.

Very beautiful restaurant with unique design and oriental vibe. Staff is very nice and friendly. The food came pretty quickly and it was delicious. The plate looked amazing. I strongly recommend visiting this cafe.

Their “Burger by Kotoa” is better than 90% of burgers in America. In my top five burgers ever. Mostly because it was so unexpectedly good. I always avoid western food when I’m traveling but this was the perfect place to be proven wrong. The accompanying fries with that special sauce the perfect side kick. The only thing as good as the burger was the wifi and the vibes 😏

Took a walk to this coffee and brunch spot and it was totally worth it. The service was great, the staff speaks French, English and Spanish. The food was delicious, healthy and good portion. I had the egg bowl and enjoyed it. The avocado spread was very good to add to the bowl. The salmon was nice and the tomatoes were my favorite part. We also had the energy breakfast. The peanut butter banana toast with chocolate chips was my favorite. The yogurt with granola was also very good. And of course the avocado toast with egg was also delicious. Great outdoor seating space with seashells on the floor. Good wifi speed 8mbps on the outdoor terrace so you might be able to work a bit from here as well. We will definitely be back and I will update this review when we try more items on the menu.
