La Cabane du Pêcheur

We spent five wonderful days in Dakar at La Cabane du Pêcheur. The room was clean and had everything we needed, including a cute balcony. The food and location were excellent. Khalil was very friendly and always very helpful! :) Since there's a bar next door, it was a bit noisy at times in the evenings, but this didn't bother us too much. We'd love to come back soon!

La Cabane du Pêcheur is one of those easy, unpolished gems by the sea. It’s a little tucked away near Ngor beach, but once you get there, it’s rustic tables, feet in the sand, waves crashing in the background. Beach tables fill up quickly so arrive early to avoid disappointment. I had the grilled lobster—fresh and cooked beautifully—but it lacked that garlicky, buttery flavour I was craving. The homemade chips, though, were delicious. Choosing your lobster fresh and seeing it weighed before cooking definitely adds to the experience. The place is popular with families, especially on weekends. It’s a lively, communal, vibe full of local energy. Expect a few craft sellers walking around offering handmade goods and there’s some wonderful art to look at next door. Service is friendly and attentive. It’s the spot for a relaxed lunch or sunset moment. Plus, you can catch a boat across to Ngor Island just steps away for 1,000 CFA round trip. The boats leave frequently and the short ride adds to the bliss of the day. Highly recommended

Nice and cozy place with friendly staff (especially Olivier, he is nice and caring and will help you with everything you need) the rooms are nice and equipped with towels and hand soap. I found some small cockroaches but nothing scary. The prices of the food and drinks are similar to Europe, not especially cheap. You can find a supermarket, an atm, and a taxi stop nearby.

Definitely a place worth visiting. We had cray fish here. Absolutely delicious. You choose your own cray fish from their in-house boat. They weigh it for you and cook for you while you wait. You can also go fishing and bring in your catch and they will cook it for you at a fee and add sides for it. The service was good and the atmosphere was excellent. I mean so long as the beach is by your side and withing your view and reach,how can the atmosphere not be perfect.. Quite a gem and place worth visiting in Dakar.

We're really happy we came here, and we came back again. The food is not cheap but it was very good. There is a nice range of drinks at good prices. Some of the staff were excellent. Outside is a lovely spot by the beach. Do be prepared for lots of vendors trying to sell their wares fairly constantly, but most were very cool. There were also an awful lot of flies inside on the day we ate. Overall, a very relaxed, nice and safe place 👍

The fish at the restaurant is fresh and had a great flavor. Great atmosphere and very kind staff. In the day time it is a wonderful place to chill on the beach and have a coffee.

It's a mix of cosy and authentic. The atmosphere is convivial and relaxing. Nice place to share a meal with friends or colleague. Prices are above average but you got good and fresh products. Lot of seafood but the menu is diversified. All amenities are available. You even have fresh lobster... Smoking is allowed and payment by card is possible. Parking is available outside and it's secure. The front gives on the beach and you got a nice view. The personnel and owners are nice and helpful.

Good food, nice restaurant. A bit more expensive than usual Senegalese prices but still reasonable. Service was good too. Nice view outside
