Le Cabanon Dakar

Le Cabanon is hands-down my go-to place in Dakar. I come here 3–4 times a week to watch the waves, the surfers, and the sunset—it’s just a beautiful, comfortable and relaxing spot. The food is great—especially the pain perdu (French toast), which is an absolute must-try. Everything is served fresh and with care. The staff are always warm and welcoming, and there’s always someone nearby if you need anything. Compared to other restaurants along the coast, Le Cabanon stands out as the best by far. I also love the little detail of being offered a chocolate at the till when you leave—it’s a sweet, thoughtful touch that wraps up the experience perfectly and always makes me smile. If you’re into art, you’ll definitely appreciate the unique decor and creative atmosphere. Thank you for Le Cabanon!

Beautiful outdoor space to enjoy the ocean and delicious food. The drinks and dishes were all well prepared. Though the price is a bit high, the taste was great. Customer service was great. Atmosphere was great. We were also offered handmade chocolate morsels on our way out.

Beautiful ocean facing view. Mesmerizing and enchanting especially if you plan to have an early breakfast or brunch. The staff is well trained and polite. Food was ok we'd brunch. Drinks were mediocre and could improve those for sure. They over charge for a 500 ml water bottle though. Would recommend specially for the great view and vibe.

This was my first time visiting the country and this was hands down the best restaurant I’ve experienced while touring. The food is absolutely fantastic. The view is phenomenal and our servers were polite and kind. I truly enjoyed myself, 100% recommend!!

It was quite pleasant, the only bad point was bees and flies that were revolving around, but the place is nice, a typical beach vibe with an incredible view of the ocean. Must try !

Really nice location by the sea and the staff were super attentive and friendly! However, if I lived in Dakar this would turn into the spot I’d visit for a couple of drinks instead because it’s super pricey and I’d struggle to see the value if I visited for food. I was shocked the bill came to the same average price as a high end restaurant in London!!

Nice place right on the ocean to dine and watch the sunset. Good service and food. Very pricey.

The table alongside the sea brings quite good atmosphere. I ordered a sea bream and a beef. The sea bream come with different taste while mix the different source on top, in general is ok. The beef is so so, soft enough but that is it. A bit surprise come from the bowl of “rice”, or maybe cuscus. But the color is differ from the cuscus which I used to, which is yellow. The cheese cake is good also. At last come with ATTAYA, too sweet…
