Casa
Teranga
is
hands
down
my
best
restaurant
experience
as
a
vegan
in
Dakar
(and
maybe
anywhere).
After
starting
to
follow
them
online
even
before
I
moved
to
the
city,
and
enjoying
their
updates,
I
visited
the
restaurant
on
their
soft
launch
day,
feeling
excited
like
a
kid
on
Christmas
Eve.
Everything
about
the
place
was
wonderful.
First,
the
setting.
I
had
seen
the
pictures
and
videos
online,
but
I
still
had
a
huge
smile
on
my
face
as
I
walked
up
the
colorful
stairs
and
discovered
the
gorgeous
outdoor
space,
and
the
incredible
view.
Casa
Teranga
offers
one
of
the
most
picturesque
settings
I've
seen
in
Dakar
so
far.
Then,
the
people.
The
owners
were
very
nice
and
friendly,
and
it
was
a
pleasure
to
chat
with
them.
It
really
felt
like
I
was
visiting
friends
for
an
evening
at
their
place,
and
I
enjoyed
how
welcoming
everyone
was.
We
also
share
a
lot
of
values,
and
I
admire
their
emphasis
on
zero-waste
cooking,
whole
food
ingredients,
recycling,
and
overall
cooking
and
eating
in
a
way
that
doesn't
harm
the
planet
(or
animals,
obviously).
And
of
course,
the
food!
I
didn't
take
any
pictures,
eager
as
I
was
to
try
it,
but
it
was
beautiful
and
delicious.
I
went
with
a
friend
and
we
shared
a
bit
of
each
other's
plate.
I
got
the
jollof
bowl,
while
she
got
the
hummus
bowl,
and
both
were
great.
What
I
loved
about
it
was
that
it
really
tasted
like
a
home-cooked
meal,
with
fresh,
local
ingredients,
but
also
that
the
dishes
were
balanced.
No
starch
overload
like
it's
often
the
case
in
vegan
restaurants,
but
a
generous
combination
of
cereals,
legumes,
and
veggies.
Highly,
highly
recommended!
