    (Translated by Google) 15 days of vacation, my wife and I went around the restaurants as dramatic as the Almadies through the terrible lalla beach club (if you want to commit suicide go to the lalla beach club) Today, Wednesday, September 11, 2019 we decide to go settle some papers in Dakar plateau, we park our car l 4 × 4 toyota in front of the famous restaurant KERMEL ... (Market kermel) so we decide to eat at the kermel .... or the big surprise, an exceptional welcome from the staff, and the owner Cédric and Nicolas. After a very nice aperitif, we ate French mimosas egg, a rabbit terrine, a fish carpaccio and then a dish we ate Lacquered pork knuckle and thiof back with a very good bottle of red wine from Provence. KERMEL is the best Dakar restaurant in the French style, one of the best restaurants in Dakar. Personal 10/10 Direction 10/10 Kitchen 10/10 A beautiful experience to live ☺️ (Original) 15 jours de vacances , ma femme et moi avons fait le tour des restaurants aussi dramatique l'un que l'autre des Almadies en passant par le terrible lalla beach club (si vous voulez vous suicidé aller au lalla beach club) Aujourd'hui , mercredi 11 septembre 2019 nous décidons d'aller régler quelques papiers à Dakar plateau , nous garons notre voiture l 4×4 toyota devant le célèbre restaurant le KERMEL ...( Marché kermel ) du coup nous décidons d'aller manger au kermel ....ou la grande surprise , un accueil exceptionnel du personnel , et du propriétaire Cédric et Nicolas . Après un apéritif bien sympathique , nous avons mangé œuf mimosas à la française , une terrine de lapin , un carpaccio de poisson ensuite en plat nous avons mangé Jarret de porc laqué et dos de thiof avec une très bonne bouteille de vin rouge de Provence. Le KERMEL est le meilleur restaurant de Dakar dans le style très français , un des meilleurs restaurants de Dakar . Personnels 10/10 Direction 10/10 Cuisine 10/10 Une belle expérience à vivre ☺️

    Great experience, food is really tasty! Typical French bistrot cuisine. We had trouble choosing for a wine and the owner was really patient explaining to us the differences between each one of them. We ended up choosing his recommendation and were all unanimously gladly surprised. A good wine starts around 15.000cfa. it's really worth it is not the usual c*** you can find around. A really good experience we are certainly coming back!

  • 3/5 Andra B. 1 year ago on Google • 209 reviews
    Disapointed about this restaurant. We took the plat du jour and the food tasted really old. The chicken and potatoes were dry and old. We were the 2nd of January, so we most probably ate the new year's eve leftovers. What a shame, as the expectations were high. The service was good though.

    I ordered the calamari twice within a span of 4 days, tasted quite different the 2nd time around, notnsure what that was about lol. Still a cool place, location is a bit unpleasent by the market but still a nice place to go.

    A french restaurant and bar with a relaxed atmosphere and good food at reasonable prices. The service was attentive but not intrusive and the menu has a good range of food. We had a very enjoyable evening.

    A quiet little restaurant and bar separated by a fake stained glass window. Expect some old french guys drinking beer and smoking at the bar. Pretty good choice of belgian beers (slightly pricey, but expectably so).

    (Translated by Google) Excellent French restaurant (and not a bad German counterpart) where you are welcomed by smiling, efficient and diligent staff. As a bonus, a very good coffee (good to highlight in Dakar) The original decor is perfectly adapted. An address to remember! And on the sidewalk opposite, a market with real flowers! (Original) Excellent restaurant français (et non pas une mauvaise contrepèterie allemande ) où vous êtes accueillis par un personnel souriant, efficace et diligent. En bonus, un très bon café (bon à souligner à Dakar ) Le décor d'origine est parfaitement adapté. Une adresse à retenir ! Et sur le trottoir d'en face, un marché avec de vraies fleurs !

    Very very very recommended place. The manager is one of the kindest person I met in Dakar. The prices are very fair and we really regret that we found this place on our last day of our stay.

    (Translated by Google) What I expect from this kind of place is conviviality, simplicity, sharing with people who are happy to be there and who make it known. That's what I found at the kermel. Remarkably, I shared a drink with a friend in the same room where some watched a match on TV and at no time did they bother me. Like what there is for all tastes .. If you want a drink after work I recommend Kermel (Original) Ce que j'attends de ce genre d'endroit c'est la convivialité, la simplicité, partager avec des gens heureux d'être là et qui le font savoir. C'est ce que j'ai trouvé au kermel. Chose remarquable j'ai partagé un verre avec un Ami dans la même salle où certains regardaient un match à la TV et à aucun moment ils ne m'ont dérangé. Comme quoi il y en a pour tt les goûts.. Si vous voulez prendre un verre après le boulot je vous conseille le Kermel
