    (Translated by Google) I put this note, not for the food which in itself is not ecstasy. A well expanded card or even too much and it is suspect. A good restaurant cannot have everything and anything. I agree with some comments, but I would not go more, it's not worth it. What shocks me is the boss's greed. No understanding, no compromise. We don't explain anything to you and you end up with surprises ..... No professionalism !!! “There is a word that designates the act of giving and that of taking, charity and greed, beneficence and lust, it is the word love.” (Original) Je mets cette note, non pas pour la bouffe qui en elle même n'est pas l'extase. Une carte bien étoffée voire trop et c'est suspect. Un bon restaurant ne peux avoir tout et n importe quoi. Je suis d accord avec certains commentaires, mais je ne m'étalerais pas plus, ça ne vaut pas le coup. Ce qui me choque, c'est l'avidité du patron. Aucune compréhension, aucun compromis. On ne vous explique rien et vous vous retrouvez avec des surprises..... Aucun professionnalisme !!! “Il existe un mot qui désigne l'acte de donner et celui de prendre, la charité et l'avidité, la bienfaisance et la convoitise, c'est le mot amour.”

    Really nice quaint restaurant with delicious meals. The lamb yassa was so good! Street gets busy so parking may be an issue but worth the visit. Meals are huge so also worth sharing

    If you are looking for a place to have authentic Senegalese cuisine - Chez Loutcha would definitely be a restaurant that would leave you with no regrets. I had the Soup Kandia, which is comparable to an okra sauce in other west African countries - and it was incroyable ✨✨ There portion sizes are befitting a person with the largest appetite 😂🤣 I entered starving and left STUFFED & most importantly very satisfied!! It’s a very intimate setting with no frills. I hope to make it back to try another local dish.

  • 3/5 Ron V. 5 years ago on Google
    Overall, a rather disappointing experience. Five from our table made selections from the large menu offerings, only to be told they didn't have it. For a Friday night, management doesn't seem to be managing their stock very well. Based on our entire table, the food was hit and miss; some relatively happy others not. Biggest disappointment is that we ate at Chez Loutcha's in Mindelo, Cap Verde, the original restaurant, and that was a much better dining out experience, including some good music. Just sad the Dakar version can't come close to matching it. In addition, it started to rain and a few got a bit wet from the leaking roof. Tried it once but not good enough to return.

    The place is popular with visiting nationals if other countries. It's known to serve typical Senegalese dishes. The servers are helpful. The place isn't high class. It's OK for anyone who wants to sample local dishes and immerse himself into the people. The food was good and the waiting wasn't unnecessarily long. There are so many local dishes to choose from. The cost of the food is OK. Dakar is an expensive place. The location isn't secluded. It's by the road side and most taxi drivers should be able to take you there.

    (Translated by Google) Discovered this weekend, by word of mouth, but already registered and read in the "Dakar tops" published in France 🤗 Old but authentic and endearing place; a methodical and smiling welcome from the young and pretty Loutcha. Lots of customers, service team and super professional kitchen, so a lot of the cooks. Excellent cuisine, very copious, we chose Cape Verdien 👌; the tables around us were also royally served and the customers happy 👍 One of my favorite table now in Dakar 🤝🥰 (Original) Découvert ce weekend, par bouche à oreille, mais déjà inscrit et lu dans les "tops de Dakar" publiés en France 🤗 Lieu vétuste mais authentique et attachant ; accueil méthodique et souriant de la jeune et jolie Loutcha. Beaucoup de clients, équipe du service et cuisine hyper professionnelle, donc un grand 👏 👏aux cuisinières. Cuisine excellente, fort copieuse, nous avons choisi Cap Verdien 👌; les tables autour de nous étaient également royalement servies et les clients épanouis 👍 Une de mes table préférées dorénavant à Dakar 🤝🥰

    This restaurant has been around since the 1960's, and is a great historic location to get some of the best Senegalese classics. They have maffe, yassa, and cheb. It's a little expensive because you receive a giant plate, and I would recommend splitting it between two people unless you are very hungry. Would also recommend the bissap. The service can be a little slow and hectic when it is peak lunch hours, as it is a popular location, so be patient, and the food is worth it.

    (Translated by Google) Very good Cape Verdean, Portuguese and Senegalese cuisine, especially fish. The chef uses local spices and gives a sophisticated note to his creations. We are received as a member of the extended family. The atmosphere is relaxed and you feel at home. Very nice, with my congratulations! (Original) Une très bonne cuisine Cap Verdienne, portugaise et sénégalaise, surtout de poisson. Le chef se sert des épices du pays et donne une note sophistiquée à ses créations. On est reçu comme un membre de la famille élargie. L'atmosphère est décontractée et on se croit chez soi. Très agréable, avec mes félicitations!

  • 1/5 Mahad 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is unacceptable. We ordered and 3 hours later, nothing came. The employees are rude and unprofessional. Even the manager said that they have no business if the delivery man never came, and we (the clients) are wasting his time!! Occupying the phone line. This level of direspect is severe. This Restaurant leans on his achievements and his name. The employees are not equiped to handle ANY client facing relations. To be avoid.

  • 4/5 F D. 4 years ago on Google
    Cheaper than the upscale restaurants in Dakar but you can get the same food at regular Senegalese restaurants for half the cost. I did not try the Cape verdian specialities they had. The ambience is very cute though. It's not upscale or lux but it's lively and cheerful. Gave a tip to the old man there that sings and plays violin. Giving 4 stars bc the price and because the basil/mint on my salad was obviously not washed- it was dry and had dirt and sand on it. I enjoyed it but the food was nothing special so I probably would not go back.

    Seems pricey at first, but pretty reasonable given the portion size. Good food presentation. VERY generous portions. There was a bee's nest in one of the light fixtures on top of a table. Solid choice if you're looking for a restaurant catering to a more well-off clientele. Nothing stood out to me during my dining experience. My local hosts highly recommend it though, so I would totally be open to trying it again!

    Great food in an atmospheric, cozy, labyrinthine space bustling with sound and movement. Mix of locals and expats. It was hard for us to get the attention of the busy staff during dinner time on a Saturday, and my food came about 25 minutes after the food of my dinner partner, but the flavors made up for it. I had the athieke poulet.

    (Translated by Google) It tastes so you won't disappoint. It is especially famous for Creole food. One serving of this restaurant is known for its high quantity. So if you don't have all the food on the table, and you want to share meals with each other, you pay an extra 1.000 French Cepea per customer who doesn't order food. The restaurant owner's generosity and consideration are visible. (Original) 기대에 실망치 않게끔 맛이 있습니다. 특히 크레올 음식들로 유명합니다. 이 식당의 1인분은 양이 많은걸로 알려져 있습니다. 그래서 테이블에 앉은 손님들의 숫자대로 음식을 다 시키지않고, 서로 나누어 식사하려 한다면, 음식을 주문하지 않은 손님당 1.000 프랑스 세페아를 더 지불하면 됩니다. 식당주인의 아량과 배려가 보입니다.
