    Went to Alkimia for dinner. We had very good service and the restaurant is beautiful. We had the “Souris d’Agneau” and the Gambas. The meat was very tender and well cooked, but lacking in flavor. The gambas was typical of Dakar. I’m not sure I’d return based the the cost and the level of quality. I’ve heard good things about the lunches though, so I may have to try that.

    The place is nice, exceptionally nice compared to the other restaurants in Dakar, but the food is not that good. They double the price of the food because the place is nice, but the food itself does not worth even half of that. There are much better food for half of their price elsewhere in Dakar.

    (Translated by Google) Very good address to feast the taste buds, the cuisine is tasty, the presentation neat. The little extra is the very smiling visit from the chef, who can only be complimented. Perfect for lunch or dinner, a bit classy as the prices are still high, but the quality is there. (Original) Très bonne adresse pour régaler les papilles, la cuisine est savoureuse, la présentation soignée. Le petit plus est la visite très souriante du chef, qu'on ne peut que complimenter. Parfait pour un déjeuner ou un dîner, un peu classe car les prix sont quand même élevés, mais la qualité est là.

    One of the cleanest, upscale restaurant in west Africa honestly. They really go the extra mile with Covid precautions. The staff was also very careful with social distancing & gave us extraordinary service. We celebrated a friend's birthday & we will definitely come back. Great spot, Amazing Service!

    The food was good but the waitress didn't ensure that I was good on drinks or anything. It was my birthday when I went and apparently the tour guide told them it was my birthday and to sing to me before he left (he only walked in with me). I wasn't aware of what he said to the waitress because I dont speak French. I get my bill and they charged me for the cake they brought out to sing Happy Birthday to me with which I didn't ask for. I've been to many different restaurants on my birthday and I've never been charged for what they bring out to sing happy birthday with.

    Fine dining in the heart of Les Almadies. The setting is a groovy outdoor setting with a bar and lounge area plus the indoor air conditioned fine dining area. The cuisine is varied for all tastes and you will be served to sumptuous three course delicacies. Lunch was fun and I’d love to see how it looks at night. Parking available outside.

  • 3/5 Monsieur Le B. 3 months ago on Google • 25 reviews New
    Better than before… talking about the food only, the service is as usual they care more about their phones than their customers. Again for the price I pay on my own (130k) all we want is a bite of peace and attention when needed. Little disappointed by the pain perdu dessert! But hey they cannot all be like the top one at “Le Cab…n”, just nearby!

  • 5/5 sky S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great meal! Salmon was perfectly cooked, the Roquefort ‘esque steak was well prepared. They had a simple yet great wine selection. Atmosphere reminded me of Miami. Our server was timely and very friendly despite a minor issue with our bill that he happily resolved. I will be returning next trip here for sure! Very clean western style. Arguably better then the Spanish Alkimia.

    (Translated by Google) 13/09/2020 evening What a desappointment ! We were a large table of 10 people, we had reservations and were seated. A few minutes later the rain started to fall and we had to ask several servers to be placed inside, after 20 minutes in heavy raindrops. The plates were rather empty! Dessert was the only good note of the evening mr. The prices are inappropriate and very high. (Original) 13/09/2020 au soir Quelle déception ! Nous étions une grande table de 10 personnes, nous avions réservé et avons été placé.

Les assiettes étaient plutôt vides ! Le dessert à été la seule bonne note de la soirée m. Les prix sont inappropriés et très élevés.
