Reine Margarita

Restaurant

👍👍 Haven’t had the chance to dine in yet, but I do plan to return. The pasta looks amazing. I got a pepperoni pizza to go and it was just how I wanted it. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in Dakar this far. I’ll update after my second visit. People often mention Italian, pizza, Dakar, pizzas, cuisine, good, service, restaurant, Great, nice,

    Reine is pretty good. We ordered a pizza and lasagna. I think the lasagna was heated again in the microwave, which made the edges tough, but it was still okay.

    Great experience at Reina Margarita! Went there for some pizzas and watching soccer. Pizzas were tasty with fresh ingredients. The service is efficient and the owner very friendly. Price slightly high for beverages though (beers) . Highly recommended !

    the place to go in Dakar when you feel like Italian food! great food and friendly staff! the only con is that the space for outside tables is very limited and it's next to a quiet busy street.

    Unpretentious fair price but delicious nice food. In a town where anything that may be liked by expats is triple the price in Europe the Reine Margarita is indeed a treasure.

    Enjoyable place to eat excellent italian food. There is a lot of food at an affordable place. The place is cozy with a great and attentive staff. However the place is a little small and often crowded . And unfortunately a little bit of annoying flies. Overall great experience.

    This is a nice place with good food. I recommend any of the pizzas offered here. However, the service is quite mixed between waiters/waitresses. More effort needs to be put in standardising service delivery.

    My friend and I spent the day at Ngor Island, Senegal Needless to say, after that ocean breeze and walk from shore, to the restaurant, we were FAMISHED!!! My friend had a cheese and halal salami pizza, with a topping of arugula. I had a vegan marinara pizza with fresh mushrooms and grilled zucchini. Each bite melted in our mouths! DEE-Li-CIOUS 🥒🍅🍕🍄 Chef Ibrahiima is phenominal!💯

    Well... I was a bit slow to find Reine Margherita. It's been there a couple of years. But, better late, than never. And now I am one of the regulars, an ultra you can say. The place is plain and simple, no pretentious glam there. Food: So good. Best pizzas in this town, basta. The pastas also, really made as if you were in some regions of Italy. The ambience is free and loose, the many local Italians always dropping in to this small food station increase this feeling. There are many good reasons why this place is usually packed, sometimes you have to wait or do a takeaway. And those waitresses even adds to the total, which is just incredible. My place, so often.

😠 Horrible service and not so good food. Waitresses are lazy and rude, and meat served is not always fresh. Quality of restaurant has dropped with new ownership as current owner focuses more on decor and marketing. Only good thing about this restaurant is the location.
