    For those with a penchant for Lebanese cuisine, Restaurant Farid is the ideal dining destination. The staff is affable and attentive, and the menu offers exceptional value for money, with the dishes being as delectable as they are satisfying. The ambiance is also noteworthy, with a pleasant setting and live music to set the mood. Convenience is also a priority at Restaurant Farid, with the option of placing orders online and receiving timely delivery. It's no wonder why it's one of my top picks for restaurants in Dakar. The food is absolutely superb, drawing in a diverse Middle Eastern crowd and providing an authentic cultural experience. The team is exceptional, providing a warm welcome and excellent service. The quality and affordability of the cuisine is unparalleled, making it a five-star establishment in my book. And if you're looking for the ultimate sweet ending, I highly recommend trying their must-try dessert.

    If Lebanese food is your thing, Restaurant Farid is your place. They are courteous, friendly, offer good value for money and their food is delicious. Their space is also nice. Ordering food is easy, you can do it online and the order arrives fairly on time. One of my favorite restaurants in Dakar!

    Nice for lunch by the pool. This is also in an area that I really like. It's very close to the US embassy and about a half hour taxi from downtown. The food here is really great and the staff was super friendly. You can lounge by the pool or you can eat at one of the tables if you like.

    Garo did like an oasis with an inviting atmosphere, wonderful covered outdoor dining with great natural ambiance surrounded by a green wall of plants. The service is exceptional and the food is great. Hummus pita and other traditional Mediterranean fare was on point and tasty. Definitely a Gem of Dakar

    Lovely place and lovely staff but the food is a big of a let down. High prices match the vibe and attention to detail, but the mezze we ordered wasn't superb. Plenty of food though, three big waters couldn't finish it!

    The restaurant experience is moderate. The lebanese cusine is adapted to senegali traditions and the service needs more tuning.

    Nice place for meeting or a date. Beautiful place. Really beautiful up night. Open door space and close space as well. A band plays at night. I really liked the experience.

    Excellent menu and overall atmosphere, but the lovely terrace is ruined by permissive smoking.

    Very good place to seat and drink a beer after work. Or to have dinner! Very tasty food

  • 5/5 Amy R. 2 years ago on Google
    Really fantastic Lebanese, always filled with a middle Eastern crowd with great atmosphere and a good band playing soft music. The sharing mezze plater for two is MORE than enough food for four people.

    Really lovely food and friendly staff. Will definitely go back again.

  • 5/5 Lisa C. 2 years ago on Google
    They have a jalapeño hummus that is really nice. The warm mini pitas are the perfect size to help you not over eat on bread. I had the beef brochettes that were the most tender and flavorful I have ever had. They had a wide desert tray. I had the chocolate mousse. I ate it so quickly, I forgot to offer any of my friends a taste.

    My favourite restaurant in Dakar so far. I love Lebanese food and this didn’t disappoint. We ordered one platter per adult, added chips and shared with 4 hungry kids. Food was fresh and tasty; loved the chimchurri and the hummus. Best was the almond Persian rice. Puddings were good and the service was relaxed and friendly. Loved the decor and cleanliness. Great location as not far from the museum and the TER. We used the parking which was easy too. Will definitely go back.

😠 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.

😠 I came in, ordered a coffee and a brioche. I'm not Senegalese; I'm a foreign visitor, and last I retrieved money from the bank, I could only get round numbers, no change. I didn't have 1,100 CFAs, only 1,500, so when I ordered, they told me they would have to send someone to get change. This was fin...
