I loved this place rek!!! And i heard it is Senegalese owned!!! The pastries are excellent. The cocktails too. The up to date playlist will please any RnB lover. Tout est nehr chez Melo. Definitely going back during my next stay in Dakar!

The same price as most brunches in Dakar, but with much better food, and a large menu selection with pictures. It is often quite crowded, so expect a wait for a table.

Lovely brunch with a huge variety. The Mac and Cheese lacked taste though and the food could be hotter in temperature but the hot chocolate was delicious and good customer service too. We came on a weekend and didn’t need to wait for a table and service wasn’t too slow. Would definitely recommend!

The best place for brunch in Dakar. No matter what you order on the menu, you will be pleased. Dog friendly if you sit on the patio.

if your conditioned to something “familiar” then this is a 4star place. If you are looking for good food of Dakar Senegal I do not recommend. i was taking pictures for this review and the waitress came to me immediately to tell me i could not video. i explained i wasn’t videoing i was taking pictures. But the 2 Chinese ladies who was sitting right next to the counter had their phones, taking videos but they were never approached. I believe because i am a black american i was treated different in my own land. I waited extra long to even order my drink. I was about to walk out then the lady came. No one spoke english and i just felt outcasted . The bathroom was nice but no working drying machine’s or paper towels. i will not be returning here again. i can order pancakes and omelette in America. only thing i recommend is the Bissap(Hibiscus) drink. it was very refreshing

Great quality brunch and nice atmosphere. Great service. A real chill place with great food

Really amazing experience really nice taste good and the prices are fair so recommend it 🙂

Update 2023: Came here for a group brunch and we had a much better experience. The American Brunch was good, we chose the pork bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese option and the Mr. Sea Croissant Sandwich, which was VERY good. The strawberry banana smoothie was also delicious and creamy. Only downside was the carrot cake which was dry and had too much orange taste. The Oreo cheesecake was worth a try. I would come back. 2022 Came here for brunch. The decor is lovely, but the food did leave me a bit wanting due to the lack of flavors. We had the avocado toast and American brunch platter. I would return to try pastries and coffee, but not breakfast.

My favorite dish is the “Mexican plate” which is misnamed because it’s smoked salmon, poached egg and avocado on toast. The bread is incredible and of the many times I’ve had this dish it’s always been good. A friend had the kebab plate which was equally good. I also enjoyed the tinkeliba ice tea and cheesecake. Everything I’ve had here has been delicious.

Tasty dishes and consistency in quality. There sometimes is a wait, but even then the line tends to move quickly. It's a nice spot to meet up with friends, catch a meal with family or have a lunch date with your partner, would definitely recommend!

Nice place if you are going to sit in, but if you want take out, 10am is last call (because like who eats take out after 10am right?). The menu is no different for people sitting at the restaurant. How's that for logic?

The location is on a quiet area..the food is delicious and the menu is very diverse..everyone can find their happiness there even the most picky eaters.. if you go there on a weekend..try and be there by 10am for a good spot

Best looking breakfast and brunch menu I've seen in Dakar. Generous portions and good taste

Nice quaint place. But super busy. Staff can be rude at times. Been there numerous times but have had different experiences. Orders can take a while to come through. The wait time is unimaginable on weekend. Definitely avoid going there on weekends. Found other options lately.

Great brunch place.

One wouldn't guess from the outside that there's such a nice restaurant. It's cozily decorated with an eye on detail. Food is quite expensive but of quite good quality. Sadly the service is a little bit slow.

The last time I was here, we had an amazing experience and decided to visit the next time. This time, everything was horrible from the food to the service. Service was slow, we found a worm (geometer moth as per google) in one of our drinks and the potatoes were also burnt. They took a long time to fix the problems. Never fixed the burnt potatoes. We didn't enjoy the food anymore. I really thought I had found a go-to good spot to dine in dakar but I guess I will keep looking.

Nice and cozy, with very comfortable seating area. Food servings are generous and tasty as well. Will come back for sure.

The kind of place we like to go but we don’t know why…. I could be critical of their bad running of the place, 2nd review… not my first visit at all… the worst in the service industry is when waitress to be direct with this place, spend more time on their phone and work with their phones in hand! Seating face to the corridor going to the loo, a waitress spent more then 2hours hiding from « I don’t know who » as guests are everywhere and passing her to go to the toilets… with her phone playing Charing with other’s staff members… Sad as if she was just paying more attention to her surroundings she might make more tips doing a job well done (like cleaning the dust from very dirty fake flowers, or the chandelier)Anyway this is the virus of the country as the work isn’t so important to them! Lucky I like the feeling of the messy shabby chic decor.

Really Nice place 🙂 Their brunches are top ;)

The decor is very a la mode and the plating is nice. We went for brunch, the plates have a good amount of food. It seems that it's common in Dakar for eggs to be very undercooked (maybe this is a French thing?). The whole table asked for over easy eggs and in anticipation that they would be undercooked, we explained that we were looking for the egg white to be cooked through, the waiter said oh yes over easy with the runny yolk - he seemed to understand perfectly. They brought sunny side up eggs that were barely cooked. Two of us also asked for no meat with our order and the waiter said no problem and that he would add cheese instead. They brought us the meals with meat and when we told them we asked for no meat, they gave us a side plate to pick it out ourselves... I did not appreciate this at all. EDIT: in response to the owner's reply - all communication was in French The place was nice, but the service needs some tuning.

Really good brunch...with fruits and salad served with the dish. Was plenty of food as well and very tasty.

I love this place I love how special you feel went you enter in this place. The decor 🥰💖🥰

Wonderful environment for everyone including children. The customer service was good and food and drinks are delicious as well. I had the La Mexicana along with a mango passion fruit smoothy and was not disappointed.

1st time here was awesome but the 2nd time around was a total disappointment. 1st, the potatoes they brought all of us were burnt and we complained but they did nothing about it. 2nd, they also brought us a drink that had a worm in it. 3rd, there was a terrible male bearded waiter who had awful customer services. He wasn't nice and ignored us when we asked for something. Plus, they don't give clients wifi access!!! I'm not going back...!!!

Staff was friendly and cool. Food was amazing ( im very picky when it comes to food, so trust me on that ) . Brunch is served all day . Cost will vary around $25 per person.

The service was good and quick, my panini was tasty and a good portion size and I liked the deco/atmosphere.

Cozy bakery with good coffee and drinks. I was unfortunately with a chicken sandwich, but other selections did look appetizing.

The place is well decorated and cozy. A bit stuffy inside because you can smell the smoke from the kitchen because of ventilation issues. There are seating options outside. The staff seemed disorganized and a bit aloof. I bought 2 mini sandwichs (avocado and tuna) They were very small, not good, and expensive, 2000, 2500 CFA. I did not check the prices before buying and this is my fault. I will not return there.

Nicely garnished plates, with the perfect amount of food. A bit on the expensive side. I had the American breakfast platter

Brunch on Sunday is always a winner

Cocooning time. In love with this place! The only problem is the toilets though

It's okay.. Not top not bad..

Really good good service food is good but portions yummm

We’ve been at this place for a brunch; our food was cold and the service was somewhat sloppy ... e we came with a discount, which the manager refused to apply. Overall, Our brunch was very disappointing.

Great food and ambiance

excellent service, lovely decor, great-tasting food

(Translated by Google) First time. 30 degrees in the shade outside! I order take-out ice cream, two flavors to choose from! 1,500 the ball and a waitress who was not there for me! I had to tell her again that it was to take away so that she wraps it up for me as it should! Very bad first contact! Second time, nice catch up: After-work after a tiring day: caramel cheese cake with a smoothie to die for. Nice setting for the end of the day! Good service! (Original) Première fois. 30 degrés à l'ombre dehors! Je commande de la glace à emporter, deux parfums au choix! 1.500 la boule et une serveuse qui n'était pas là pour moi !

Deuxième fois, joli rattrapage: After-work après une journée harassante: cheese cake caramel accompagné d'un smoothie à tomber. Joli cadre pour une fin de journée! Bon service!
