    Lovely decor, ambiance and views. Great service. Waiting for normal menu prices and a better food choice selection. Nonetheless, it’s often my first choice of places to take out-of-towners. A great spot for brunch, if you can afford it (perhaps don’t order the 32$ cheeseburger…). Side bonus: easy to park.

    Took a group of 10 people to Cabanon, and had a great night. The food was terrific (beef filled was fantastic!!), and the service was great. Very happy with all the dishes (shrimp appetizer was best in Dakar), beef dishes were great, and so was a grilled fish dish. The view over the ocean is great - sunset would have been awesome had we not got stuck in traffic! 😞 Overall a great dinner, superb location. I would definitely return if I have the chance to be back in Dakar!!!!

    The view is beautiful, especially if you catch the sunset. Interior is also very nice. We ordered muscles. They were is this tomato sauce, not what I’m used to in US. Drinks can be too sweet, but I’ll go for the view again.

    Totally over rated…in terms of prices… probably riding on past glory. Gréât spacious resto but zero ambiance/décor. I had a lamb médaillon… it was okay… too small with no accompaniments. My friends too were not impressed by their Tapas ( mostly bread? and a fish dish… Would not go back… except for the spectacular sunset 😊

    This restaurant is definitely a place to go if you like to take photos of you and the surrounding and the food. I went with a party of 5 total for brunch on a Friday morning. It was surprisingly not busy during this hour. We sat out by the ocean and it was great vibes. What was initially confusing was the way the brunch menu selection worked. The first four of us were given two brunch selection total where we had to fill out for two people on one. This could be done better with an indicator where it’s being selected for 1 or 2 persons. The food was decently good and decent amount of food as well. That was nice. I ended up being full and enjoyed that I could eat most of what I ordered. Overall, service was great. I liked that. Bathrooms were clean, I assume this is managed by a non-Senegalese or someone who knows their stuff about running a business catering to tourists and foreigners who look for comfort and luxury while in Senegal. Just like their ‘In Regards To” statement on their website, “Le Cabanon is an experience where pleasure, sharing and indulgence come together” … they have that down to the tea.

    Yes, yes , yes, the crepes are a must have here although it will require two people to eat them :). The burgers are not bad at all if you're into that sort of thing. This place comes highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Chris T. 5 years ago on Google
    Fantastic addition to the string of restaurants along the petite corniche. This place has easily become one of our new favorite go to spots. Pros - Finished to a very high standard with beautiful wood throughout, a thoughtful design integrating sit down restaurant (indoor and outdoor seating), bar area, sun loungers etc. - great vantage point for watching the sunset and surfers - great for kids: enclosed sand area which is perfect for the kids to play (with helpful staff watching by the way!), they have a kids menu and toddler seating. Food is tasty - mostly Spanish style food including tapas. - generally decent quality (classic) cocktails like mojitos, margaritas etc. - good for sharing and group events: several things on the menu for sharing (2-4 people) including pitchers of margarita. Also seems to be a good spot for larger group events. -Oh, and you can pay by credit card. Cons - Although more expensive that most other restaurants, the quality is worth it. - full menu dinner is only served from 8pm, even the kids menu, which is a bit disappointing. Tapas always available though. - nowhere for kids to play in the water which other places on the petite corniche have - loungers are 5,000 to use which is quite steep if you are already buying food and drinks (and considering that all other places on the petite corniche don’t charge) Overall, highly recommended!

    Excellent restaurant in Dakar. Amazing location above the sea with nice views (even at night). Service is impeccable and so friendly. The food was great! I only ate here once (so far, I'll be back) but the prawns we're not only HUGE but prepared so well. Perfectly grilled, nicely seasoned so the flavors were all there and a nice sauce on the side. Definitely on the list for dining at least a couple times on next trip to Dakar.

    I am with my wife in Dakar for more than 3 years and we love to eat in good places and we don’t recommend Cabano at all . We use to go very often when they opened the restaurant because the Decor is not bad compared to other places on the cornish. but In our last visit the food Was very bad quality.overpriced .manager and owner are very rude and no customer service. Trop mauvais. et pas correct.

    What a great spot to relax on an awful day like we had! We feel that the food is fresh and well taking care of. We spoke we most of the staff, they all know what they have to do around you. We can feel that a certain character, "Gravitas", is around to look at everything which can go wrong or not obviously. This is much in need in place like Dakar.

    Great views. Food was well cooked and really filling. I ordered grilled fish and fried plantains, and really enjoyed my dish. I actually couldn't finish, I took the rest home and had as diner later and it was still delish 😅. I would definitely recommend. But still have to say the tend to be on the pricey side (a little bit 😅) but it's worth it I think.

  • 1/5 Alfred M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good looking place. Expensive and just average food. I got in an argument about the desert because I was expecting local fruits and Got imported European fruits. Not only did they insist on charging the food I didn’t eat , but the manager came out at me. While I expected him to Find a solution, I quickly realized that he was invading my personal space to physically frighten me. That was a first for a 20$ desert... so no I won’t recommend it.

    I would not recommend this place at all. 1. The food is nasty. I had ordered the fish it was nasty. It had a funny taste. The rice was soggy. It taste like an old rice. 2. Apparently the fish doesn’t come with anything. For 12 Fcfa that’s absurd. I ordered sauce and they charged you for it. I ask to return it back since I was returning the rice they told me no and they will charge me for it. If you want bad customer service and nasty food go to this restaurant. You rather going to La cabane de Surfeur next door. Their price are more reasonable and their food taste better.
