    This restaurant is incredible! Such a beautiful view and a cool vibe. They had 2 vegetarian friendly dishes that looked good (an Asian meal with tofu or veggie risotto which I got a loved). Really good drinks and THE MUSIC. I knew they had live music, but I was not expecting a full on show. Highly recommend!

    Very enjoyable time. The food was great and the pricing really honest compared to other locations ... for 2 people main courses + desserts is less than 50000 cfa. Cherry on top of the cake, there is a live event show

    Amazing atmosphere and view. Well worth the trip! I also like how they do not allow people to drive up by themselves. The shuttle bus guarantees more safety on the route up and down. The restaurant and lounge gets really busy so booking a table in a good idea. The food is good and the waiters are friendly. Because of the large numbers, you might want to go grab a server before they miss you.

    Go for a drink to enjoy the view and the sunset, but skip the food. The food was a complete disappointment, lacking flavour and was below average. Not what you would expect from an establishment with prices like here. I have also ordered Tarte Tatin and what I got was a basic apple tart. The service overall was friendly and attentive. When you arrive you have to hop on a shuttle that takes you up to the top. There is music and entertainment most nights as well. The view is wonderful out towards the sea, perfect for a sunset. But a good view is limited to a few tables, with comfy seats facing away from the view weirdly. I wouldn’t come back, you get a similar view from the other hill with the statue. However if you must, come for a drink but not a meal.

    The entertainment show was really good and you could see that the performers were having fun, which made it even more enjoyable. Service was fast and friendly, with personnel checking up on me every now and then. As for the food and drinks, they came out pretty quickly after I ordered. The Venice bubble cocktail was stronger than I expected. Last but not least, the DJ was excellent. I’ll definitely come back on weekends when it’s more crowded.

    I only visited the light house. I got to see the furthest point in West Africa. The view is BEAUTIFUL. The sunset was cool. I also got to climb the light house. There was a nice man available, who explained the history of the place.

    Very popular place for expats. Fantastic brunch with great views, but above all super friendly staff. Recommend to book in advance to not disappoint. Update 2 years later... The brunch now seems to be a lot better, it was good before but now more quantity like 6 sausages instead of 4, large pile of scrambled eggs, more fruit salad, and bacon pieces are much nicer too. Very impressed with the American brunch. What is an downer is this strange need to put a corded posts in front of the entrance gate, personally I think it's ugly and unnecessary. I guess it has a functional purpose but still it's not like a huge mass of crowd turning up all at once needing crowd control.

    Following my attack and physical assault by two employees of Phare Des Mammelles on the night of February 11, 2022, I will no longer patronize that establishment. Long story short, after being rejected by the hostess for being too casually dressed despite our reservations and custom-made culturally appropriate attire, I took a picture of the receptionist desk to go along with this review and the hostess physically attacked me in an attempt to confiscate my phone. A male security officer came and aggressively restrained me while taunting and berating me to release the photo. I refused and eventually gained freedom in time to hop in a cab. The trauma of the experience kept me from writing sooner. I cannot speak to the food or drinks and although making the reservation was easy, having it honored was impossible. Would not recommend. Edited to address lies by the restaurant. I did not have any alcohol or other substances and was only coming to celebrate Valentines day with my husband ahead of his travels. It is disappointing that you would respond by attempting to tarnish my reputation. Second, I was not belligerent. I only stated that I should be released. My French is too poor for me to have said anything offensive to anyone. Finally, when I spoke to your manager multiple times that day (in English), even moments before the assault, he can confirm I wasn't disrespectful. As a foreign visitor, mother, wife, professional, and nearly 40-year old woman, why would I show up to any restaurant inebriated? Be accountable.

    Views are unrivalled😍. Most of the tales were marked reserved… (three hour later they were still empty🤣) so we had to make do on not such a prime spot… we moved once as it was blazing hot and we wanted a better view… the service was too laid back😏… thé.manager (maybe) just laughed about it in a dismissive manner. The staff Seemed distracted… Food was excellent… decent wine… I will revisit…to sample a different meal and for the sunset😁

    (Translated by Google) I apologize, but I lack words to describe the unpleasant time I just spent in this restaurant with my friends. Far from being a connoisseur of catering services, I was saddened by the quality of the service. First, regarding drinks, we have lemon juice squeezed with seeds. Then, relative to the server, he took our orders badly, and obviously did not control the availability of menu meals and side dishes. What is more, we had the impression of disturbing him by asking him questions relating to the card. Sighs here and whispers there. Finally, to clear up, said server did not ask us if we had finished ... 😪 ... I would like to believe that this is an isolated case considering the previous rather glowing reviews, but I will no longer recommend this restaurant. My friends and I left disappointed. Thank you... (Original) Je vous prie de m'excuser mais je manque de mots pour décrire le désagréable moment que je viens de passer dans ce restaurant avec mes amies. En effet, loin d'être un fin connaisseur des services de restauration, j'ai été peiné par la qualité du service. D'abord, concernant les boissons, nous avons les jus de citron pressés avec des pépins. Ensuite, relativement au serveur, il a mal pris nos commandes, et visiblement, ne maîtrisait pas la disponibilité des repas du menu et des accompagnements. Qui plus est, nous avions l'impression de le deranger en lui posant des question relatives à la carte. Des soupirs, par ci, et des murmures par là. Enfin, pour débarrasser, ledit serveur ne nous a pas demandé si nous avions fini...😪... Je veux bien croire que c'est un cas isolé eu égard aux précédents commentaires assez élogieux, mais je ne recommanderai plus ce restaurant. Mes amies et moi sommes partis déçus. Merci...

    First place I would recommend to hang out with whenever you are in Dakar because you have the whole view of the city by night and there are live bands playing different kind of music all weekend. Very nice and pleasant place. There is an outlet on the roof top, a bar

    For those who are looking for the nightlife, If you’re looking for an African experience, you’d be a bit disappointed. The DJ isn’t even African and plays random mixes, mostly electronic mixes with “some” African songs. On the other hand, the drum guy was great and kept the party live. It is a lively place and can be your thing if you’re into EDM. The crowd was surprisingly mixed and diverse, with Africans barely surpassing the 1:2 ratio. Everyone else were either Europeans or Middle East. 3 starts for the location and drum guy. First time in Senegal and I Was looking for an African experience. Meh!

  • 5/5 Azania M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a delight! C'est magnifique! This restaurant is located at the top of the hill in the light house at the end of bay in Dakar. You park at the bottom of the hill and shuttles bus you up and down the hill. The hill is also used by locals for outdoor workouts and runners use it to practice incline runs. The views from the top provide a panoramic view of the city on one side and sunsets over the Atlantic ocean on the other. The restaurant has a festive atmosphere with musical performances on Friday and Saturday nights. The carpaccio starters were absolutely delicious. The fish and prawn mains were also lovely and in keeping with Senegalese cooking. The dessert was the star. The perfect chocolate fondant and vanilla ice cream. Make sure you book in advance, they get fully booked.

    We went for the famous brunch on a Sunday. Food was served 5min after we ordered and you could tell that everything was cooked hours before. They just heated it in microwave. Service was good. And of course the atmosphere and views are breathtaking. Best view and atmosphere in the whole Dakar.... Staff were very friendly with children. Pity for the food!

    It's very nice place, people dancing - drinking making it a friendly environment. The only problem is that it becomes fun after the live show ends.. I don't want to be rude but their singers making so much noise it's annoying to be around. Overall when DJ takes over is fun

    (Translated by Google) This place is one of the oldest heritages that Senegal holds but that fewer Senegalese give to its true value. A mythical place where I remember we used to play when we were little, also looking for wild berries. However, I am very worried about everything that springs up all around her like the restaurant at the top and the buildings that grow next to it (hotel). I'm afraid its value will be subject to any commercial profit. (Original) Ce lieu est l'un des plus vieux patrimoines que le Sénégal détient mais que moins de sénégalais accordent à sa juste valeur. Un lieu mythique où je me rappelle nous jouions étant petit à la recherche également de petits fruits sauvages.

J'ai bien peur que sa valeur ne soit assujetis par de quelconques profits commercials.

    Dinner and a show! The mojitos were tasty, the food wad underwhelming, but the show after dinner made up for it! Wonderful, full of life. Would love to come back.

  • 5/5 Nelson A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice ambiance which usually has live band/dance performances to entertain guests. Weekend necessitates pre-booking and an entrance fee of 5k cfa at the time. It comes with a free drink though. This is a nice joint for expats and it gives a panoramic view on a large part of the city. Prices of food and drinks are not too high considering the calibre of the venue and the generally expensive prices of food in Dakar.

    Really nice place nice view a little bit expensive but you pay for the view and also the food is a good quality

  • 5/5 Ludwine M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful sight. Totally breath-taking ❤😍❤😍 Live band is a bit too loud for me, so if you are not a fan either on evening that could be the only thing but up to 8pm you'll still love it.

  • 3/5 Liz H. 2 years ago on Google
    The views, the ambiance, the staff… amazing! The food was not enjoyable. We ordered tapas, gamba and steak. Our general assessment was overcooked and bland. Would definitely go back for drinks and live music, but would not eat here again.

  • 5/5 Tanmay T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and happening place in Dakar. Good vibes and great atmosphere. The staff is very courteous and welcoming. This is an upscale place and it lives up to its expectations. Offers verity of drinks and food is nice as well. A must visit place 👍🏻

    The view at the top is cool. There are buses at the entrance to help you get to the restaurant and take you back to the entrance. The prices are not so bad. The sunset is beautiful when you see it from there... There is a museum but they close around 6pm

    Great vibes on Friday and Saturday night but the food is not so good.

  • 4/5 David Marshall (. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time there. The special events with the whole staff is fun and the animation is quite good and original. We ordered food for a big party so tasted a bit of everything and honestly it was a hit and miss, some are good other bad... My advice, stick to fundamentals and food you are used to. But yeah you go mostly for the ambiance and not necessarily the food.

  • 4/5 Lydia H. 1 year ago on Google
    The phare has possibly the worst food I’ve had in Dakar, but the view and ambiance are incredible. Eat beforehand and go have a drink. Live music is awesome too. It’s a vibe.

  • 4/5 Deborah M. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant and ambience was lovely. The food was delicious and the band was great. The view of Dakar and the Lighthouse was fantastic.Our waitress was great, attentive and all the food came out hot and fast. The hostess down at the front gate was a problem. She told us one of our party was underdressed and did not want to let him up, but when we got upstairs there were several white patrons dressed similarly if not more casual than he was. Disappointed to say the least that this attitude still persists in our own homeland. However we didn't let it get to us, he was finally allowed entry and we enjoyed our night. Would have been 5 stars for sure had we not had that experience.

    To get to the restaurant (at the top of the hill), there is a comfortable, air conditioned bus that makes regular trips to and from the restaurant. The restaurant and bar itself is super trendy, airy and really captures the essence of a restaurant in a Phare des Mamelles (lighthouse). They have an accommodating menu, that has various options for all dietary requirements. Their cocktails are super tasty - I had the caipiriña, and it was pretty close to caipiriñas I’ve had in Brazil 🇧🇷! So 10/10 for authenticity. Aside from the great drinks, the food was amazing, as was the service! What really makes the vibe so special is the live music. There are a lot of seating options, so if you prefer to be away from the music and focus more on conversation with your party, there is a rooftop as well as alternative dining space.

😠 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.
