    This is the best beach bar in Senegal. You have a salt water pool on the beach where at high tide the water splashes into the pool. There are3 levels for seating and all areas are amazing, you overlook the ocean. The drinks are great you have all the usual local and import beers as well spirits and many great cocktails to choose from. I was disappointed that I only found this place on my second last day in Dakar as it was better than any other place I had been to. The food is a 9 out of 10 and I highly recommend visiting.

    Meh 🫤. Slow service, warm beer, cold food. The shrimp panne was good. Ordered the tagliatelle fruit de mere and the carbonara. Same cream sauce, usually the sea food tagliatelle comes with a red sauce. Tasted like a carbonara sauce. Shrimps were frozen and reheated. Didn’t taste fresh at all. There was no other seafood. Just the old shrimp. The carbonara. Was ok. Didn’t see the bacon or ham in there. Beer was warm. For Dakar it was all less than average. Service was sloooooowwwww.

    Not taking USD so you have to eat or drink a minimum of 20 000 Franc to pay by card. Bit of a surprise if you only planning to eat something small.

    Beware the rip curl surf shop is a rental scam. They give you bards that are broken and blame the damage on you and scam you for money. Rich owner scamming rentals.

    (Translated by Google) Very pleasant and welcoming place! Ideal to relax peacefully in front of the sea. I will not give an opinion on the restoration, not having tasted it. The setting is very pretty. I highly recommend. (Original) Lieu très agréable et accueillant! Idéal pour se ressourcer paisiblement face à la mer. Je ne donnerai pas d'avis sur la restauration, n y ayant pas goûté. Le cadre est très jolie. Je recommande fortement.

    The location is amazing. The pool right along the waterfront is just heavenly. The place offers good vibes & a chill environment to meet people or kick it with friends. The food was fine and the had nice drink selection (even for those who don't imbibe). I will return here when I am back in Dakar.

    Surfer Paradise is split level restaurant. The lower level was kind of like a nightclub with very loud music. Upper level was a nice patio on the beach. I felt the ambiance of the dining experience was compromised by the very loud music. At times, fog from the smoke machines drifted up which was unpleasant to breathe during dinner. I’m not sure if the nightclub vibe is every evening, but for nice dining, I would avoid if so. The food was good, but not great. I ordered the thiof and it was okay. My friend ordered a steak bleu, but it was served à point. Generally speaking, there are many restaurants along the corniche that are preferable to Surfer Paradise for an enjoyable dining experience and great food.

    A Dakar classic. Bring own towels and come early to get the best beds, but a great day out near the sea.

  • 4/5 Rahmat Sai J. 1 year ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Their food was yummy and well spiced... The sea foods taste fresh and expertly prepared at reasonable prices compared to neighbouring restaurants. Learn a little French to help you explain further if you're anglophone 🤣. Their view at the sea side is lovely with a swimming pool. They have good locations for great photos

    (Translated by Google) Apart from the view that this setting offers, I was not particularly seduced by the kitchen. Even less by the service (Original) En dehors de la vue que ce cadre offre, je n'ai pas particulièrement été séduite par la cuisine. Encore moins par le service

    (Translated by Google) Quiet place to have a drink listening to the sea and talking. On weekends it is very lively and has a spectacular pool. The food is fast, the burger is good, but the service is not. (Original) Local tranquilo para tomarse algo escuchando el mar y conversando. Los fines de semana se anima bastante y tiene una piscina espectacular. La comida es rápida, la hamburguesa está buena, pero el servicio no.

    (Translated by Google) Friendly and professional welcome with well-trained young people, and then on the table, the pizzas from the TOP 3 in Dakar. All on the highest and clear terrace of the Almadies ledge (nice swimming pool on the sea as a bonus). The only downside is the decor of the restaurant which lacks a bit of pep but recent efforts have been made (a little plant would not do any harm) For waves: it's just the Mecca of Bodyboarding, and not less good at all for surfing with a breathtaking straight line 😎 so go for it! It's cool ! (Original) Accueil aimable et professionnel avec des jeunes gens bien formés, et puis sur la table, les pizzas du TOP 3 de Dakar. Le tout sur la terrasse la plus haute et dégagée de la corniche des Almadies (jolie piscine sur mer en prime). Le seul petit bémol est la déco du resto qui manque un peu de peps mais des efforts récents ont été faits (un peu de végétal ne ferait pas de mal) Pour les vagues : c'est juste la Mecque du Bodyboard, et pas moins bien du tout pour le surf avec une droite décoiffante 😎 donc allez-y ! C'est cool !

    Nice place with a great view to the sea. You can go there for a hang out with friends or family members. You can also bring kids there where they can find place to play or play in the little pool. The service is welcoming too.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place on several levels the food is pretty good but a bit expensive and there is a saltwater pool downstairs. Superb view of the sea and the surfers. The swimming pool is a big plus even if access is charged 5000 cfa per adult and 3000 for children. The staff are attentive and friendly. I recommend. (Original) Chouette endroit sur plusieurs niveaux la cuisine est plutôt bonne mais un peu chère et il y a une piscine d'eau salée en bas. Superbe vue sur la mer et les surfers. La piscine est un gros plus même si l'accès est facturé 5000 cfa par adulte et 3000 pour les enfants. Le personnel est prévenant et sympathique. Je recommande.
