Complained to the manager about the taste of the food, he did nothing. I won't be coming back to this restaurant. Suggestion, have pictures of the dishes on your menu so that people know what to expect.

    Nice environnement to be productive while having a drink or watching a football game on TV. I've seen better cakes and lower prices though. The food selection is large though and I still recommend this place because of the solid internet connection and the relative quietness. The music is good too.

    If you want a place to enjoy alone, or focus for work either you are by yourself or with a team or some co-workers, this place is the best in town for many reasons. It's quiet, it's cozy, it's easily accessible and most importantly, the food is great. Please note that you have to pay for the co-working. At the time I visited (14/11/2020) it was 5000FCFA for 2 hours of co-working in some sort of cubicle (separated zone). Great concept.

    Great Canadian coffee and pastry shop steps away from the Dakar beach front. It's a bit pricier than your average European coffee chain, but will hit the spot if you're looking for that type of coffee that's hard to find in West Africa. Coffee is average, pastries are also alright, but stale quickly as they keep them throughout the day (possibly overnight), but the other treats are nice, and again hard to find in this part of the world.

  • 5/5 El Hadji Amadou D. 5 years ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Refreshing, Clean and comfortable place. Best place to discover and/or eat Canadian specialities. #poutine, loved it !!! And for pizza lovers, just order the 3 fromagi (I hope I writting is good); that pizza, never tasted one like that. You can only understand after trying it, if you taste; and you don't like, come I'll personally refund you, lol !!!

    I felt scammed. I am not Japanese, but I have eaten various Japanese dishes, and this thing, has no relationship with Japanese dishes. Totally overpriced and tastes horrible. Neither the waiter nor the owner did anything about the service, all they did was shrugging their shoulders and walked way.

😠 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.
