Black and White — Restaurant in Dakar

This place is well located, right in the middle of Ngor beach. It's the perfect place to people watch for a tourist. You will have all the local people, villagers, fishermen, youths playing sports, and you can watch the boats leaving for the beautiful island of Ngor. Also seems to be a bit of a hangout for the young, trendy urban crowd of this city. The furniture and style are modern and kind of "night-club stylish". Food is above average for Dakar, but at the same time, it is not spectacular. They have dishes that will suit tourists, for sure, and they are as expected. They have crêpes with cheese and ham for 4000, and they are tasty. Prices are normal for a place that is a little bit upscale, 3000-8000 for a meal. Service is friendly and correct, but also slow and unprofessional. Slow service and low knowledge of French or English is not unusual in this region, so it's not necessarily worse than any average place, but far from top-notch.

You ask the security guy to keep a close eye on your stuff, and when you leave, you give a special tip just for him (cash in his hand). I usually give 1000 cfa, so it's about 2 usd/1,5 euro. He totally appreciates, and I have never had any problems and felt totally safe. This is a huge plus for me, as I usually travel alone. Big kudos to their security guys! I will always come back because it's a place where I can leave my stuff and feel safe, and enjoy the beach...

Nice to sit with your feet literally in the sand. I was handed a food menu, then told the food was not served until 1400 😂 and I arrived arohnd 12:30. So I ordered a bissap drink while enjoying the people watching on the beach, the waves crashing and gentle...

Mauvaise expérience aujourd'hui.Je suis sidérée par la désinvolture et le manque d'intérêt affiché par le personnel sur place. Venue avec des amies nous avons dû tourner en rond un bout de temps avant qu'on nous aide à nous installer, sur des fauteuils sales et empoussierés.Nous avons fini par quitter les lieux par dépit après avoir poireauté une bonne quinzaine de minutes sans que personne ne daigne venir prendre nos commandes, et ce sous le regard du personnel de service qui discutait tranquillement. J'ai était au Black&White à plusieurs reprises les 1ers mois de son ouverture et c'est dommage de constater l'état de délabrement du mobilier et la baisse de la...
