Restaurant Le Carré Dakar — Restaurant in Dakar

La Carre Dakar is a gem for anyone looking to soak in the beauty of the Atlantic while enjoying a relaxed, stylish setting. Sitting on the terrace during sunset is truly magical—the view alone is worth the visit. The atmosphere is vibrant yet serene, with live musicians passing through to entertain guests in a fun and respectful way that adds a lovely rhythm to the evening. We ordered prawns, the fish of the day, baobab juice, and a ginger drink. While the prawns were a bit disappointing—mostly prawn heads rather than tails—and the fries could have been better (the oil had a strong smell), the fish of the day was excellent: fresh, perfectly grilled, and full of flavor. The drinks were a highlight too: the exotic baobab juice was refreshing and unique, and the ginger drink had a great kick and taste. La Carre shines with its ambiance and hospitality. With a few tweaks to the food consistency, it could easily become one of Dakar’s top spots for both locals...

I really enjoyed the evening at Le Carré Dakar, I came here for dinner alone. From the beginning the staff were welcoming and very friendly.

The interior is semi-outside, and if you can get the seats by the water it’s amazing, the waves just beneath - there are also lounges right above the waves if you wish.

I heard the cocktails are great here, so I tried a few flavored mojitos and they did not disappoint - watch out they are quite strong.

I had Dorade Braisée and that was probably the best fish dish I have ever had! The flavours were incredible, it was cooked to perfection and Aloco as a side just made it all come together. It’s a must try!

Restaurant has a nice vibe, there’s music so it’s a bit of a restaurant lounge place, imagine it gets a bit wilder later in the night. It was busy with locals and tourists - don’t miss it if...

Le Carré is a bit tricky to find—you’ll need to head toward Rocca Marina and go behind the football pitches to get there. Once inside, the setting is beautiful: comfy sofas, a sea view, and a perfect spot to watch the surfers off to the left. The hostesses were welcoming, and the space itself is nicely designed.

That said, the music was louder than I’d like and didn’t quite match the relaxing coastal vibe—it felt more like a lounge trying to push a shisha bar atmosphere, which clashed with the setting for me.

The menu was a bit limited during my visit. I came in hoping for fresh fish, especially being right by the sea, but they didn’t have what I wanted available and suggested meat instead, which wasn’t quite what I was after.

Nice spot to chill and...
