Restaurant Le Cocotier — Restaurant in Dakar

Nice view, great service. I had a cocktail called a Florida; rhum, pineapple, orange, some other ingredients. Sweet and tart. I’d order it again. I also had the Brazilian steak and the salmon poke bowl. The salmon was ok, I thought it would be fresh raw salmon, but it was smoked. The Brazilian filet with walnuts was tender, and pretty good. But it tasted tenderized, with a hammer or enzyme. And not really a filet, more like rump cut into strips. It was 5000 more than the regular filet or entrecôte. Not sure if id order it again. Probably tastes the same as the others. Unfortunately no where in this country will you find a nice marbled NY strip, sirloin, or real T-bone. The meat in the city has little fat, generally not aged, and not grain fed. Only a few places cut the steaks properly. The search for a good steak continues. The grilled veggies were good. No Gazelle. The only local beer is a small flag. Calm location. Nice spot to watch the waves, take a date, have a sundowner.

Went back again in February 2023 Super chill terrace bar overlooking the Atlantic. A bit on the pricey side, friendly service, good variety of menu items. The tagliatelle de mer is my favorite. Heavy on the shrimps, clams and squid. Wasn’t happy with the gnocchi. They substituted gnocchi with pasta shells. I asked why, the staff didn’t see the issue, they insisted that it was gnocchi. Also had the tagliatelle with mullet Bottarga and clams. Loved that dish too. There was plenty of Bottarga mixed in. Also had the niçois salad, instead of mozzarella they put in hard boiled eggs. Bit different. Also had the carbonara in tagliatelle. Bit thick but creamy and tasty. And finally the Brazilian Steak. More $ than regular entrecôte, tasty but chewy. Not really sure it was Brazilian. It was super lean, just like the local meat. It wasn’t really cut well, somewhat jagged. All the dishes were well played. I think I’ll stick to the seafood dishes. Good cocktails, great for a sundowner. Will go back again . I wish they had...
