The Seoul Restaurant 2.0 — Restaurant in Dakar

For much of Dakar, the refrain 'vegetarians need not apply' rings true. But Seoul 2 is definitely not a place you will be wanting to bring the less carnivorous.

For all intents and purposes a hole in the wall, the restaurant is ideal for an end of workday retreat. Most of the restaurant is open air seating on plastic chairs. Not the most comfortable but it gets the job done. Flatscreen TV on the wall is permanently tuned to Canal sports.

All in all, I'm glad...

the location caught me by surprise but inside it was very NICE.. it was secluded, big , and open. they had a huge flat screen t.v . The food took a little over an hour to come out(i was getting a bit restless). but coming from the US where everything is QUICK i quickly realized that this food is FRESH, and cooked to order. so i didn’t mind the wait. the fish was SPECTACULAR! the fried sweet plantains were a good side to go with the savory lamb i got. We were grateful to have a cape verdean creole speaking waitress. thank goodness my bf speaks creole because we couldn’t find anyone that spoke english. overall I will absolutely...
