Le Bon Goût Chez Fa — Restaurant in Las Vegas

Le Bon Gout Chez Fa is my new favorite restaurant in Las Vegas, maybe in the world, for a lot of reasons. I can recommend it to you fellow world travelers knowing you'll be treated like family.

This restaurant is located in an unassuming strip mall with plenty of free parking and conveniences for handicapped patrons.

You'll be given a warm welcome upon arrival by the family who owns and operates everything here. Order or pick up takeout, plan your catered event here, or select a table for a nice dine-in dinner with friends and family.

The dining room is tastefully decorated with traditional African and Senegalese flair, the music is enchanting which helps set the stage for your dining experience.

Ask for advice with the menu. Whatever you order, you will not be disappointed.

Senegalese food is inspired by many cultures and traditions and it has inspired the world in return which I learned firsthand from the owner and chef here and I'll be forever grateful.

I ordered the most traditional Senegalese dish as well as several traditional African specialities which are my favorites and they were all outstanding.

The Fataya (fish patties) is savory and buttery crispy with delicate white fish inside. It's served with a scrumptious homemade sauce with a hint of honey. Five stars.

My party was gifted a huge glass of tropical juice by the family members, along with everyone else in the restaurant. Delighted Uber and door dash drivers gathering takeout orders, fellow patrons and my party clinked glasses while we exchanged compliments about this delicious beverage. Five stars.

I love the Tchep with fish here. It is a Traditional and popular dish of rice, fish and vegetables. This dish started with a small mountain of joloff rice, and delicious well-seasoned stewed veggies and a large portion of fresh fish. This dish has the perfect amount of umami flavor and it's rustic, healthy and a very good bargain. Five stars.

We also ordered peanut butter stew with chicken with fufu. (Pounded yam) This dish is decadent, rich and a little sweet. One of my favorites, a lot of work goes into making this recipe and it is amazing here. Five stars.

I admired the beautiful music playing, the artwork and the generous kindness from the family to everyone who entered during my dinner which sweetened the taste of my meal.

My fellow travelers to Las Vegas were given huge complimentary bags of African steamed peanuts for our plane rides and journeys home. Everyone out there with an amazing mother can relate to this gesture and act of kindness. The peanuts are amazing here. Five stars.

This restaurant opened the summer before my first meal here. It's the dream of the family who owns it to bring African food and traditions to the community here. Las Vegas is lucky to have them as you are for following in the lucky footsteps who find their way here.

I learned to say "Cheers" in Senegalese (Asante!) while drinking Ataya, Senegalese Tea Culture here. Traditional Senegalese Tea is green tea with fresh mint and sugar which creates a foam when poured. It turns from bitter to sweet while drinking it. This is an ancient tradition admired by many cultures to help remind others about where they've been and the hopes ahead which sweeten the ending.

I hope you end up here, fellow travelers. I know you will love it here. Best wishes and blessings to this family and their amazing family restaurant for everything they do for their community....

Senegalese food in Vegas??? Yes, please!! FINALLY! So this place has been around for 2 years I learned, and I am sad I am 2 years late to the game. Better late than never. I have been to Africa a few times, across 5 different countries (and more to go hopefully!) and the food in Senegal was by far my favorite, so I was literally salivating when this place popped up on my google when looking for something else (I forget what, but obv restaurant related)

EXPERIENCE: It's a small place. A few tables, a TV behind the counter. No frills.

Listen, I am not gonna hold you. When you order, the food might take some time to come out (depending on what you order - it may be a cook-to-order dish)...and if that's the case, calm down. This ain't fast food. It will be worth the wait, hands down. That food will live rent-free in your head. And you WILL wait that wait to get it over and over again. Seriously. It's like that.

FOOD: For a drink I think what I had was the Senegalese Cocktail - the one that is a mix of the Baobab drink and Sorrel. LAWDT. That is some good stuff!!! It tastes very tropical, creamy, sweet, hard to describe. But a must have. And Baobab is a super fruit - for bonus points :)

For my entree I had the Poisson Braise (with red snapper) which is a whole fried fish, topped with lemony sauce + marinated onions and accompanied by one side (I chose fries) and it comes with a little salad. The flavors will make you swoon. You might fall out your chair. You will be planning your next visit before you finish your plate. Yes. It's like that. It's like THAT.

BONUS: (The chef is the sweetest lady!) It was so good in fact that I couldn't contain myself and had to pop my head in the kitchen before I left to give the Chef her flowers. I never do that. And you know what? She jumped right out her chair and came over to greet me and talked to me for a bit, gave me hugs, and sent me on my way with a juice to go in this heat 🥹. The orange colored tropical one. She said it's her special mix she came up with....and that one is sooooo good too 😩.

I am guessing everything this woman touches is gold.

Listen, I will be dragging everyone I know down here to eat. I will be driving from way over in Henderson on a fairly regular basis to get that food. Not enough ppl understand how good Senegalese food is and Chef Fa is here to show Vegas. Thank goodness!!!

Go get you some, and I mean run, don't walk. The only way to keep gems like this around - is to support them. So get in there, and when they knock your socks off -...

Found our new favorite Senegalese (West African) restaurant!! We loved all the recommendations. The owner knows how to work with allergies (dairy and peanuts). They offer vegan and vegetarian options too!The owner and her kid are both super patient and understanding of kid ADHD/neurodivergents. It will take time to wait for your meals (we shared among the table). BUT overall service is quick and just one person/the owner. Any foodie out there looking for a punch of flavors, you'll love Senegalese cuisine. So good!! Comfort food from mom pop type restaurant.

It's only our 2nd restaurant eating Senegalese food. The 1st restaurant we tried was the popular Calabash. But they serve mixed cuisines (Senegalese and Gambian), and the wait over our last visits just isn't worth visiting anymore. Le Bon Gout Chez Fa differs in certain tastes and such. We feel it definitely is a cleaner in quality and taste and wonder if that's the halal practice of things. And we don't have to wait forever to just get out order, wait forever for the food, then wait another 30min just trying to get the check.

At Le Bon Gout Chez Fa, there was a slight wait for the food. And starting to understand maybe it just takes time when we want quality fresh food. On a Saturday 1pm, we were the only party with someone doing a pick up later on. Definitely recommend lunch for full attention to food and service. What we ordered --

#21. Lamb okra Oxtail not on menu. #15 Cury Guinar, Chicken $16.99. #42 Chicken Chops $16.99 Jollof rice #8 Plantains $6. Comes with 5 pieces. We were a party of 6. She was so so sweet to make extra so each of us had enough to share!!

Overall, love Le Bon Gout Chez Fa. Owner was super sweet!! We'll be dining in and ordering take out all the time! The fufu and Jollof rice was more flavorful at Calabash. It was still good. It didn't make a difference to us since the pairing entrees were good. Also I don't know if the Gambian flavors makes the difference from Calabash.

The SO likes Calabash (Senegalese/Gambian) flavors better. I like Le Bon Gout Chez Fa because they can address allergies/dietary needs with certainty, and...
