What is Restaurant Le Ngor Known For?

Restaurant Le Ngor is a well-known restaurant located in Dakar, Senegal. It is situated in Almadies, Dakar, and offers a picturesque setting with views of the Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant is renowned for its fresh seafood dishes, including grilled fish, lobster, and traditional Senegalese cuisine.

Le Ngor is popular among both locals and tourists for its relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, and scenic surroundings. Visitors often visit to enjoy a taste of Senegalese cuisine while soaking in the beauty of the beach.

Does Restaurant Le Ngor Live Up to the Hype?

My date drove us up to Corniche Almadies, and we finally settled upon a gorgeous beachfront restaurant in the middle of the day. Beautiful paintings and structures lay in front of the restaurant, sold by a gentle old man. The clamshell and cement stairway showcased beautiful tropical plants; for a second, you feel like you’re in a lovely garden. Once seated, we were immediately given menus. Our waitress didn’t even ask and gave me me an English menu and gave my date a French one. I appreciated that gesture because I didn’t have to pull out google translate to order. I ordered the Curry coconut shrimp and my date ordered the Gambas and Thiof skewer. He loved his food and I found my food pretty tasty as well. For dessert we opted for the coconut ice cream and it was terrific. We finished off with Senegalese attaya , a mint tea that is very strong and refreshing. Overall, the food was excellent. The price was well worth it for the fantastic view of the ocean. I would visit again but next time, I’m, ordering the thiof.

Is Le Ngor Restaurant Vegan Friendly?

Le Ngor has a few vegetarian dishes available that change from season to season. I’m not sure if they’re vegan; I recommend asking about the usage of fish sauce or butter, as it’s quite common.
