Dining Tips for Dakar

Local insights from travelers

Peanuts: The roasted peanuts you can buy on the street or get with your order of beer in any bar are delicious. These nuts are not greasy and have just the right amount of salt, and sometimes are still slightly warm from being roasted.

Drinks & Nightlife

Gazelleis the local favourite beer - it comes in serious bottles, or Flag, which is stronger and more expensive.
