Let's just say that this place is not my favorite place although it seems to be very popular. They have great music and decent food. However, my first experience was getting hit in the head with a broom by an inattentive waitress who was sweeping up a glass she dropped, but she did apologize. The second time I was there I was pretty much ignored and when I asked for a menu, no one came back or paid attention to me to take my order (the staff was too busy flirting with the security guard), for at least half an hour. The manager walked around asking if everything was okay on each visit but failed to understand or care about what was happening. I hope you have better luck!

We did not like the food and service. Heavily commercialised restaurant/bar with comfort food for westerners e.g pizza, burgers, e.t.c that do not taste good. Monk fish on skews was not fresh. The burger was mainly bread. You are better off eating somewhere else and coming here for a drink afterwards.

A colleague recommended this place for the pizza. It was a great place to hang out with delicious food and drinks. We left early but it looks like the evening entertainment is great as well. I am glad to have discovered this gem. Their burger is to die for

Me & my husband enjoyed our food. The live musician and ambience were great. Nice crowd of foreign tourists like us. I will definitely go back!

I tried this restaurant last year with my brother and we enjoyed it. The food was good :)

Always nice to hang out there. Food is good. On the Menue you find basically everything. From chicken to Pizza or even sushi. For sure it's not a romantic fine dining place, but all is clean and tastes good. Also there is always activities.. Live music... Karaoke etc.. Definitely a good place to hang out and chill.

Staff is friendly. However the place is full of tourists, mostly old men who are looking for a local snack to take with them. The food is below average and overpriced. Enjoying your food in peace on the terrace is impossible for every street vendors wants you to buy something.

This restaurant was the second one we hit after a rather devastating experience the previous night and what a delightful culinary experience it was. We were greated by Absa, our waitress. She was pleasant and very professional. The chef personally stopped by to welcome us and introduce the menu. I liked the fact that everything prepared at the restaurant is locally sourced. The restaurant is located in a beautiful house and is very artfully and tastefully decorated. Photos of james brown, miles davis, and most the great blue and jazz singers can be seen on the walls throughout the restaurant. This place is great for family, business, casual, and romantic dinners. The bathroom is squeaky clean. We were impressed by everything we ate there: - The caprese (goat cheese, tomato, and basilic) and warm cheese toasts were delectable. - i ordered the trio de la mer (sole, lotte, and shrimp) which was very tasty. - my 11 yr old love his chicken dish - my wife and sister ordered the filet de capitaine grille and loved it. - le gigot de lotte was also a hit with my brother in law. I highly recommend this place and would be returning next time I am in town. FYI: the place accept cash and local checks. I can't remember if they accept orange, and wave money. No bank or credit cards.

A step above the generally high standard in Saly restaurants. Friendly staff who (luckily for me) happily communicated in English. Excellent food and drinks, and even manages to be children-friendly while maintaining a high class. I had possibly the most expensive dish in the place, fish and shrimps with a superb green pepper sauce, and this still only set me back 7600. Prices not the lowest around, but well worth it.

We loved La Guinguette!! The atmosphere is amazing and the food was great!! Thanks for the hospitality.

Great local restaurant, fresh fish and a down to earth, welcoming and personal atmosphere

Very good experience, the food was good at a very reasonable price (~15k FCFA for a steak, a half-chicken, a pastis, an n/a drink, and a big bottle of water). The atmosphere was a bit quiet, but that was because we ate early, it might be louder at night. They were very accommodating of our children!

Good food and service. Hardly a fancy place, but well worth a visit.

Don’t be discouraged by the appearance of the restaurant, because the food is so delicious and comes in a reasonable portion! My husband and I both loved The Gambas and their fish options!!

Good vibes, good food, good people!!

We waited one hour for our meal, which was extremely salty when it finally arrived. There was also a guy loudly singing and playing guitar the entire time...

Very good food but lots of menu items weren't available

Atmosphere is wonderful and the owners and staff are charming! Such a pity that they do not take credit card! If so we would be back again! Starter course was excellent but the main course of fish cooked in “ paupiette “ was bland and lacking taste ! The apple and banana crumble was tres bonne! Reservation essential

The tiny little pool in the middle of the yard kinda kills the space to dance but it's a very cool place to hang with friends

Very lovely place. Good food, very friendly owners and a lovely garden. We do you want more.

We had absolutely amazing time there! The owner even transleted french words into czech to help us understand what is the food. The food was excellent! The owners are really lovely people. I would go there again!

We did not like the food. Monk fish cooked in orange sauce was hard and chewy. Prawns were basic/not tasty. There was no soap in the toilet but at least they were clean. No value for money.

Nice fish and seafood, pretty fast service. Children friendly. Clean bathrooms

Very tasty food at reasonable prices. The service was friendly, and we received the dishes after 20-30 minutes from ordering (I read opinions that the wait for dishes is long here - probably someone who wrote this has never been to The Gambia :)

Not yet come visited

If you come here, you have to try the Zebu. I didn’t get a picture of it because once I tasted it there was no stopping 😂 The sautéed and fried shrimp were also a treat.
