LA TERRASSE, SEAFRONT RESTAURANT IN DAKAR
The scent of the sea breeze. The light of Dakar. Fine food overlooking the Atlantic. Some places need no introduction. They simply speak for themselves. La Terrasse is one of them.
An iconic brasserie at Terrou-Bi, a landmark on Dakar's Corniche, La Terrasse has been welcoming guests with the same generosity for decades. With family, as a couple, among friends or over a business lunch, everyone feels at home here. Naturally. Just like home.
Open daily from 12:00 PM to 11:30 PM. La Terrasse awaits you.
HOMEMADE. MADE WITH CARE.
Abundant natural light, sweeping ocean views and a warm atmosphere where contemporary elegance meets African identity. A place that embodies a certain Senegalese pride: understated, unmistakable and irresistible.
In our kitchen, everything begins with the ingredients. Fresh, carefully selected produce, prepared from scratch in our kitchens with the dedication of a house that celebrates the richness of local ingredients and never takes shortcuts.
Our breads, desserts and ice creams are all made in-house. Everything you taste has been prepared by hand, that very morning, just for you. Because we never compromise on what matters most: the quality of our ingredients, the traceability of our recipes and that extra touch of soul that turns a good meal into a delicious memory.
FLAVOURS THAT TELL THE STORY OF SENEGAL
Here, the sea takes centre stage. Depending on the day's catch, fresh fish and seafood inspire a generous, ever-evolving menu that follows the seasons and the rhythms of local fishermen.
Thiéboudienne, chicken yassa, grilled fish and exceptionally fresh seafood: every dish celebrates the very best Senegal has to offer. Authentic flavours, reimagined with a contemporary touch by our chef and his team.
Our aromatic herbs — thyme, rosemary, coriander and many others — are grown on-site. Picked fresh as needed, they bring an incomparable freshness to every creation. A quiet commitment that makes a difference you can taste in every bite. Because good cooking speaks for itself. It tells you where it comes from and what it stands for.
At La Terrasse, dining is about more than the food. It is about sharing, conversation and the simple pleasure of being together by the ocean. The cuisine takes care of the rest.
LUNCH BY THE SEA
From Monday to Friday at lunchtime, La Terrasse offers a menu inspired by the day's fresh arrivals and the chef's creativity. Two daily specials, including an African dish, bring something new to the table every day.
Simple, generous and full of flavour. All with the endless Atlantic Ocean as your backdrop.

BRASERO LOCO — WHEN LA TERRASSE FIRES UP
One Thursday a month, the grill at La Terrasse comes to life. Anthony Jehanno's team takes centre stage. And the evening begins.
From starter to dessert, everything is prepared on the plancha or over the barbecue. Prime rib of beef, leg of lamb, the catch of the day and flame-seared seafood: exceptional grilled flavours, accompanied by sauces crafted with care and precision. An exclusive menu created for the occasion, making every Brasero Loco an evening to remember.
Around the fire, the atmosphere grows warm and convivial. Tables draw closer, conversations come alive, and the African night wraps La Terrasse in its distinctive softness. The glow of the fire, the aroma of grilled food, the sound of the waves in the background, and flavours that linger long after the last glass.
