La Pointe Nord

This restaurant is in the north of Dakar, in a quiet neighbourhood quite a way from the downtown area. The restaurant itself isn't much - a small space with three or four paintings, decorated with African paintings and masks. It's quite old, but it's clean and the food is good. It mostly serves local food, but there are also some international dishes, like pasta. But it's best to try the country's cuisine, with lots of spices and seasonings. The chicken, for example, is amazing, with a delicious sauce. The fish isn't bad, either - I don't remember what variety we had, something that they recommended, with a thousands spices.
