Reviews of La Cabane du Pêcheur Atlantic Evasion

The restaurant

The location

In particular the staff made La Cabane extremely welcoming and comfortable for us - thank you! Our room was very comfortable and large, overlooking the beach full of locals doing sports, heading out to surf or fish, or swimming. The hotel guests seemed to mostly be surfers, and we felt this place was a welcome mini-oasis away from the hustle of Dakar. We would strongly recommend La Cabane for anyone looking to enjoy a local and relaxed atmosphere with less frills and more sand between the toes.

We would have loved some fruit as part of the breakfast offering! : )

The staff and the location (literally on the beach). Khalil was adorable, welcoming and funny from the moment we met. Later, I also met the owners who were very helpful to me. I had an urchin incident, my foot was painful and infected and they were so helpful.

I truly missed some sunbeds as they only have chairs. I didn’t really want to go find sunbeds at other establishments but I had to.

This is a little oasis with beachfront and high-quality seafood restaurant inside Dakar, Ngor is a stone-throw away, and you can take a cap for 10‘ to reach the Beach Clubs and Surfer Scene of Almadies. The service was excellent, here special rewards to Khalil.

There is no pool, but it is not necessary, as the beach is in front of the hotel.

The location was beautiful, amazing views and lively restaurant in front. The bed was very comfortable.

I had trouble connecting to the wifi, and our TV wasn’t working.

Very good restaurant

The food in the property is great! The rooms are also quite good. For a decent price I was able to get a small apartment. The view is just amazing as it is right in front of the beach.

The property can be noisy. The restaurant downstairs in an open planing hence you could feel the lack of privacy around. It is not a conventional hotel as you would think.

Very nice location directly at the beach. Nice rooms.

Rather on the expensive side for poor service. Specially breakfast is quite expensive and wasn’t included in our room price. Omelette is EXTRA, so we had to pay even more to top up the breakfast. Bad point is the staff: only hanging around, quite unfriendly, no wish to communicate. The person standing at the bar didn’t even bother me and on my request she gave me no good information. But the worst: as soon as her boss was around, as soon as I was approaching, the person started to smile at me in the friendliest way and talked to me happily…

Very nice location on the beach. It is a famous fish and seafood restaurant with a few rooms. We had a sea view room and it was really comfortable. Great value for money. The fact that there was this restaurant and fishing experience made the place lively. We arrived at 3 in the morning from the airport and it was a hassle free access to the room. I really want to come back!

All was well

Super friendly staff, best location and best restaurant in the area. All in one - real gem

The location is amazing, right on the beach. Fell asleep and woke up to the sound of waves. My room was nice and huge, everywhere was clean and the food was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful. You can eat inside or outside so basically you can spend the entire day on the beach, eating, drinking and people watching because there's always something happening. There are taxis right outside too and other restaurants, bars, shops and banks/cash points are within walking distance.

I can't think of anything!

What a beautiful location. Pictures dont give this place justice. The bed was comfortable, water pressure surprisingly good and everything was clean. Some noise from the beach could be heard occasionally, a dog barking or kids practicing football into the night, but nothing major. Thats the compromise of having sea views. Boats to Ngor Island leave from right in front almost non-stop. A small kiosk can be found across the street. Even though not everyone in the staff spoke english, we were able to communicate everything we needed. Especially Khalil went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Peace and love. The breakfast was simple, but decently priced compared to other places. We also loved the staff's dog, Leo.

It could be useful to include an info package in all rooms, with wifi details, breakfast times, maybe even the restaurant menu (in english), etc. Also location-wise you probably need to take a taxi to visit most places. The stunning coastline restaurants in Les Almadies can be walked to, if you like strolling around, but accessing the city center probably requires a taxi. Luckily taxis are really affordable and available 24/7 from right in front.

This place is a little gem! I was sad to leave again. Plage Ngor is a prime location in Dakar. The white sandy beach is kept beautifully clean and free of litter by the friendly local residents. La Cabane du Pecheur is exactly what it says -- fishermen bring in a fresh catch every day, which the excellent kitchen prepares into wonderful meals. Other than going for long, safe, restful walks along the beach, I hardly had to leave this charming accommodation.

The place is a paradise on earth. Great ambience and staff, close to the wonderful island of Ngor and directly on the beach. I didn't want to leave :)

The eoom they gave me was a little noisy is ot is directly in the patio restaurant.

The staff were so friendly and warm even though I couldnt communicate in French. The rooms are spacious, khalid the manager changed me to a lovely room upstairs with the ocean scenery. It was good waking up to the sea waves infront of me. I also felt safe as a female solo traveler.

The breakfast is billed separately not the traditional bed and breakfast. The restaurant is quite pricey.

The property is just steps from the beach, offering a perfect location. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious, with everything being top-notch.

Flies and other bugs can be an issue due to the property's proximity to the beach and water, which attract them.

On the beach. Superb fish restaurant on site.

Nothing though La Cabane du Pecheur is not really a hotel. It is a restaurant with rooms.

Great location by the beach. Team is welcoming and ensures a pleasant ambiance. Special thumbs up for the cook.

Room is nice and large enough. On the beach. Food fantastic.

Lack of customer service, in particular, the wait staff, but also overall, lacks a welcome or helping feeling. Feels like customers are a nusiance. It really detracts from what could be a fantastic place.

Right in front of the beach, flexible with the booking

The restaurant is amazing and we loved it but the room wasn’t very clean and I got bad bugs
