Senegal Restaurants

North and west African flavors merge with Portuguese, French, and many ethnic influences in a place that’s known for having some of western Africa’s finest cuisine. The large Muslim population means there’s hardly any pork here, but seafood, peanuts, lentils, and black-eyed peas are plentiful. Peanut sauce is common with meat and vegetables. Don’t miss the fresh juice drinks made with ginger and hibiscus, effective digestives after the country’s signature sweet, rich desserts like banana soup and couscous pudding.
