Café de Rome

Good and big size room

Quiet but central area of Dakar Plateau. Walking distance to great cultural sites (Gorée Island ferry terminal, Sandaga and Kermel markets, Independence Palace, train station, IFAN, and Museum of African Civilizations).

We recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a convenient base for exploring the city. The location is excellent, making it easy to visit the main attractions and get around.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the positive experience. Our room was spacious and included a fridge, which was a nice touch.
While the decor is a bit outdated, it didn't really bother us, as the room was still comfortable and well-equipped.
Overall, a good choice for a short stay.

I stayed at the property for 4 nights, the staff was just incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was great and the location perfect to have walk around plateau on foot. I would recommend !

I would like to recommend everyone to try once this...restaurant.. of course I will be the regular customer... I am new in dakar. staying in down town area . I tried several restaurant...but this is fantastic...try..More

Overpriced restaurant serving average food. If you could get rid of the flies in the dining room it would be a better place, service is slow, the only thing this place has is location, right on the main plaza downtown and walking distance to everything....Regular menu serving French dishes and local menus. Place could be cleaner especially cleaning place settings and tables with detergent.More

I stayed in this hotel in 2018 on a business trip to Senegal. It was indeed a great stay. The best thing about the hotel is it's location which very close to independence square and right opposite to an Italian restaurant. Staff was helping. Turn...off - Wi-Fi speed was not at par my expectationsMore

Cafe de Rome never fails me. On a hot day, it is the best place for an iced cold beer properly served. (A rare treat in Dakar). The menu is comforting for a many desires. For a full meal with or just a cup of...coffee. With its white table cloth, and elegant serving style, it's a place I am always very happy to come back for a visit.More

Staff at cafe de rome offer good service. For me the hotel is average because the wifi in my room was extremely slow, as soon as I step out of my corridor the wifi is fully working again, this shows wifi is not properly synchronised...in rooms. I was in a double room which had comfortable bed, however, the walls were unclean. The staff also did not instruct at check in that you should open cold water in the shower to have hot water, it was the reverse, I ended up showering in cold water on my first night. The floor in the room was clean. No kettle or cups for tea in the room. Clean wardrobe. Good food at restaurant. However my colleague and I suspect that they reuse leftovers because she once received jam at breakfast that seemed to be sealed but when you open it, some jam was already used.More

So this place is part of a hotel. Or is it the hotel that is part of the Cafe. It does appear to be the last one. But the smoking nearly drove me crazy. Anyways..it appears the place is reputed for high-level meetups and stuff...like that. They had security at the main entrance that will search and scan. But then I saw a back door..without much as a security guy just standing. Anyways.. place is nice and service is fast. But overall, I think it is over-hyped.More

This place was one that our team would visit any time we had a major celebration. The food was SO good. Their brochettes and mashed potatoes are so good. And their desserts are dreamy. Please go for me if you want a nice but inexpensive...meal.More

We stayed at this hotel while in Dakar for the biennale Dak’art. Rooms not bad, comfy bed and good bathroom. We enjoyed the brasserie very much. The food is good, particularly the crab salad and fish soup, but all items we had were very good....Our trip to Senegal included travel to other locations and we were in and out of Dakar, staying at other places but we always came back here to eat! The staff were attentive and fun, the female manager of the hotel is fabulous!More

Went to this place because of time. Many of the highend places close between 3 & 7. Seemed cafateriaish to me but rated high by others. Pronably need more visit.

In the centre of town, it is a great restaurant to eat at. It offers a moderate selection of international food and also has local specialties.

It is always my great pleasure to come for a lunch in this very well located restaurant. When you are in this place you feel good because the warm welcome and the professionalism of the waiters as well as the dishes listed on the card...are a must towards the customers.The food is tasteful and various particularly the grilled gambas and the crème brulée! The service is quick and most of time you will have the visit of the chef ! Great meal for your money !More

I came here for a quick lunch, between business meetings. This was my experience: POSITIVE POINTS: I am not too keen on Hotel Restaurants, but this one is actually quite good. The décor is pleasing giving you a warm feeling throughout the meal. There are...More

The hotel is in a great location, within a kilometer radius from all government offices. It is clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant downstairs has some great dishes, choose anything from the seafood menu and you cannot go wrong at decent...More

Last Friday I returned to Café de Rome - one of my favourites of the Dakar restaurant scene - and I was lucky to get even a table for one as the joint was heaving with an appreciative clientele. I enjoyed a delicious and copious...More

Nothing special but not bad either. Had a drink one of my first time in Dakar so discovered nicer places since

Nice food right in the center of Dakar. The Cafe de Rome is actually a restaurant inside an hotel. The service is excellent, and the food well presented and very good. International / european type of dishes, so that's a change from the local fares....More

We ate here on our first night in town. The seafood mixed grill was excellent. Not cheap, but the menu is extensive

This Restaurant is a good choice when you are tired and looking for a predictable meal. That is not to say the menu is boring, but rather that it presents many options, ranging from Senegalese seafood to Italian standbys. They have a decent (for West...More

Service could be friendlier. Caters more to those who feel they are of upper class. The food was fine, though not outstanding.

Cafe du Rome offers many Italian options - most of which are quite good - but expensive. I had the meat lasagne which was very tasty and fresh. The service was also pretty good. What threw me off was the atmosphere of the place. There...More

I went because friends dragged me there... Unfortunately, it must have been a bad day for Café de ROme as the service was not very friendly and the food even sadder. You can miss this one.

I know this place from previous visits in dakar. the food and service are always good standard - I didn't experience this time something extraordinary. but also to explain with the fact that it was on a Sunday night and new (weekly) menu will be...More

Couple of minutes walk from the national museum, so a nice place for coffee/lunch afterwards. Free WiFi

I have been always enjoying my stay at this Hotel... Lovely Casino, good people around... many Chinese enjoy Casino here.....

I absolutely loved the time that I spent at Cafe de Rome!!! The atmosphere is excellent and the staff is very warm and friendly. Additionally, the food is outstanding and very tasty. I would definitely recommend tourists to visit Cafe de Rome whenever they are...More
