Popenguine

Contact: Bineta

There are many cheap rice and fish shacks found around the village. It's a great way to try out the local dishes without having to splurge. A plate usually costs about 500CFA.

Popenguine has many different types of restaurants to meet the needs of any type of tourists. One can find a wide variety of foreign dishes; such as, french and italian as well as local Senegalese dishes; such as yassa poulet chicken over rice covered in a tasty onion sauce, and ceeb u jen rice and fish. Ceeb u jen is the national plate of Senegal. The best restaurant to order Ceeb u jen is at Ker Cupaam, otherwise the ceeb shacks in the village are the next best option. As Popenguine is right by the ocean, you can be sure that seafood will be prevalent in the menu, and it would be a wise choice to select it. For the vegetarians, the restaurants under the "Splurge" section offer vegetarian plates. As for the other restaurants, they do not have vegetarian plates offered on their menu, but they are very hospitable and will make a vegetarian plate for you if you demand it.
