SenegalStyle FOOD!!! B&B (MEANS: Bed, Breakfast AND DINNER!)

WELCOME to SenegalStyle B&B GUESTHOUSE!





23 Euro a night pp includes a HEARTY AMERICAN STYLE Breakfast & DINNER:

 Dustin - a (vegetarian YES, WE DO!) student at SenegalStyle French Language School, enjoying a hot breakfast of French Toast with Wild Bee Honey imported from Guinea and 
fresh WHIPPED CREME!



Turkey & Cheese Omelet w/freshly Baked & Buttered Bread
A BIG STACK of Homemade (not boxed!) BANANA PANCAKES!

and other equally filling breakfast items.

For Dinner, we serve food from EVERYWHERE (including Senegal!) but as you know 'AMERICAN' is Italian, Chinese, Spanish or:  
MEXICAN... my delicious SenegalStyle Chimichanga (Tex Mex Meets West...Africa!)

or 
 SOUTHERN SOUL FOOD!


Baked (Organic) Chicken Quarters with Homemade BarBeQue Sauce, Potato Salad and SenegalStye fresh, HOT CORNBREAD!

Sometimes we get some QUIRKY REQUESTS from VOLUNTEERS working in Village encampments who come to Dakar for a little R&R and get away from rice, rice and MORE RICE!!  

I do what I can to make them feel like they are 'back home' during the time they spend here in the city.  For example:
A Big Ol Dog Gone 3 TEIR DAGWOOD SANDWICH, Chips & A HUGE MILK SHAKE! 

And OF COURSE I make GREAT FOOD for my VEGETARIAN FRIENDS as well!  See what Dustin (above) says on www.TripAdvisor.com, the internet's

After searching online for weeks for a place to stay in Dakar while studying French and doing some sightseeing, I found SenegalStyle. From the first email I was hooked. Sineta and Jonathan are the most welcoming folks imaginable, and made me feel at home from the minute I walked in the door. My room was large and comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast and dinner were always excellent, and as a vegetarian travelling in Africa that's often a challenge.

Among other things, Sineta organised daily French lessons for me with an excellent teacher (a university lecturer); helped sort out travel arrangements for out-of-town travel; and introduced me to the ins and outs of Dakar, from neighbourhoods to schools to nightclubs to museums. She was always ready with information or advice, and it was always thorough.

I can't recommend SenegalStyle highly enough. A comfortable stay, excellent food, top-notch advice, real knowledge of the city and Senegalese culture, and at a price that fit in a grad student's budget. I'll be back.


And we'll be here with a hot cup of organic tea waiting, 
when you come!

SenegalStyle BED & BREAKFAST GUESTHOUSE!


My name is Sineta George and I'm 'Doin' it SenegalStyle!' - 12 years I've been here in Dakar, Senegal, West Africa and I LOVE IT! 

Our HIGHLY RATED Bed & Breakfast Guesthouse is €23 euro  pp a night  (room only, no meals) or €31.5 euro pp a night INCLUDING BOTH breakfast & dinner!  If you're an economy traveler, it may seem cheaper to just take the room, but getting the meals (optional) actually saves you money in the long run because you aren't going out to restaurants and paying for taxis.  Eating lunch out is your only expense and actually, our breakfasts are usually so filling most people SKIP LUNCH!

ATTENTION NGOs, EMABASSIES, & BUSINESSES based in Dakar:

Consider using SenegalStyle Airport Escort Service and our BILINGUAL GUIDES for your VISITING STAFF.  Let's be honest, sometimes outside visitors are totally overwhelmed by the CRAZINESS with the tourist touts and street vendors at the airport, giving them a negative perception of Dakar in particular and then, based on that first impression, it spreads to Senegal in general.  That's NOT GOOD for you, them or the country as a whole.  Even if you have Senegalese drivers, if they do not speak English or French (only Wolof), it further frustrates your visitors because if there's a problem with luggage, there's still no one there to help.  SenegalStyle's guides are bilingual Americans and Senegalese who know the people and culture at the airport.  Our escorts will be there to meet them at the gate, help get money changed or take them to the atm (better idea), purchase a local phone card and take care of any problems that may crop up during the flight. Then they will take your staff to their hotel, office or other final destination, safely and securely.  Late night flights in particular are rough on visiting staff.  We can house them in comfort at our SenegalStyle guesthouse and in the morning, after breakfast, your driver can come pick them up or we can arrange a car and driver to take them to the office for you.   
= 46 Euro for Airport Escort Service AND SenegalStyle B&B overnight accommodation!
