Le Paris Dakar

This French and Senegalese cafe serves up warm crêpes made right in front of you. Go simple with a lemon, butter and sugar filling; sweet with Nutella, banana, strawberries and whipped cream or savory with egg, cheese and smoked salmon. Their sandwiches are perfectly Parisian, made on crusty bread and served with brie and butter or chicken, swiss and bechamel. Pair your food with a glass of bissap, the “national drink of Senegal,” made from hibiscus and fresh mind. (It’s sweet and sour, with a flavor reminiscent of cranberry juice.) The small space isn’t a good fit for a big group, but you can’t beat it for an affordable brunch date.
