Waly Fay

This easygoing ‘loungin’ restaurant’ attracts a rather hip crowd for the African food with a West Indian twist served to the sounds of soul and jazz. For starters, the pepe (fish soup) is deliciously smooth and highly spiced. For mains, the tiéboudienne (rice, fish and vegetables), Senegal’s national dish, and beef n’dole with wild greens are recommended by the staff; you might also consider the copious mafé (beef simmered in peanut sauce) served with rice and aloko (fried plantain bananas). The distressed walls and low lighting add warmth to the surrounds. The ginger ice cream goes down a treat.
