La Marmite Senegauloise

Lovely atmosphere, service and great food! Most restaurants nearby were almost empty and yet still said they were completely booked, so we stumbled on this really nice place. There is a nice terrace that you can't see from the street. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The menu consists of a small number of varied dishes that also differ from day to day. Can definitely recommend going here! They also have a nice home-made spice rum. We went back a second time and were in luck. They had the Senegalese national dish on the menu!

A surprising Senegalese restaurant. I went inside since I was really hungry, and the Google Maps reviews were promising. Upon entering, it didn't seem very busy, but I was immediately guided to the outside garden, which had a different, relaxing atmosphere The menu is written by hand on a board, and the waiter was very patient, explaining the different dishes. All in all, the menu was quite limited, especially since all the entree plates were deep fried, which I avoid. But the main course, a beef stew with rice and currywas tasty and satisfying. The dessert - a mango tatin - was absolutely amazing! I paid 22 Euros for my dinner. Enjoy.

Absolutely the best discovery in ages and not only in terms of food but also service and surroundings. There is absolutely nothing negative to be said. From the starter to the desert it was a pure delight. Fresh ingredients, beautiful blend of spices, original recipes and lovely staff with a great terasse and garden. I wish I lived in Rennes just to declare this as my place to go regularly and introduce to my friends, family and colleagues. Ps they also organize work lunch/dinners! Well done guys!!!

Amis gourmets et gourmands, Je ne connaissais pas la marmite sénégauloise. C’est un restaurant à découvrir à Rennes. Vous y serez très chaleureusement accueilli par une famille de remarquables cuisinières. J’ai pris en entrée la gambas à la Saint-Louisienne. Précipitez-vous sur ces grosses crevettes avec un accompagnement d’oignons, gingembre et épices. Un délice, un vrai dessert pour commencer le dîner. En second plat, j’ai commandé le Thieboudiene, le plat national du Sénégal, plat de l’Unesco. Un plat servi avec beauté : aubergine, pomme de terre, carotte et le riz revenu cuit dans le bouillon de sauce des légumes et du poisson servi au milieu. La photo donne très envie et la dégustation est une merveille pour les papilles. Je suis ravi d’une telle cuisine épicée sans piment ! J’attends avec beaucoup de gourmandise mon dessert : gâteau ananas coco. Si vous avez la chance d’être les derniers servis, vous bénéficierez d’une discussion très cordiale avec les deux cheffes, des jumelles ! Vous y ferez davantage connaissance avec la cuisine sénégalaise. Sachez que le restaurant change sa carte tous les jours. C’est une super expérience à renouveler mensuellement !
