Chambre zen chez un couple de retraités — Yoff Layène

Your host, Ibrahima

Host since 2022

A Ngor fisherman, like my father before me. I take the pirogue out at five and I am back by eleven, so if you want fish for lunch, tell me the day before. I have been renting out the family house since my daughters left to study. I do not speak English, but my nephew does, and he lives two doors down.

The dish I cook best
Le thiof braisé au four à charbon, avec du riz et des oignons. Je l'achète à onze heures sur la plage, on le mange à quatorze.
My favourite corner of the neighbourhood
Le bout de la plage du village, du côté de l'île, à six heures du soir quand les pirogues rentrent et que les gamins jouent au foot sur le sable dur.
What teranga means to me
C'est simple : personne ne repart de chez moi sans avoir mangé. Même si vous êtes arrivé à minuit, il y aura quelque chose sur le feu.
What I always recommend
Prenez la pirogue pour l'île de Ngor le matin, pas l'après-midi : la mer est plate et vous aurez la plage de derrière pour vous.
My first guest
Un couple de Bordeaux, en 2022. Ils sont revenus trois fois depuis et le mari sait maintenant réparer un filet.

Getting there

From AIBD: 53 km, 1 h to 1 h 20 on the motorway then the VDN and the Yoff road. From the Plateau: 15 km, 30 min on a clear road, an hour at peak times; taxi 3,000-4,000 CFA. Dakar Dem Dikk buses serve Yoff via the airport road and the VDN. The Almadies are 10 min away, Ngor 5, Mermoz 20. Inside the village many lanes are sandy and unsurfaced: an ordinary taxi will drop you at the edge of the quarter, not at the door.
