Our history

Welcome to Taiyo, an oasis of Japanese flavors in the heart of Dakar. Since our opening in 2021, our mission has been to transport our customers on an authentic culinary journey through the delights of Japanese cuisine.

The story of Taiyo begins with a determination to share this passion with the people of Dakar.

The Taiyo restaurant aspires to offer an immersive experience that celebrates the flavors, traditions, and hospitality of Japan through the beauty and diversity of its cuisine


Taiyo


The name 'Taiyo' itself carries significant meaning. In Japanese, 'Taiyo' translates literally to 'sun.' It's a term that goes beyond its simple definition, evoking warmth, vitality, and light. For us, Taiyo represents the vibrant energy of Japanese culture and the warm hospitality we offer to our guests.

At Taiyo, we believe that food is more than just sustenance - it's a full-fledged experience. We are honored to welcome you into our home and offer you a little corner of Japan in Dakar. Come visit us and let yourself be swept away by the magic of Taiyo..
