Aux Délices Du Fleuve
Known as the original patisserie of Saint-Louis, they serve pastries, omelets, pizza, desserts (try the chocolate ice cream or a piece of cake) and hot drinks. They also have Wi-Fi if you need to get online. Prices for the pastries start at 400 CFA. It's off the Rue Blanchot & Quai Roume.

Saint Louis Cathedral
The oldest functioning church in West Africa, this Roman Catholic church was opened in 1828. Perhaps surprisingly, Saint-Louis didn't have a real church before this, despite almost two centuries of European presence here. It's the seat of the Diocese of Saint-Louis du Sénégal.

Flamingo
It's right on the river, it’s a great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink and you can swim in the pool for 4000 CFA, they have the only pool on the island that is not inside a hotel. The food is a little pricey, with entrees starting at 4000 CFA but a swim in the pool could be worth it.
