Épi d’or in Dar es Salaam has a menu that reflects its evolution from a French bakery to a full‑service all‑day restaurant and café with Mediterranean and Lebanese influences, offering everything from breakfast items and artisan breads to hearty mains, salads and house‑made condiments you can enjoy on‑site or take away.
The offerings on the epidor menu are designed to suit a variety of meals throughout the day — from a morning coffee with pastries to a relaxed lunch or dinner.
At the heart of the epidor menu are its bakery and pastry selections, which hark back to its origins as one of the first bakeries in Dar to introduce traditional French breads and viennoiserie.
The Breads on the Epi d’Or Menu
You’ll find classic bread varieties such as baguette, baguette rustique, campagne, pain de mie, ciabatta (plain and with olives), brioche and focaccia.
These are complemented by breakfast‑style breads and rolls that work well on their own or as part of a meal. Épi d’or’s pastries include French staples like croissants, pain au chocolat, palmier, pain au raisin and apple danish, as well as richer options like almond danish, cinnamon twists and turnovers.
Cookies and smaller sweet bites also appear in the bakery lineup for coffee or tea breaks. Specialty cakes such as opera, tiramisu, mille feuilles, citron meringue and caramel banana give you dessert choices that range from light and fruity to rich and indulgent.
Epidor Dar es Salaam as a Café/Restaurant
For those who come to Épi d’or as a café or restaurant rather than just a bakery, the menu expands into breakfast and lunch offerings with a fusion of French, Mediterranean, Lebanese and Senegalese influences.
You’ll find a selection of salads and mezze‑style plates, which include items like fattush salad, hummus and pita bread, great for sharing or enjoying as a lighter meal. These dishes capture the freshness and balanced flavors typical of Mediterranean cuisine, with crisp vegetables, creamy dips and warm, soft bread. Many guests appreciate the soft, fresh pita bread as an accompaniment to spreads like hummus or as part of a mezze platter.
The restaurant side of Épi d’or also features daily specials or “plat du jour” that give you a sense of variety throughout the week. These specials rotate and might include a butter chicken served with basmati rice, beef stew with okra and vermicelli rice, chicken yassa with mustard and lemon sauce, fish filet meunière with baby potatoes and sautéed beans, or even Moroccan couscous with vegetables, chicken and lamb. Such dishes offer flavors that range from mildly spiced and tangy to robust and savory.
Beyond salads and mains, Épi d’or’s lunch and dinner components often include familiar café‑style comfort food items. Reviews and local listings commonly mention grilled dishes like kebabs, chicken with mozzarella, burgers and steaks, as well as a variety of pizzas. These reflect the restaurant’s broader appeal: it’s somewhere you can enjoy more substantial dishes as well as light bites. The menu tends to cater to both everyday diners and those looking for something a bit more special for lunch or dinner.
