Bissap Baobab Village/ Little Baobab 🇸🇳 Authentic West African Flavors in SF
🌍 Global Beats & Vibes
🎤 Event Host

Bissap Baobab Village, formerly comprised of both Bissap Baobab and Little Baobab, embodies the culture of San Francisco’s popular and international Mission District. Little Baobab, our current home base, is an intimate bistro and club located at 3388 19th Street between Mission & Capp Street and serves lunch from 11am to 2pm, with dinner service from 4pm onward. Artisan cocktails and renowned Afr

obeat events on Friday and Saturday nights add spice to Little Baobab's offerings. Baobab Village expresses the vision of founder Marco Senghor, born and raised in Dakar and educated in Paris. His deep knowledge and appreciation of French West African culture, food, and music infuses the enticing ambiance of his establishments. Little Baobab strives to create a sense of 'teranga,' which can be translated from Senegal's Wolof language to mean “hospitality.” Teranga is reserving the best part of the meal for one's guests; neighbors taking care of one another; being accepted for who you are. As restaurant owner, social entrepreneur, and a dedicated community member, Marco has infused teranga into Baobab Village, transforming 19th & Mission into a multicultural enclave. One can truly experience the diversity of San Francisco by visiting this West African oasis.

Bissap Baobab Story

Recently relocated to 19th Street, Bissap Baobab Village embraces two distinct “huts” in San Francisco’s popular and international Mission District. Bissap Baobab, the original restaurant, has relocated to 3372-3388 19th Street, now housed in Little Baobab & Bissap (formerly Bollyhood). • Little Baobab, an intimate bistro and club, 3388 19th Street between Mission & Capp Streets serves Lunch from 11am to 2pm • Bissap (formerly Bollyhood), 3372 19th Street, a performance venue and bar, located next door to Little Baobab Baobab Village expresses the vision of founder Marco Senghor, born and raised in Dakar, educated there and in Paris. His deep knowledge and appreciation of French West African culture, food and music infuses the enticing ambiance of his establishments. Each “hut” has its own character but the two work in unison to create a sense of teranga, which can be translated from Wolof, the primary language of Senegal, to mean “hospitality,” This is where the best part of the meal is saved for the guests, neighbors take care of one another, and you are accepted for who you are. As restaurant owner, social entrepreneur, and a dedicated community member, Marco has instilled teranga into Baobab Village, transforming 19th & Mission into a multi–cultural enclave. One can truly experience the diversity of San Francisco by visiting any one of the two “huts.” •Bissap Baobab Village is composed of Little Baobab & Bissap both serving Senegalese cuisine, Afro-Caribbean food and artisan cocktails from 5pm – 10pm •Little Baobab just reopened for Lunch in May 2017 from 11am till 2pm •Bissap (formerly Bollyhood) hosts regular international dance & music performances from 8pm – 2am

Ever since first opening our doors in 1996, Bissap Baobab has brought the savory, succulent flavors of Senegal to San Francisco’s Mission District.

Our menu consists mainly of traditional Senegalese cuisine and West African specialties which have become favorites of our returning customers, whom we like to call our extended “Baobab family.”Choose from a full range of gourmet African dishes, including starters, entrees, and desserts; wash down your meal with our homemade juice drinks, one of our signature infused cocktails, or a selection of beers and spirits from all over the world.

More than just a restaurant, Bissap Baobab is a community center and San Francisco cultural institution.
