Ghanaian Restaurant

Try the fufu, delicious at CFA 500/bowl, generous meat portions are extra. Or, if you are feeling adventurous, try the bonkou which is fermented corn dumplings with sauce. They also have soft drinks, PureWater, etc. Owners prefer to speak English. If you want a spoon you have to ask for it. Good place to go if you are in the neighbourhood of Grande Marché.

Getting there
take a taxi to “Balafon – Pharmacie Independence” (just north of the Grand Marché); the restaurant is directly across the street from Pharmacie Independence
Hours
Open for lunch (around 12:30) or dinner, but usually closed Sundays.
