The best restaurants Lomé And The Maritime Region

A friendly hostel where you can enjoy international cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. The menu offers a wide range of dishes, from croque-monsieur to couscous, to Asian dishes such as stir-fried beef with Chinese cabbage. The frog legs, cooked with basil or garlic and parsley, are a real treat. At any time of the day, you can also enjoy good wood-fired pizzas, tapas and hamburgers. On Fridays and Saturdays, the atmosphere is in full swing with musical entertainment, attracting locals and expatriates alike.

The Dumenu gourmet restaurant is located on the first floor of Maison Bagui, a cozy café with a library on site, run by the same owner. In a chic and elegant setting, it offers a cuisine that is mostly Togolese and a little international. Here, grandma's dishes are reinvented to serve elaborate dishes with the flavor of yesteryear. The menu will tickle your taste buds with its Togolese-style minced beef, its duck breast with ginger juice, and its corn couscous with mutton sauce. Very nice selection of wines and whiskies.

The establishment opens onto a beautiful beach planted with coconut palms, unfortunately not very well maintained, with a few games for children. Come and relax by the ocean with a drink or a hearty meal. The menu features fresh seafood, such as prawns, lobsters and various fish of the day. Meat lovers will be delighted with beef tenderloin, guinea fowl and organic chicken. A little further on, for a night lulled by the sound of the waves, you'll find a few basic but authentic huts.

For a good meal under the coconut trees. The establishment offers refined international cuisine, with German and French specialties. You will be able to taste, among other things, charcuterie, knuckle of pork, a good sauerkraut and, for the amateurs, a Burgundian or Savoyard fondue. Also on the menu, a wide choice of fresh fish, lobsters, prawns and cicadas. Every week, the chef proposes one of his suggestions, prepared with passion. Very nice selection of whiskies and cigars. Meticulous service. Adjacent to the Foyer des Marins.

As the photos of the enormous fish pinned to the walls suggest, Philippe Marn, a keen fisherman and passionate chef, spends half his time on his boat, and the other half cooking the fruits of his catch. Every week, he puts his catch on the menu, with generous, home-cooked dishes. The menu is essentially based on fish and seafood, with the more or less spicy sauces that are his secret. The bar offers a wide range of alcoholic beverages of varying strength, providing a convivial start to the meal. Impeccable service.

Philippe and Patricia ("Philipat") offer tasty Italian and French cuisine. They serve very good wood-fired pizzas (for many the best pizzas in town!), but also lasagna, fish dishes, lobster and meat a la plancha. Also very good fresh grouper egg rolls. As an aperitif, let yourself be tempted by one of their delicious house cocktails. Possibility to sit in the courtyard or in the dining room. The team and the atmosphere of this place are very pleasant.

Lebanese-style fast food for a hamburger or a chawarma. You can also enjoy hearty dishes like grilled fish, kebabs and chicken plates. You can accompany everything with a fresh natural juice or a homemade milkshake, known for its smooth flavor. The establishment also offers good ice cream for dessert, for those with a sweet tooth. As a family, you can opt for special menus, at a lower cost. At the counter, the service is efficient and fast. However, the quality of the welcome still needs to be improved.

The exceptional setting of Pure Plage offers a gourmet restaurant under the big straw hut on the pool side and a snack bar on the beach side. The place is nice to sit down, whatever your budget. You can enjoy a panini with Auvergne blue cheese and provolone on the beach or taste a lobster directly from the fish tank. The restaurant offers a wide choice on the sea side because it also supplies itself with its own fishing. On the land side, chicken, prime rib and lamb mice are featured. A real pizza oven was missing, it's done...

In this air-conditioned restaurant, the owner, himself a cordon bleu cook, his chef and his loyal team of thirty-five year olds combine their know-how to "get the job done". Whether it's shrimps in curry sauce with spiced rice or veal blanquette with a creamy cauliflower purée, here we juggle local flavours with French classics, all well executed. The wood-fired pizzas are also worth a detour. On the way in, the bar counter welcomes customers, who usually share an aperitif before choosing a table.

This seaside resort, just a stone's throw from the port, offers an idyllic setting for spending the day with the family or for dining. The complex is made up of two restaurants, the Sushi Bar and the Canary Bar, which offer two very distinct cuisines. The first one, located in a large multi-storey hut, will please Japanese specialties lovers and the second one, in the open air, offers snacks, grills and pizzas. The restaurants open onto a magnificent beach with an artificial pool where it is pleasant to cool off. Petanque, volleyball and soccer fields.

The restaurant at the Hotel Napoléon Lagune has made a name for itself among Lomé's restaurateurs. Set beside the lagoon and swimming pool, under a large straw hut, it offers a varied menu and a very pleasant open-air setting with a beautiful view of the Bé lagoon. To vary the pleasures, the menu and à la carte dishes change daily. If it's on the slate, don't miss the famous crocodile sauce Napo, very tasty. In addition to African specialties, you can also enjoy European cuisine, including good pizzas. Professional service.

Here is an address not to be missed in Lomé for a quiet lunch or dinner, Fatou welcomes you warmly and concocts a delicious and varied cuisine, based on market products. You can sit down in the small room or on the pleasant terrace. On the menu of this restaurant: Ivorian and African specialties. Among other generous dishes, you can enjoy braised fish, chicken kedjénou orcarp Ivorian style. Very good house cocktails made with fresh fruits. Impeccable service.

Excellent fish and beautiful setting, with a superb view of the Mono River. On the menu are proposed smoked captain, skate wing with capers, cicada, caramel cream and iced nougat. Meals are served in a small wooded patio.

A few tapas and burgers to accompany the aperitif.

It is the meeting place for artists and art lovers. Decorated by Togolese painters, Le Régent looks like a Bedouin tent. The ventilated room, with its beautiful wooden furniture, is very pleasant to sit down for lunch or dinner. You can enjoy good grilled meat and braised fish. The restaurant plays excellent country and jazz music. Occasionally, live music is played in a friendly atmosphere. Careful and efficient service. A place we warmly recommend.

Chinese specialities, many of them in the capital.

An address to be recommended especially for its setting at the edge of the fitted out beach, with swimming pool and deckchairs. This restaurant of the Cocobeach hotel is mainly specialized in fish and shellfish. However, there are some meats, including a delicious chicken in cider. The menu changes every week and offers refined dishes concocted from fresh products. The establishment is well frequented on weekends, especially on Sundays by French and Lebanese expatriates from Lomé who come to have a good time. Pleasant staff.

Very nice terrace on the roof where you can eat in the evening.

It's a small street cooker.

Marie-Claire welcomes you with a smile in her family restaurant, located on the shore of Lake Togo. With your feet in the sand or in the water under a straw hut, you will be able to savor a local cuisine, prepared with fresh products from the market. The setting is exceptional, facing Togoville, half an hour away by pirogue. The place is very popular with the locals, who gather there in large numbers on weekends. The atmosphere can quickly become very lively when the artists present for the occasion improvise some African sounds, to the rhythm of the drums.
