CASTLE RESTAURANT
Read moreThis restaurant has the advantage of being located right next to the Cape Coast castle. It offers a quality local cuisine but also meat and fish dishes with French fries or rice, as well as hearty salads and sandwiches rather well made. The food is tasty, but it is not rare that there is a little wait. The restaurant is facing the sea, but its wooden architecture does not allow a clear view. It is still a pleasant place to have lunch, before or after visiting the castle.
SOLACE SPOT
Read moreSolace spot is a maquis with a lively atmosphere, very busy on weekends. It is a nice place to have a drink and eat local food. One brings a clean cloth, a pitcher of water and soap for hand hygiene. Several compartments, here and there in a garden, are very popular with the customers. Music accompanies the meal, which is a little spicy but nevertheless of very good quality. If the buffet is not set up, you can choose between grilled fish, meat brochettes and other Ghanaian dishes made with love and know-how. Local!
CAPTAIN HOOK's
Read moreCaptain Hook's is quite simply one of the best restaurants in town. In a typical Ghanaian restaurant, you can taste a whole range of dishes based on seafood and ultra-fresh fish always from the catch of the day. The platters of shellfish to be tasted by several people are gargantuan! The side dishes are also very well prepared and the atmosphere is really relaxed. With the good smell of the ocean that saturates the air as a bonus. Add to this a nice selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and you're all set.
HAN PALACE CHINESE RESTAURANT
Read moreAs in many Chinese restaurants in the country, at Han Palace, one eats in a large air-conditioned and well kept room. The service is fast and the dishes are tasty. This place is considered by many visitors as one of the best restaurants in the city. Authentic quality cuisine, fresh seafood and a pleasant bar are some of the elements that have won over customers, despite prices that are a little higher than average for Takoradi.
BOMBAY INDIAN RESTAURANT

The varied menu lets you choose from an assortment of dishes to share, or more substantial main courses. On the menu: Indian-style snacks, vegetarian plates, meat dishes, but also local dishes for the die-hards, such as jollof rice or sandwiches. To protect your taste buds, the restaurant is kind enough to tell you which dishes are very spicy.

THE FORK
Read moreThe Fork is the local alternative to the restaurants of the two local hotels (Twitter and Ko-Sa). To get there, ask the locals in the small fishing village of Ampenyi for directions. Set back from the main road, the large, well-ventilated house is the ideal place to enjoy fufu, banku and jollof rice at good prices and prepared in the most authentic tradition. The place is often empty, giving an impression of abandonment, yet it works well and the welcome is with a smile. Perfect to get off the beaten track a bit.
Emperor Ital Joint
Read moreVegetarians, vegans, but also gourmets of all kinds, here is one of the best addresses in the city. This tiny canteen was opened by a rasta about ten years ago and has gradually made a name for itself in town. Not to be missed, on Victoria Road (in front of the Orange Beach Resort), don't confuse it with its neighbor which also has Rasta colors. The Emperor Ital Joint serves, as its name suggests, Ital cuisine (vegan diet of the rasta). The soy kebabs would fool the most discerning carnivore! Nice atmosphere. Smile.
NEW LIFE FOOD & DRINKS
Read moreLocated not far from the Emperor Ital Joint, opposite the Orange Beach Resort, New Life Food & Drinks is an alternative to the vegetarian restaurant. With its green storefront advertising all the dishes and beverages available inside, it's not long before you step through the portico and sit down on its small, shaded terrace. From pasta and rice dishes to kebabs and crêpes, all appetites and tastes should be satisfied here. Beware, though, that portions are copious. A word of advice: finish your first plate before moving on to the next!
GREEN ZION GARDEN
Read moreWith its small tropical oasis opening onto Butre beach (just past The Hideout lodge coming from the village), the Green Zion Garden has all the makings of a small paradise. Amid the lush vegetation, a few clean, well-appointed cabins for sleeping, a space for the evening log fire, and a few tables scattered here and there, in the shade of the trees, to enjoy the dishes of the chef and proprietor of the place, the friendly Ellis. On the menu are delicious "ital" dishes, otherwise known as vegan in Rasta terminology. An address that owes everything to its creator!
SUMMERYARD VEGETARIAN CAFE
Read moreOpened in 2013 by a local family, the Summeryard is a real little tropical paradise where you'd love to spend a few days... And just as well: the place has a few simple, comfortable rooms. But the main reason for visiting is to refresh yourself with fresh juices and natural smoothies. Originally conceived as a café, it has since evolved into a vegetarian restaurant! A truly wonderful discovery in Winneba.
