Gourmet products local specialties and wines Togo

The market is held every Wednesday. It is animated with many sellers of tchoukoutou, this millet beer appreciated by the Togolese that is drunk with a small calabash. One also discovers stalls with manufactured products, foodstuffs, livestock and art objects. The manufactured goods are affordable, while the food and livestock products are much more expensive. The market brings together all kinds of ethnic groups, many of whom come from neighboring Benin. An authentic and interesting experience.

In Togossimè, which means "market of Togo" in the local Ewe language, the market has two sectors, a normal trade sector and a barter sector, held every Wednesday in Togoville (mainly in the morning). On the barter side, land products are exchanged for sea products. At the entrance, there is the great fetish, to which men and women bring offerings and submit their wishes for a blessing for the success of their business. During the rest of the week, the market never completely dies, even if it is more timidly animated.

Popular with Togolese families, the Festival des Glaces is an ice cream parlour, a tea room with pastry shop, and a restaurant (snack bar and pizzeria). In a large air-conditioned room with aquarium and television, customers can enjoy hot or cold drinks, crêpes, salads, poultry, meat dishes or local specialties, but they come especially for their ice creams, which come in a variety of flavors. The establishment also offers breakfast formulas with fresh fruit juices and good pastries. Mediocre service.

One of the liveliest markets in the region. The Grand Marché de Lomé is a two-storey building dating from 1967. Here you'll find just about anything you can buy or sell. The first level is the stronghold of the nana-benz, who sell loincloths and fabrics for making clothes. Upstairs is a veritable jumble of crockery, tools and salvaged handicrafts. Don't hesitate to mingle in this truly unique atmosphere.

A portion of the Grand Marché was moved to the north of the city to relieve congestion in the downtown area. The operation was not as successful as expected, as the habits are still alive. However, with time, this new market tends to compete with the mythical market of Assigamé. It concentrates for the most part the market of the second-hand clothes. It sells second-hand goods at affordable prices. You can also find all kinds of products, from food to cosmetics.

The market of Koma (Sokodé) is held every Monday and Thursday. It is a very pretty and colorful market under trees and sheds.

You can buy a little bit of everything: food products, agricultural equipment, loincloths, second-hand clothes and everyday objects. The prices are affordable and one can sometimes negotiate. The shopkeepers, mainly women, welcome you with a smile. A very pleasant walk, in the heart of an authentic Togo. Not to be missed!

It is a large, lively and colorful market, where all the products of Litimé and Akposso arrive. It attracts many traders from the region as well as people from the surrounding area who come to buy their weekly supplies. It is difficult to make your way through the crowd, especially on Saturdays in the early afternoon. However, the visit is worthwhile for its joyful and authentic atmosphere. The Agbonou crossroads and the central market are important points in the economy of the city and even the region.

Every Friday, the market of Agou Nyogbo is held, important and very animated. It opens at dawn, around 6 am, and continues until late afternoon. The atmosphere is very lively all day long as it attracts many traders from the region, from Ghana and also from Benin who come to sell their products.

A real commercial crossroads for the farmers of the Kara region, the Bassar market is renowned for its many varieties of yams, but also offers many local products and everyday accessories. Located at the foot of a majestic mountain, the market place offers a beautiful and picturesque natural setting. It is pleasant to stroll through its stalls, on a pleasantly paved ground. The atmosphere is at its best in the late morning, but we recommend that you come early in the morning to enjoy the best products.

Since its opening, this establishment has won the loyalty of local and expatriate customers with its excellent French pastries and viennoiseries.
