The fastest way to understand a city is to eat where it eats.

What is the Accra food tour?

A guided tasting tour through Accra’s food, from street-food staples to sit-down local favourites. You’ll follow a guide who knows the city’s kitchens — sampling dishes like jollof, banku with tilapia, kelewele and waakye, hearing the story behind each, and eating at spots that don’t show up in a search. It’s the tastiest crash course in Ghana there is.

Hands sharing a Ghanaian soup dish family-style on an Accra food tour — Ghanaian food is shared — and this tour shares the best of it.
