About this experience

A greedy little checklist of the Ghanaian foods you have to try at least once. No strict schedule, no pressure – just vibes, pepper, and carbs. Tick things off in any order, discover your favourite spots, and argue forever about who makes the best waakye or jollof. Perfect for visitors, returnees, and locals pretending to be tourists for one weekend.

Bucket List Items

Waakye Breakfast

Start your Ghana food journey the right way – waakye on a plastic chair, before 11am, with all the dangerous sides. Add shito, gari, spaghetti, egg… then immediately question your life choices.

Fufu at Chop Bar

Sunday afternoon fufu with light soup, groundnut soup or palm nut soup – eaten with your hands, seated under a fan that’s trying its best. Don’t cut the meat with your teeth like a tourist; bite small, swallow small.
