Restaurants in Volta Region

Eating your way around the Volta Region is one of the simplest pleasures of a trip here. The twenty places on this page share a common thread: they are everyday Ghanaian kitchens and dining rooms rather than polished tourist venues, and most are known through local listings, community word of mouth or their own social media rather than through formal reviews. That means honest food, modest settings and a warm welcome.

They differ in style and setting. In Ho you will find chop bars and canteens such as Agbenohevi Food Joint, Agbenorxevi Chop Bar, Bush Canteen (Chop Bar), Hillview Chop Bar and Amen Chop Bar, alongside Prisons Canteen at Ho Bankoe, the self-service älon Restaurant & Events beside the High Court, Batatas GH at SSNIT Flat, Lord's Garden Restaurant on Housing Road and the long-established Chances Hotel Restaurant at the base of the Kabakaba Hills. Hohoe offers A1 Restaurant Breakfast & More on Hospital Road, Jerries Café opposite the GRA office, Carlito Restaurant and Club, and Ghana @ 50 Down Below off Fodome Street. Further afield, waakye lovers can look for Agbaga Waakye in Sogakope and Hadjia Djemilla's Waakye in Kpando, while Dee Love's Bistro in Tegbi and Happy Corner Restaurant near the Cape Saint Paul Lighthouse junction in Woe serve the coast.

Good to know

Before you go

Plan around towns rather than a single route: Ho and Hohoe hold most of the listings, with Sogakope, Kpando, Tegbi and Woe spread along the coast and inland roads, so group your meals by where you are staying. Chop bars and canteens tend to be busiest at lunch and early evening, and some smaller spots close once the day's food is gone. Details for many of these places are thin, so check current opening times and exact locations before setting out, and treat landmark addresses such as "beside the High Court" or "opposite the GRA office" as your guide. Ask locally, carry small cash, and be ready for menus that change with what is fresh that day.
