What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
There is a good coffee shop/cafe (The Edge) and decent pizza place (MoJo’s) within the Peninsula area, which are safe to walk to. Other popular restaurants include Lucky Lucky (Asian fusion), Duffy’s (coffee/cafe), Euro Haus (Japanese in the Marriott building), Dirty Kitchen (fried chicken sandwiches in the RangeView mall). There are a few people who have managed to download a food delivery app and have had LuckyLucky successfully delivered to The Peninsula, but it is not a widespread practice. If you buy a local phone you can call some restaurants and order takeaway then drive and pick it up. - Aug 2025

There are no American fast-food restaurants. Generally, restaurants are expensive and are of low quality for the price. There is a new tapas place within walking distance of the Peninsula town homes with the only decent pizza I've found here. It is a breath of fresh air. There are some fancy and expensive restaurants at the luxury hotels. But generally speaking, you have to cook from scratch every meal. Around the current Embassy downtown, there are very few restaurants available for lunch. There is a surprisingly good Indian place a 10 minute walk away (you need to walk in a group). Otherwise, very slim pickings. You will need to pack your lunch. - Jun 2016
Limited options, but reasonably priced. Italian (Japello's); grill and theme nights at Yacht Club; Airways hotel (international menu with great coffee shop); Japanese (Ichizen in Town, and steakhouse above Anderson's Foodland); Ela Beach Hotel; and Lamana Hotel (some Indian options) are best. Also there is Chinese (Fui Gui and a couple others) and Holiday Inn. For cafes, only 3 options: Airways (best), Brian Bell (clean, not bad), and Boroko Foodworld. Airways has really good cakes and breads. For fast food there is Big Rooster. Pizza at Japello's and Ela Beach Hotel is very good. - Jun 2008
