Cape Coast has a good range of local food — grilled tilapia with banku, jollof rice, and kelewele (spiced fried plantain) are staples. The area around the castle and the university both have clusters of chop bars and small restaurants. Fresh coconut water is sold on every corner — the vendor will hack the top off for you. Several places along the main road cater to visitors with a mix of Ghanaian and international dishes.
