If either of you know secret spots in Accra, please say so! <br /><br />Hi Christina, I'm so glad you went and tried Eli's and thanks for commenting about it, too. It's exciting to know someone reads this and actually goes and tries it out. I know a lot of people who love Eli and will be really happy about this. I love the grilled cheese! I think I must have eaten roughly 300 meals there and they were all great. Even the snails (someone made us try them) in stew. The snails were awful but the stew was fantastic. I'm envious you're so close. Mac and Edward: Thanks. If either of you know secret spots in Accra, please say so!

I should have been clearer. Eli uses palm oil for her Ghanaian customers but doesn't use it for travelers and tourists--she generally cooks for them with vegetable oil. If visitors really want palm oil, they ask for it and she'll cook with it. Hi Rachael, You're right. I should have been clearer.

The food is truly wonderful, wholesomely healthy, and leaves you feeling warm and contented. There is actually no other place in Ghana where the food and company are as good (and this is saying a lot!) Love you Eli! When I am in Elmina I only eat at EliMax.
