The Songhai centre restaurant serves all the food that is produced and grown in the agricultural centre just yards away. After our tour we ate a delicious lunch here. I had salad with beetroot, fish tomatoes, lettuce and onions, followed by pigeon casserole with lots of lovely mixed vegetables and freshly squeezed fruit juice. My guide and driver had a local pork dish with cassava.
The restaurant is open on 2 sides so is nice and naturally cool and staff are friendly. Daily dishes are shown on the blackboard and there is plenty of choice – but only natural products grown here. You won’t get a coke!
You can’t get any more fresh or organic than this, and coming from a country where everything is chilled, transported and packaged, I could really taste the difference!
