A good place to have dinner in Bolga is a place called Swad Fast Food. It is located at the point where the main road to Navrongo/Paga meets Bazaar Road.
Swad Fast Food doesn't have anything to do with fast food. Yes, they do serve pizza and french fries, but a lot of other good dishes too. On their menu are both local Ghanaian dishes like jollof rice, fufu, and redred, but they also have "continental" and Indian food. And "fast" is not the right way to discribe the personnel. But since the food is OK, there is no need to complain.
On the menu there also was a "breakfast"part that looked really interesting, but when I returned there the next morning there was no sign of any activity, so no breakfast...

The International Traveler's Inn isn't a hotel but a hang out for Peace Corps volunteers and others who visit Christi Atubiga and her family. There's a television, several refrigerators and freezers with things to eat, and one of the boys will make you a quick sandwich. Breakfast and coffee is the main meal of the day at this restaurant.
Favorite Dish: Conventional breakfasts that travelers from Europe and the US would appreciate. The freezer full of a frozen yogurt product known as Fan Ice, which comes in a plastic bag, is what I usually stopped in to buy.

I didn't see anything in Bolgatanga that could be serving as a restaurant in the common sense of the word;
however you can find some chopbars and several street stalls, usually choice out of 1 or 2 local dishes.
The market (on the corner near the Investment Bank) is also a very good place to check out. I ate several times kenkey (dinner) or riceballs in peanutsause (lunch) here.
Although there's no electric lights and you cannot really see what you eating, the cooking is good and you can have a nice chat with the people around. Far less than $1,--
The most pleasant option is to eat at some hotels (such as St. Jospeh), choice and quality is usually not better than others, but at least there's light, a chair and a cold beer!
