EATERIES AND RESTAURANTS

Legon has several "restaurants". The two most popular ones are the Bush Canteen and the Night Market.
Hey, don’t get it wrong-the bush canteen is not located in a bush. It is probably the most popular spot. You can buy neat, nutritious food at affordable prices. The equivalent of 3dollars (maximum) can get a person a decent meal. Most students go there during the day.

But in the evening, it is the turn of the night market (They do sell food in the day as well, though not as much as in the night). It is very busy there in the evening, up to about 11-12pm. Like the bush canteen, they serve various Ghanaian dishes.Apart from these, students also buy food at the various dining halls of the main halls of residence. The food there is somewhat more expensive than the other canteens mentioned above.Food vendors can also be seen in unconventional locations on campus, especially in the evenings.In spite of the restaurants, many students find it more profitable and hygienic to cook their own food in their halls of residence. Electric and sometimes liquefied petroleum gas stoves are used in doing this. Much of the uncooked food is available for sale on campus.
