Bissau Food Guide: 6 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Bissau
Still damaged by the civil wars and unrest that have marked its history, Bissau is a city in the midst of reconstruction. The city is home to many monuments and museums, including the Guinea-Bissau National Arts Institute, the newly rebuilt Bissau French Cultural Centre, the Pidjiguiti Memorial, honoring those killed in the 1959 Bissau Dockers' Strike, and the Centro Artistico Juvenil, where local youth artisans create works of art on site. Local beaches provide a relaxing respite from the heat.

Ive eaten here over 50 times in the last few years and can continue to say that you're sure to get a tasty meal here. The friendly staff will seem to be preoccupied, but in true Bissau Guinean friendly fashion, they are waiting for you to ask them for something. Ever helpful.
The Portions are excellent and filling.
Food may take time if is crowded, which on most afternoons is.
It is Airconditioned and pleasant.
The Toilet is a little cramped and narrow, but is clean.

This restaurant has a good service for Guinea Bissau standards. However the place is hidden on the main avenue. The place is very calm, avoiding many harassments of begging and sellers. The food is good, but be prepared for long wait. I had a huge lasagna and it worth waiting.

Good Italian food! Place is lovely. Also you can go after diner to take a drink. The only problem is there isn't to much diversity of wine list.

Restaurant superb - service spot on, and served quickly and with the right food (a surprise in this region).
There is a pub "Ballafon" which is a trendy inside bar, very western expat / Bissau elite.
Did not try the Hotel
Loads of food options, local and international

The Portuguese owners try their best to serve good food in a good atmosphere. They take advantage of a corner close to the pharmacy, and they manage to create a comfortable spot very succesful with expat and local crowd. The most recommended dish are the francesinhas, a big tasty Sandwich. During season I especially appreciated the oysters. Service needs to improve, but this happens in all the city.
