Elmina is a remarkable restaurant that offers a delightful experience of Ghanaian cuisine. Guests appreciate the extensive menu, featuring options like lobster dumplings, red red, fufu, and ribeye, all celebrated for their unique flavors and warm spices. The tasting menu is highly recommended, with standout dishes such as egusi lobster dumplings, braised goat with fufu, and duck confit with jollof rice. The atmosphere is inviting, making diners want to linger longer. Cocktails are complex and well-balanced, with the hibiscus mocktail receiving particular praise. The service is exceptional, and Chef Eric’s personal touch adds to the fine dining experience. Desserts like pudding cake and Bofrot are also highlights. Overall, Elmina is a gem for those seeking fresh, flavorful food in a welcoming setting. Reservations for the tasting menu are essential, as guests may otherwise end up with the à la carte menu.
