  • African dishes are some of the most comforting meals you’ll ever eat. When visiting Monrovia, Liberia, trying as much traditional West African food should be at the top of your list! Going to West African restaurants in Liberia can really make for an experience that feels even more authentic.
    There are many different kinds of West African restaurants that vary from cold bowl shops (super cheap meals) to fine dining spots. In this video, you’ll learn more about three of the best Liberian eateries, you’ll get an idea of what traditional Liberian cuisine looks like and you may even notice some popular West African foods that other countries on the continent are known for as well.
    Do any of these dishes look familiar and/ or would you try them?
    For an even closer look at these dishes and the restaurants mentioned here, read my DETAILED BLOG POST about it on tripsanddip.com.
    This video is the first of many to come in my LIBERIA SERIES, so SUBSCRIBE and stay tuned! Let me know what else you want to learn more about when it comes to Monrovia, Liberia.

    Finally, you said Musu Spot was the only restaurant that did not cheat on the portions. Hmm. The first two restaurants had a lot of food. If they are cheating on the portions, it's a good thing. Better to keep it on the down low. I mean, you would be saving lives and fighting obesity 😢😢
