Equatorial Guinea Travel Guide - Going Out

 

 


Food and Drink

There are few restaurants in Equatorial Guinea and those that exist are mainly restricted to Malabo and Bata and do not necessarily open every day. Most restaurants serve Spanish or continental cuisine. Beer is usually expensive.

National drinks:
• Malamba (local sugar cane brew).

Tipping: Unless service charges are added to bills, 10 to 15%.

Nightlife

There is little nightlife except in Malabo and Bata where there are outdoor bars and lively nightclubs.

Shopping

Markets sell local produce such as beans, rice, fruit, vegetables, oil and bush meat as well as fabric and clothing in traditional African prints, hardware and local crafts. However, prices may not be much cheaper than at home because many goods have to be imported from the mainland. Expect to barter in the markets.

Shopping hours: Mon-Sat 0800-1300, 1600-1900.
