Togo map

Togolese cuisine centers on maize, cassava, and yams, paired with richly spiced peanut and tomato-based sauces. Fresh fish from the Atlantic coast also features prominently.

Fufu, pounded cassava or yam, commonly accompanies rich vegetable and meat stews. Pate, a firm cornmeal dish, remains a widely eaten Togolese staple.
