Top Local Tips for Lome

hotels You have to look around but there are decent places to stay in Lome.

Tipping There are relatively few restaurants of European standard still in Lome though we found a new one called Chez Laurent on Boulevard Circulaire this time. Relais de la Poste, Golden Crown, and King Georges Beach are long time favorites. Though the customers will be mostly European with a few wealthy Togolese, do bear in mind that although you may be paying elevated prices the staff serving you may be earning 1 euro or 2 US dollars per day (and be glad to do so). Do not make the mistake of adding 10% tip to your restaurant bill as you risk paying them several weeks wages in one tip. That will distort the local labour market, to no one's advantage. Think instead of adding CFA 1000 which roughly equates to one day's pay.

Hotel Taxis Here are Okay The taxis at the hotel are much better quality than any available on the streets. Hire a car & driver and have them wait for you during meetings or dining.
