Elmina is the kind of place with wide-reaching appeal, where a warm spirit and a stylish, contemporary decor encourage lingering over Chef Eric Adjepong's modern West African/Ghanian cuisine. Choose between a multicourse tasting menu or the à la carte bar menu, a play on Ghana’s popular, counter-service-style “chop bars,” with snacks like tartare, okra fries and pork belly. Those who opt for the tasting will be rewarded with the likes of scallop crudo with cucumber granita and coconut broth, as well as braised goat with fufu, or pounded plantain and cassava, and a tableside pour of creamy, deep orange-red nkati nkwan sauce. Malva pudding cake with sweet, pickled apricot and vanilla gelato is a delightful ending.
