    Liberia’s hotels, motels and restaurants serve a variety of American, European, Asian, Chinese, Lebanese and African dishes, as well as the more predictable fare of hotel dining rooms. Here, as well as in the smaller towns of the north and east, the visitor should enjoy sampling some of the more unusual West African foods in ‘cookhouses’ which serve rice with traditional Liberian dishes.

    National specialties:
    • Goat soup is a national favorite.
    • Cabbage cooked with bacon and pigs’ feet.
    • Palm nuts with shrimp in fish or
    chicken stock.
    • Rice bread made with mashed bananas.

    National drinks:
    • Liberia produces a lot of its own brands of alcoholic drink, which are readily available – some of the beers are excellent.
    • Ginger beer and palm wine are popular.
    • Wines and imported beverages are also available.

    Tipping:
    Tips are normally around 10%.

    Nightlife
    In Monrovia, nightlife is extensive with dozens of crowded nightclubs, discos and bars open until the early hours. Most of the nightlife centers on Gurley Street. Providence Island has a bandstand and an amphitheater where performances of traditional African music and dance are staged.
