Coastal food, markets and the stories behind the dishes — eaten the local way.

We eat our way through the coast: market stalls, street snacks, and the dishes that make Mombasa families argue about whose grandmother did it best. Every stop is a place the guide actually eats at. Come hungry; leave knowing what to order for the rest of your trip.
