Port harcourt- Where the fish is grilled, the bole is golden and life tastes better. They call it the Garden City, but let’s be honest, Port Harcourt is really the City of Vibes. If Abuja is calm and Lagos is rowdy, PH brings that balance. Everyday here feels like a friday. From the smell of roasted plantain and pepper sauce drifting through GRA to the lively chatter at open-air bars by the waterfront, this city knows how to live, eat, and celebrate. If you’ve never had fish and bole in Port Harcourt, are you even living?
The legendary fish and bole. Forget everything you thought you knew about roasted plantain. In Port Harcourt, bole isn’t just food, it’s culture. It’s roasted plantain served with spicy pepper sauce and a grilled fish so smoky and soft it could win a Grammy. You’ll find vendors on every corner, from Choba Junction, GRA Phase 2, Rumuola, to Ada George each swearing theirs is the “original bole joint.” And you know what? They’re all right because every bite tastes like home. The sauce? Hot enough to make you question your life choices. The fish? Tender enough to make you forgive your ex. It’s that good.
Beyond the Bole, portharcourt isn’t just about food (even though it should be).
