This show of hospitality is not limited to sights alone, their indigenous cuisines make your stay memorable.
If you intend visiting The Garden City of Port Harcourt, there are foods you
should ensure you try for your stay to be said to be memorable.
Bole & Fish
During your visit to The Garden City, ensure to taste the Port Harcourt Bole. The Port Harcourt Bole is life-giving, spirit soothing, and has the ability to send one on an orgasmic journey. The Port Harcourt Bole is the best Bole you can get anywhere in the world. Well, what do you expect when the first-ever Bole that was made was made right in the City of Port Harcourt?
Bole is a combination of roasted yam eaten with roasted fish and peppered stew sauce with a lot of red oil. For a better taste, ensure you devour the Bole with your natural cutlery (your fingers). Lol
Onunu
Another food you should try is the Onunu. Onunu is a type of swallow that is popular amongst the indigenous people of Kalabari. It is made by pounding ripe boiled
plantain and yam together with red oil. This can be eaten with fresh fish
pepper soup.
Fisherman’s soup
There is no way you will visit Port Harcourt and not be treated to a Fisherman soup.
This soup is said to have gotten its name long ago because it was the soup most fishermen prepared after a day’s catch. 
This soup contains almost all the seafood you can think of. From shrimp, periwinkle, crayfish, fresh fish, snail, etc. You can actually ask to be served Onunu with the Fisherman’s soup.

Rivers Native Soup
Rivers Native soup is one of the most popular soups in Rivers state. It is said that it is one of the most expensive soups in Port Harcourt. Just like every soup in Rivers state, everything seafood is abundant in this soup. Some people have argued that it is almost the same thing with the fisherman’s soup except for the soup thickener (Ofor or Achi) and beef added.
