Baka Foto sits at Abraham Crijnssenweg 1 — the Fort Zeelandia site — which makes it the obvious pairing with a morning at the Stichting Surinaams Museum inside the fort. It is a riverside restaurant in a historic building, and it has also traded under the name Museumrestaurant Baka Foto.

That name history matters if you are searching for it: the restaurant has more than one listing on the review platforms, under both names, so reviews and photos are split across entries and none of them gives a complete picture.

We have not been able to confirm current opening hours, a phone number or a menu from any source we could read. The address was re-checked on 21 August 2026 through a Suriname business directory. Given that it shares a site with a museum that closes at 14:00, check before planning an evening around it.
