        Hi Rose
        We are aware of Dstrkt 24 its a really nice place in Lagos Road, East Legon. It has not made it into our 20 must try so far as we have had limited feedback and recommendations. But please give it a review we have noted your recommendation

    Nourish Lab is not really a restaurant more a cafe and hangout, they need to sort out their shabby looking exterior though

    Post Review
  5. EddieP on October 17, 2020 9:50 am

    Yes, “Nuff Respect” that Duncan’s made this list. This is my ultimate favourite. Republic gets rammed. But this place is just local simple and just good

  6. Wilson99 on July 21, 2020 9:57 am

    Paloma’s does not really serve local food well, they seem to be good at international dishes

    Bistro 22 he staff attentive and the food is good, example pasta with crab meat, decent ambiance but it is pricey

  9. Afia (accra) on April 30, 2020 9:22 am

    Tea Baa however, good it is when we went the food took forever to arrive. When it finally arrived, it was a small portion of food.

    Why isn’t Urban Grill on this list they are have super attentive and hospitable waiters and they have good Covid measures

  11. Patricia OT on April 21, 2020 9:19 am

    The owners is really nice and friendly at Mamma Mia and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. Pizzas can be a little expensive though

    Post Review
  12. Kobina143 on March 19, 2020 9:25 am

    Santoku should be on this list as when we visited the food was outstanding and really well plated. The cocktails were great. The only downside is that it felt like some of the waiters did not have full knowledge of what was on the menu

    Post Review
  13. Esther78 on January 15, 2020 9:45 am

    How did Khana Khazana get listed, there are other Indian restaurants in Accra. Personally I would have listed Charkara Lounge, 1 Standfast street..but that is my choice (:-))
