Where to go in Accra
Will I go back ? 🤒 Where will I be trying in 2017? Stay tuned So in 2016, I covered a lot of places I think. lol I’m not gonna lie but some of the most popular places, I haven’t even tried. Mostly because I haven’t thought about trying them Here goes my list:
Cafe Kwae: I tried it with two friends . At about 11am, so I didn’t like that they weren’t serving cocktails atleast but the guy was kind enough to make an exception. The ambiance at cafe kwae is dope. I love the look . Very cafe like lol. Had chickpea sauce and rice. It was very nice and one of my friends had their burgers. The disadvantage is the portions especially for the little burgers. You notice how tiny they are because of how divine they are. I’ll be going to cafe kwae again regardless since I saw their healthy eating menu . ❤️
Zenos Yogurt: It’s a little stand at AnC, as someone who doesn’t eat ice cream. Haven’t that yogurt for my taste buds is much appreciated. Thanks to my ex for putting me on. You got something right lmao
Bourbon cafe: As a tea person. I love to have it on the go. Bourbon was kind enough to serve me some delicious tea with their cheesecake. It’s not as sweet as the ones in the western world which is one reason I love it but it also has the right amount of cheese. A disadvantage is the price for a slice. It’s about 18.00 Ghana cedis per slice but I’ll still buy it 😩. Another dislike is the fact that I tried their fresh orange juice cause I can’t drink those boxed juices and it was more ice than juice. 😕. In all that I love their cafe, very cute with a painting that just catches your eye and it’s always buzzing with people. Also a place to catch up on some work or just chill.
Tea Baa: I think my love for tea baa is evident. I may or may not be a little bias🙃. I love tea baa for their art and how rustic it looks. If I can add pictures to this post stay tuned. It’s beautiful and it’s such a cool place to hang out, play some games and chill with your squaaaaa lol. The big disadvantage to me is how small it is. It’s just a chill spot that everyone goes there and then it gets too crowded and people have to leave. Another one is I wish they had a menu. I legit feel like we always have to stretch our necks to see the board that is always blocked by something in the way. Nevertheless, give me a bunch of vanilla tea and they’re forgiven. It’s a fave. My new friend put me on it. I had mine without alcohol but he had his with alcohol. Their food isn’t bad either. I tried their couscous and lamb at one point and tried the couscous and pork at another. I’ll say lamb won this round. My boyfriend had fried rice and lamb and I tried it. It was good too. Tea Baa is the spot for catching up with old friends. I met way too many lmao. Not to talk about the prices so reasonable . I have gone back so many times because our waitress left an impression. What a beautiful soul.
Sandbox: I was hyped to try sandbox but lately sandbox is the last place I’ll visit. First off I still don’t understand why they have no menu as they are a full blown space to hang out. Don’t get me wrong I love the vibe of sitting there and hanging out looking out at the waves and Making plans with bae lol but they need a menu. Trying to remember what they have by their waiters and waitresses is always funny like they can barely remember. I love their Long Island which I tried. My boyfriends sex on the beach wasn’t anything special though lol. He hated it. The yam fries is definitely their thing . They better not change anything for my sake . I also love the look. They have you feeling like you’re in knock off Miami. I kid. Another hide out especially on weekdays during the day time..it’s quiet .
Le Must restaurant : Can I say whoever did the interior for Le Must is definitely killing it. First off I love the look clearly lmao. It’s a vibe. Lol. Now the food I find the portions could have been better. I tried this place with my friend (Manda Panda) lol . We order a family meal cause we wanted the variety. This was a family for three meal but we were starving so we were all for more food. The food got, we had to call our waiter to ask if this was for three cause three people will not be full. We had to advice him to tell them to increase the portions cause chale Money isn’t easy to come by but change has come. We also tried these blue drinks, they were so good. 😋😋. All in all I’ll be going to Le Must again. It’s at Accra mall if you’re asking.
Papa’s Pizza: Best Pizza made in Ghana to me. I tried this at 11pm randomly . I don’t have much to say but it’s amazing to me. Good job guys
AM&PM: I was lured there by that bicycle art lol but I tried their brunch. It wasn’t bad but there’s no hype . I won’t particularly want to go back. I will try PM though maybe it’s better. I had some egg stuff and my boyfriend had the English breakfast. Honestly, pricey and okay. I’ve had better. Plus rude waiter who didn’t appreciate our tip 🙄.
Burger and Relish: My sister and I tried it. We still think it’s okay. I love the artsy vibe at the location in osu. Aside from that, they alright.
Honeysuckle: I ate here twice and they still tasted so good. Went with my boyfriend and I had yam fries and tilapia whiles he had yam fries and chicken . I loved my food but his chicken was the talk of our table. It was AH MAZ ING! Oh so good ! The second time , I tried it with my sibs, and the taste was still so good. I tried my yam fries with wings this time and It was great. Loved it. The only thing I hated was their waiting time. Almost an hour fam. A whole hour. I suggest calling before you get there. Ohhh tried their drinks too a whole bunch of sugar in mine but my boyfriend has this lemonade cause he wanted the sourness and it was amazing. They really gave him sour. Lol
Vida e Caffe: My to go go to place. I usually get salads and a tea from them whenever I’m passing by. My brother put me on. Let’s just say I’ll be going back everyday lol.
Sai: It’s a wine and champagne place and they have the vibe going for them. I want to post the pictures of how cute their place is. Aside from that, I’ve tried it twice. I went with my Manda Panda and it was okay. She tried the salad but I wasn’t really hungry so I had wine and some calamari. The prices are amazing. However we we were stalked by ants 😭..our table was breeding ants. I was slightly worried but the owner is so friendly it makes you forget about the bad. She was engaging . I went again for brunch with my boyfriend, stalked again by mosquitoes and a fly. I feel like it’s cause of the location but my boyfriend wasn’t bothered lol..he loved it. There was also the problem of we don’t have it at the moment . Please if it’s on the menu can it be available or let us know before we choose it that it’s not available? My boyfriend changed his order twice cause it wasn’t available. I will be going back though, good food and vibes. Super friendly workers who were in all of our photos. They were the muses.
Koffee Lounge: I hadn’t tried Koffee Lounge but I had been in there 50000 and ten times. I was like I have to eat there. I’ve been in there too many times , it was starting to bother me. Lol. My boyfriend is always eating there and his order is assorted jollof. So when I tried it , I went for that to see why the attachment to it. Koffee Lounge is not pricey and a lot more food than I expected. So much food I tell you. I was so full. The food wasn’t exactly what I thought it’ll be because it’s always so packed but will I be going back? Hell yeah. I see the addiction.
Wafflemania : Went to wafflemania very early one morning. It was barely open but they cleared it up quickly to make sure my boyfriend and I were fine. Another plus, their wifi actually worked lol. I take that very seriously . I had their pancakes which was so yum and my boyfriend had their waffles with pork . It was even better . Such a small place producing great things . Lol , see you again.
Venus: Venus has been opened for years. As someone who is always last to go anywhere, I just tried them. Great drinking spot and chilling spot for pre drinking. Unfortunately tried their wings and it tasted like it came out a pot of stew. I will be going back there for the drinks but no more wings. Lol , it’s in Osu btw.
Jamrock: It’s this little Jamaican place. The vibe is cool and it’s never crazy packed. I love it. The food is also great. I tell you it’s almost like they hired a bunch of Jamaicans to cook. I had oxtail with the rice and beans. I also had some sweet potatoes as it was a craving. I will go back there. I keep saying it but I haven’t done it yet.
Yah: I think that’s what it’s called. I wanted to try something different when zenos was around the corner. It was so bad. My sisters review : it tastes like nido. Doesn’t seem like we will be returning.
Labadi beach: I’ve been to the hotel but I haven’t gone to the other side. My boyfriend wanted to go to the beach so I was like why not. It’s actually a cooler place if you ask me. There’s more to do in my opinion. Then I tried their food. It was yam with grilled chicken. The food was alright , too much of the salad cream and mayo stuff but that chicken was A1. The other disadvantage was the obsession over what colour chair you’re sitting on and what restaurant it is for . My boyfriend had a fit lol. Some chairs are cuter though. The flies too are a thing I’m not interested in. May or may not go back 🙃..I kid. I will
Kona: Such a chilled vibe for the weekend if you’re not trying to do too much. It’s super cool. I went with a bunch of friends. Let’s just say eventful 😆 Royal Senchi: Went for their lunch buffet with my family. Honestly it was okay. Nice views though. I'll go again when I can.
PS: I didn’t have time to read over 😕
