Best Restaurants in Accra (2026)

Eating well is one of the great pleasures of Accra. For traditional Ghanaian cooking in a comfortable setting, Buka in Osu and the buffet at Azmera Restaurant are excellent introductions, with light soup, groundnut soup, fufu, banku, waakye and kelewele. Big Joseph T in the Airport Residential Area shows the casual chop-bar side of the city, with big plates of jollof at low prices, and Chez Amis in East Legon brings Ivorian grilled fish and attieke.

Accra's modern dining scene is growing fast. Makosa, inside Sandbox Beach Club, serves creative pan-African dishes by the ocean, and Le Petit Oiseau blends Ghanaian sauces with French technique. Santoku is the city's best-known Japanese restaurant, Pomona serves Neapolitan-style pizza and pasta in Osu, Bistro 22 in Labone is a reliable international all-rounder, and Chilli Ji covers Indian and Indo-Chinese favourites.

Book ahead at weekends for the upmarket restaurants, many of which take reservations online or by WhatsApp. Ghanaian food can be very spicy, so ask about heat levels. Card payments are common in mid-range and upscale places, but carry cedis for chop bars, tips and taxis, and check bills for service charges.
