Daisy’and Kwami's Guide to Accra
Food scene
I love to eat. These are a few of my favorite spots around town.
This is my absolute favorite dinner spot in Accra. The food is local, delicious, and cheap! I recommend the grilled chicken, attieke, alloco, and avocado salad.
If Dominique of Jacqueline are around, tell them Daisy sent you!
Note: They are only open for dinner Tues - Sun.

The Catfish Grill @ CENCOR Venue
Gulf StreetHot and delicious grilled catfish. Must like spicy food!
Excellent for a fancier dinner out. Beautiful atmosphere, good food. If your portion size is anything like a Ghanaian man's, you should lay a foundation elsewhere before coming here (i.e., small-ish portions).

Sightseeing
Excellent place if you want to spend a few hours or whole day in nature and/or doing something more physical. The botanical gardens is good for a walk, and their obstacle ropes course is very fun if you're looking for a physical challenge.

Good if you want a drink on the beach. Be warned, beaches are not the cleanest in Accra but this is as good as it gets while still keeping it local.
