10 TOP LOCAL RESTAURANTS IN ACCRA TO TRY

There are so many great local restaurants on Accra’s streets, shores, and wineries that it’s hard to pick just a few to put on a short “bucket list.” But as a local (Mrpocu.com), I was able to write a book that tells you about some of the best places to eat in Accra.

I’ve been getting emails from my readers for about a month now (at the time I’m writing this post) asking me to write a guide on this topic to help them put some of these local restaurants on their dream lists since they plan to visit Ghana. Even though I have a lot on my plate, I worked hard to put them together because I always put my readers first.

Ghana’s culture is diverse, or put another way, Ghanaians come from a lot of different minority ethnic groups. Also, every single one of these people has their own way of life. All of these groups have a lot of delicious foods that come from their cultures. Some of these traditional ethnic food places can be found in Accra, the capital and most diverse city in the country. This makes it easy to try new foods without having to drive to each ethnic location.

In this piece, Mrpocu.com will tell you about some of the best places in Accra to eat local food. Some used to have traditional settings, but now some have settings for fine eating.

Katawodieso
Katawodieso can be found in Accra’s Osu La Crescent. Katawodieso is not so much a restaurant as it is a food stand on the street in Accra. Even though their most famous dish is Waakye, which is a native Ghanaian dish made of rice and beans, they are known for how good their food is. Traditional Ghanaian foods like Fufu, Banku, and Jollof rice, to name a few, are delicious.

This is clear from the long lines at lunchtime. Katawodieso has been popular in Accra, the city of Ghana, for about ten years.
