A
Monsoon
Incongruously located above a fast-food court, Monsoon is Accra's most upscale restaurant. The menu includes interesting items like warthog filet and crocodile tail. You may get snooty looks if you're dressed for tro-tros (minibuses or pick-ups). A more casual cigar lounge and sushi bar is attached.

Buku
Ghanaian, Nigerian, Togolese and Senegalese specials are lovingly prepared at Buku, where the stylish 2nd-floor open-air dining area is reason alone for coming.

Restaurant Akwaba
Friendly service, decent African food and spectacularly kitsch ceiling fans (they even turn them on sometimes but only when you ask) are the order of the day here. The mainly Ivorian dishes take a while to prepare but the foutou (sticky yam or plantain paste) is strangely addictive and goes perfectly with the poulet de kedjenou (slowly simmered chicken with peppers and tomatoes). The brochette de capitaine also stands out.

San Toro
The décor here is charmingly African and the specialties are quality Malian dishes (the poulet au coco is especially good), which can take a while to appear, but are always worth the wait. There's no alcohol, but there are tasty fruit juices. In the evenings from around 20:00, there's live kora music.

Le Phare Du Large
If you want to eat like a king - or maybe a president (Bongo has been a frequent client) - this restaurant is the epitome of fine dining. Though the plush boat-and-sea décor is a little much, the food is top-notch. The proprietor himself catches fish daily, often serving rare varieties.

Globus
A good watering hole as well as a restaurant, Globus has Cameroonian dishes and a few trusty standards like chicken with rice. The big draw is the location: raised above Nlongkak, it's great for watching the world go by, and catching some gorgeous sunsets.

Chez Tante Propre
Some of the more rustic places stay open as late as there are customers. Chez Tante Propre is a wildly popular hole in the wall where they turn out yogurt sandwiches and simple rice dishes.

Edvy Restaurant
For a postmuseum bite, sit at one of the trellis-covered tables in the grounds of the National Museum. The menu is a small selection of Ghanaian basics.

Mini Resto Maquis
This Cameroonian place serves the best atièke (similar to couscous) with grilled fish in town. Waiting times can be painfully long, though.

Blue Nile Bar & Restaurant
One of the best restaurants in town, with both traditional and Western-style food. The servings are voluminous, so bring an empty tum.
