I did see the NY Times article on street food in Ghana and will post a report upon our return. Sat Mar 25 19:16:20 -0800 2006 0 G-Mo 1 1412353 Best place in Accra in reputed to be Monsoon in the Osu Food Court. Best Chinese is at the Shangra La hotel near the Airport. Only decent Lebanese is called Foods Land in Osu. There is a decent Korean in Osu also. FWIW, I find Monsoon a little bland, but it has decent bar. Some passable continental places like the Magellan across from the US Embassy on Ring Road and Le Tandem in Labone/Cantonments. I know Jean who runs the Magellan. He's a nice guy and has one of the better places in town for fish and shrimp. The Ethiopian Restaurant, Lalibella, is also very good and one of the best value/quality ratios in town. I prefer the local food out here though, as the other stuff doesn't compare to what you'd find in Europe, the States or even Dakar or Nairobi. Too many decent local places to list . Go down to Makola market and check it out. In Kumasi, there is a decent B&B run by a Canadian who does decent chop and makes his own sausage. There are also a few Chinese places that are said to be good.

I'd have the Tilapia at Blue Gate in Osu, but be careful of the small bones. For Indian I'd go to Haveli. Go to Dynasty for Chinese Ghana style. The fried chicken at Papeye is fine, and Frankies is fun b/c it's American food cooked in Ghana by Lebanese. As for the recs above, I've been away from Ghana too long to comment. When I was there, there was no Asian food in Osu food court, and Lalibella wasn't around either. As for local food, I suggest trying it not in Makola but instead at Country Kitchen or at somewhere more upscale than Makola.

Frankie's is only for homesick Americans, not chowhounds. the quality of the 'American' food is poor, and prices are high.
