Eureka beach club is one of the eating places in front of Labadi beach. The food is good and the beer is cold. You will be stopped by the staff and asked to sit down. It's a competition for the restaurant to get hold of the customers.

Favorite Dish: The food in Accra region: Kenkey (from corn) with Stew, Kenkey with hot paper, kenkey with Soup. But the oreginal is Kenkey with hot paper and fried fish.
In some region and town Kenkey is Taboo on a particular day like Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The food in Kumasi: The typical food there is Fufu with hot light paper soup, Fufu with groundnut soup, Fufu with Palmnut oil soup and with some bush meet. The Akan man can not do a good meal without Fufu. As for Kumasi there have no Taboo for a particular food day.

The food in the Volta region: Banku is the typical food for this region. Also with Okro Soup, hot paper, groundnut soup, light hot paper soup with dried fish. The people of this region will not get a good meal without Fufu.
Towozafi is also the typical food for the Northern part of Ghana. They can not wait for day break or day end for this meal. This meal is so good because it's goes with raw leaves and vegetables as well and some meat and fish.

Next Door Beach Resort has a large outdoor restaurant with a stage/dance floor. It's a popular and lively entertainment spot with live band every Friday, or for weddings, parties and other special occasions.

I am sorry to say I was fooled by the waiter one day I ate breakfast. He had worked here so many years, but was nevertheless tempted to take a higher price and not give me back the exchange. I guess he though I was a walk-in customer, an Obruni who didn't care. The breakfast was twice the price.

Favorite Dish: They serve Ghanaian dishes like Fufu, Jollof or Banku with Goat, Chicken, Beef, Fish, Snails or Bushmeat. Others dishes include Red Red, Okra Stew, Tilapia, etc.
The Continental dishes include Seafood (Fish, Octopus, Lobster), Chicken, Beef, Salad, Rice, Chips, Pasta, Pizza, Khebab, etc.

The bar is stocked with a wide range of spirits, local and imported beers, cocktails, wines, fruit juices and soft drinks.

The outside of the restaurant doesn't give you the impression of anything special but the inside is the exact opposite. It has lots of cultural paintings and posters.
The restaurant celebrates many Ethiopian festivals such as Meskal and Enkutatesh which bring in many Ethiopian and foreign people. Not many Ghanaians themselves go to the restaurant which I found strange.
I myself order 'doro wot and tibs with injera' or 'kitfo' when I go there. The food comes about twenty mintutes after I order.I always find myself thinking why Ethiopian food wasn't more famous: it was absolutely delicious. I washed it all down with a bottle of Guinness.
The restaurant also sells Ethiopian clothes and Ethiopian coffee (of which I had some, it was very strong).
on a scale of 1-10 i would rate the restaurant 8 because even though of its excellent décor and food I think it could be even better. But anyway I would recommend this restaurant for anyone in Ghana.

Favorite Dish: It is an excellent dish called doro wot. A chicken stew served on a spongy pancake like bread called injera. It also has boiled egg and a piece of chicken inm it . You tear some of the injera and you dip it in the stew and eat it. It is an experience to remember.

While a bit over priced this place is popular with the local expat population and the middle class locals. A/C works and plenty of TVs on the wall to watch your favorite match.

Favorite Dish: Not that expensive but not that cheap compared to other places. They have a little bit over everything including beer. Service here is a bit faster than most places in the city. If you are trying to get your CI visa then swing by here if you need to cool off.

Restaurant is upstairs. Service is typical local slow but friendly. Had brekfast here and dinner one night. Tried ground nut soup here which both Kim and I liked (or was it the 5 beers that made it taste so good?) There was never more than a couple of people when we were here.

Favorite Dish: There was an American in here having breakfast and meeting with some local attys prior to a court appearance or other legal issue and had to ask the staff to turn down the stereo that was blasting at 10 in the morning so he could talk shop.
Had the chicken and jollof of rice which filled me up for dinner.

get your taxi to bring you to ODO RICE in ASYLUM DOWN
and tell them to wait while you get your food...(should take 5 minutes...)
then get back in your cab and go home and eat..

Favorite Dish: JOLLOF and chicken and plantaines...yummmmmmmmm

The menu has a vast selection of Chinese, International and Ghanaian dishes, but every time we ate there, at least one of the dishes were unavailable. The food itself was very good indeed, but often arrived ten minutes or more apart. Once, David had finished his and was half way through his dessert before my main course arrived. The service was not only slow, but also rather surly at times.

There was a buffet most evening, but as neither of us either very keen on buffets, nor big eaters, we decided to order a la carte.

Favorite Dish: Picture one shows red red chicken which is a sauce of black eye peas with gari (course cassava flour) and chicken, served with plantain fried in red palm oil. It was very, very tasty (there was also additional chilli served in a small dish separately), albeit a little greasy.

Picture two shows fried tilapia with banku – a ‘dumpling’ which is a sour, fermented corn mash which is wrapped in plantain leaves and boiled. It is to be eaten with your hands (right hand only). It was served with an extremely spicy salsa-like fresh sauce.

Picture three shows a very spicy pepper soup with goat meat. Although very tasty, I found it hard to separate the goat meat from the bones. I tried with the spoon, a knife and fork, my hands and my teeth, but only managed to free a little.

Picture four shows kelewele, a side dish of spicy fried plantain. Very nice.
