Once traditional breakfast time rolls over, we officially refer to the meal before lunch as brunch (breakfast + lunch = brunch) and in a city where there are countless serving restaurants, the options are equally endless when it comes down to that ideal spot for getting brunch.

Interestingly, the majority of these restaurants are located in or around residential communities where luxury houses in Ghana are rented out, making it very convenient for individuals who reside in or near such areas to easily stroll over for coffee, pancakes etc.

One’s location is never a problem as these restaurants have takeaway and delivery options just in case you or your clique want to brunch indoors at home.

It is unclear exactly when brunch became a thing but it’s become popularly accepted that few things beat a good brunch, and we love it.

If you are in Accra and in the mood for some good brunch, here are a few faithful spots we know and recommend.

CAFE ACCRA 

Cheer to the weekend at this spot located at East Legon with spectacular meals proving that however you are having brunch: alone, with friends or with family, it should scream royalty!

First and foremost, walking into Cafe Accra feels like a day in mama’s kitchen with an aroma to whet your appetite! The warm attitude of the staff is very welcoming. The unique names on the menu simply make Cafe Accra a must-visit place to have brunch. Some menu items include: brunchin’, sand it up, sparkle, high five and, the never disappointing, rise and shine taste good! If you are vegan, not to worry, there is something for you at Cafe Accra. For example, the English breakfast which includes beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado and fresh juice. 

BREAKFAST 2 BREAKFAST (B2B)

Before we dive into B2B, when you get there, ask for the grilled chicken to be extra spicy if you decide to have some chicken for brunch. You can thank me later!

B2B is a fantastic restaurant with its pricing complementing what they serve. Located on the famous Oxford street in Osu with countless furnished houses for rent, the 24/7 around the clock restaurant is a great location to brunch and an ideal restaurant for the lot. The location makes it a great place to have business meetings as well over their delicious spicy chicken wings and french fries.
