Polo Club Restaurant

Set in one of the most prestigious spots in the city, overlooking the Polo Club’s playing field, Accra Polo Club, formerly home to Il Cavaliere Pazzo, rises to its setting. The menu is a mix of superb, properly-cooked Italian dishes (risottos, gnocchi and ravioli) and, er, sushi. Not natural bedfellows in one place, but the sushi is excellent here. Highlights on the menu include the lobster linguini and the calamari. It should also be said that the chocolate fondant is sublime. Beef too plays a significant part in the kitchen. Our beef tagliata was perfectly cooked, pink in the middle and with a tangy sauce. But whatever you decide for a main, don't miss the sushi. The 'aloha maki' for example, with tuna, salmon, avocado and shrimp was perfectly balanced. It’s an impressive building too, making efficient use of wood both on the interior and exterior.
