Inspired by flavour driven by excellence
Our history & goals
Basil opened on Oxford Street in 2014 with eleven covers and one charcoal grill. We cook West African food with a French hand and a Ghanaian larder: fish landed at Tema that morning, rice from the Volta, peppers out of Makola.
The goal has not moved since: cook it properly, price it honestly, and make the room somewhere people want to sit for three hours.

Discover the art of taste
We came for a birthday and stayed until they turned the lights up. The grilled tilapia is the best I have eaten in Accra, and I have eaten a lot of it.

Booked the long table for nine at two days' notice and they made it work. Everything came out together and hot, which sounds small until you have eaten anywhere else.

Secure your table for a memorable meal
Two sittings a night, Tuesday to Sunday. Tables of eight and over are best booked a week ahead — we hold the long table by the window for them.
