Had a small, intimate dinner for three to send off a close friend to school abroad and I'm glad I chose this space because he absolutely loved it--we all did! First of all, ignore it's unassuming exterior because everything that matters is inside. The interior decor itself is very minimalist and yet screams class, but the real winner is the service and the food! All the staff were soo attentive and would swoop by ever so often without being intrusive to see if we needed anything. We arrived before just 5pm on a Tuesday and there weren't many diners there but the empty chairs became fewer and fewer as the clock ticked. We were very hungry so we ordered starters and drinks almost as soon as we were seated and we were served so fast, we almost couldn't believe it. The Fried Calamari was so good but those Shrimp Skewers were literally everything!! They tasted so good.. so, so good! For drinks, we got a Summer Breeze, Mojito and Virgin Fruit which were also great! Later, our entrees were the Rosemary Chicken and Grilled Prawns with a side of extremely creamy Mashed Potatoes. We skipped dessert because we quite simply were stuffed. If you don't get anything at all from our choices, please get the Shrimp Skewers if you like seafood.. they'll melt in your mouth and have you smiling nonstop!! We'll definitely be going back in the very near future. This could easily be that reliable go-to restaurant to get a delicious meat over nice conversation in a beautiful space while feeling spoilt and taken care of. I hope they never lower the bar on their level of service because we were impressed!!

I personally think they still have the best salads in Ghana and their flatbread is certainly in a league of its own. Had I not abused the lobster and salmon pasta, I would have certainly done either of those too. I Highly recommend them. Bistro 22 has a warm and cozy ambiance yet the lighting and hard wooden furniture give it an easy relaxed sleeve-rolled-up, hair-let-down appeal. It's the perfect spot for a first date when you're trying to impress but not too much. They've done so well in maintaining the standard over all the years. The place is always spick and span. The staff are always alert and quick to clean up after you. And they were already practicing social distancing before it was a thing. The seats have always been well spaced out. I stopped short of giving them a 5 star because their staff need a little more training. They are clueless about the stuff on the menu and would seek answers from the chef or mixologist first each time questions were asked concerning the food or drinks. If food tasting was a part of the training of new waiters everywhere, customers could easily be encouraged to try more things and the business would certainly make more money. A win for everyone!

Lemon Gamberi was lemony. The shrimp was cooked. I'm happy because shrimp overcooks quickly. The coconut rice did not taste authentic, but it was very much on my lane and pleasing to my Ghanaian palate. The salmon pasta was a delight, as always. It was too creamy. The beef stroganoff was also beefy. It tasted like tomato paste. I didn't like that it reminded me of funeral tomato stew. The seafood pasta was also too creamy for me. I like cream as much as the next guy. The tomato flavor was just as strong, like the stroganoff. Heads up: The "spice"-pepper level of all their food is low. The portions were slightly more than Accra portions. I felt strange that the food that came in "pans" and decorative trays, did not come with an extra plate by default. I also felt strange that the waiter cleared my plates without a tray. He held 3 plates in his hands. The tables are big, so the food looks even smaller and appears scanty. Attached photo: Lemon Gamberi with an iPhone 12 for scale. Bistro 22 is a great place to get food in Accra, in comparison to Accra "restaurants".

By far my favourite restaurant in Ghana. Everything was top quality, from the service, the food, the cocktails and the atmosphere. Honestly, could not recommend this place more! My husband and I shared the calamari for starter which was delicious and a perfect sharing size, for mains I went for the sticky pineapple chicken and rice and my husband had the chicken satay. Every compo ant was cooked to perfection. While my husband enjoyed 2 exquisite mojitos I had an equally perfect elderflower spritz and a gin basil smash. You can tell the cocktails we're made by someone who really cares. Possibly the best cocktails I've had in my life and I have enjoyed many cocktails in my life. If I could give more than 5/5 I would!

Dined with friends and we had such an intimate time together. The setting was perfect. The food was delicious. We all made fantastic choices. The waiters were available to serve and service was prompt. Only issue was that the staff had their masks on but had dropped below the nose. That defeats the purpose of the mask! There was sanitizer available for customers use and we were given wipes on request. Covid Protocols were generally observed. I would go there again soon definitely. Update I visited again and this time the covid protocols had been taken up a notch. That impressed me. I sat outside and an insect repellent was made available. Was overall a pleasant evening.

We visited this place and our disappointment was high. Had non-alcoholic cocktails: mango bloom and fruit mix cocktails. The mango bloom tasted better. I must say that was the only nice thing I had that I finished. The food was the least. Had beef stroganoff with steak rice and potato sticks, and smoked salmon with creamy pasta. My honest review: they’re the worst foods we have ever had in any restaurant. Didn’t enjoy them at all. Their food is so expensive for so little and the taste is nothing to write home about. After our experience we got home with bad tummy upset. I’d not recommend them to anyone. I was so disappointed.
