Zubaida Zubzz is your one-stop guide to all things culinary in Accra. She knows which restaurant’s kitchen is hot and which ones aren’t so all that.
If you’re looking for an authentic food guide who knows which wines go with venison then you may look no farther. Her Instagram page is a showcase of Ghana’s finest eateries and she’s no where close to pausing on her journey to explore Ghana’s food art.
Today, however, Zubzz is not giving us free insights into which menus are affordable for middle-class earners or which upscale restaurant serves premium chow. Today, she’s giving us her personal take on which restaurant concepts Accra, our beloved capital, needs.
Here is Zubzz’s 9 restaurant concepts that Accra absolutely needs.
1. A Deluxe-portion food restaurant.
If you’re thinking of opening a new restaurant in Ghana anytime soon, these are a few concepts we (or maybe I) would love to have in Accra.
1. A restaurant that sells only large food. Super size everything. pic.twitter.com/ykES8CnKfe

All our four stomachs are ready.
2. A traditional Japanese restaurant.
2. A traditional Japanese restaurant where you sit on the floor.

Imagine saying ‘arigato’ as your waiter brings you your tuozafi. Services may include client-hoisters. For our senior citizens.
3. An all-you-can-eat wing buffet restaurant.
3. All You Can Eat Wing buffet restaurant.
Sides and drinks come at an extra cost.

Fly me away to a place where wings are free.
4. A gold food restaurant
4. A “boujie” restaurant that serves only gold food (Gold sheets aren’t as expensive as you’d think).
Everything Gold, but not the entire interior, that would legit be garish. pic.twitter.com/jay8pU1U7z

Gold is the standard.
5. A dome-shaped restaurant.
5. Dining domes.
A dome costs around $500-$1500 so this is super expensive but still, it’s a neat idea. And with the way Ghana is set up, there are people who can afford to set it up. pic.twitter.com/77WIR5XrfN

6. A 2D restaurant
6. A 2D cafe.
Went to one in Dubai and I loved it. Super creative. pic.twitter.com/ZOJZSM6A8C

We feel someone will write “I waz here some” before their meal even gets wheeled in.
7. An all-black restaurant
7. All Black Restaurant.
Food, interior, exterior, everything black. pic.twitter.com/VdXKOATBBh

This seems like a terrific idea. Beyonce said it after, “Black is king after all”.
8. A Pool/Restaurant Bar
8. Pool Restaurant/Bar
There was a hotel in Tema that had this but they’ve been closed for “renovations” for a while. pic.twitter.com/kJBXEM2Vba

Imagine the vibe. Sip on your daquri while bobbing in the water. Now if that isnt experiential then we do not know what else your tastebuds needs.
9. A naked restaurant.
9. I don’t know how well this would work here, with Ghanaians being conservative and all but naked restaurants are such an interesting concept.
Is anyone brave enough to open one here? pic.twitter.com/cpWNhx2Mh4

I’m sorry but this is it not happening. Not in Opanyin Kwame Nkrumah’ beloved Ghana.
