The View Bar & Grill

The View Bar & Grill is almost reason alone to go to Kumasi, with an inspired Anglo-French menu. Mains are delectable. How about crispy pork belly, bubble & squeak croquettes, braised cabbage and bacon with spiced apple? Or slow-cooked guinea fowl leg, roasted breast, butternut mash, redcurrant and rosemary? There’s also a variety of steaks, all served alongside sides such as triple-cooked chips and French beans with chilli and garlic. It’s a modern menu that wouldn’t seem out of place in an upmarket London gastropub. In the lounge you’ll find small bites including dry-fried pork spare ribs, chilli, garlic and ginger and risotto croquettes and homemade relish. Cocktails are excellent. The wine list has a good variety, with some great French whites in particular. The space is brilliantly designed too – think Eames Eiffel Base Shell Chairs and dark hardwood floors. And yes, there’s a leafy view. There’s a vibrant roster of DJs, parties and the like – all to enjoy on a rooftop terrace
