Ci Gusta

My Italian is for all intents and purposes non-existent (background aside) but Ci gusta bene means it tasted good…and boy, did it taste good! Everyone welcome the latest entrant to the list of guilty dairy pleasure providers in the city. Signor Arlecchino better watch out. International franchises seem to gradually making headway into the Ghanaian dining market what with KFC and now this gem of a temptation. The ci gusta brand ranges from savoury to sweet and even includes well know Italian favourites like pizza, but the quasi secret branch in question is located on the first floor of Koala and serves mostly the sweet variety.

Chix n Ribs- American eatery

Conveniently located off Oxford Street, opposite Couture, underneath Exotic trends and down the road from Arllechinos, Chix n Ribs with its provocative name, is surprisingly laid back.  It comprises a very minimalist front desk cum order table cum work table that allows you to peer into the kitchen. The rest of the space is occupied by a bench and a few high chairs that allow you to munch off a narrow table that skirts along one wall, so technically, you can eat in at CnR, but it’s distinctly a take-out joint.
