The state of lunch in Labone
Labone sits just between Osu and Cantonments, and it has become a favourite base for creative agencies, consultancies, NGOs and small firms. Many work out of converted homes on quiet, tree-lined streets, close enough to the city's busiest districts without being caught in the middle of them.
That quiet is part of the appeal, until lunchtime. Labone's food options lean towards boutique cafés, lovely for a coffee meeting but costly as an everyday lunch for a team. The busier, cheaper spots are in Osu, a short drive that quickly becomes a long one at midday. And with offices tucked away on residential streets, delivery riders often struggle to find the right gate. So small teams in Labone tend to splinter at lunch, with everyone sorting themselves out in their own way, at their own time.
