Just Munchies (Alagomeji, Lagos) 375, Borno Way, Alagomeji , Lagos | Phone | Instagram Just Munchies is a small food spot located in Yaba. You can walk in to order and eat or have your order delivered. I stopped by in the afternoon. They had Ofada and Spaghetti, but I thought to try their fried rice, jollof rice, turkey, and small chops because it would be good to get a good feel of what they are. I also wanted to check if the myth of “as long as they make good Jollof, they make good everything” applies. MEAL The Jollof rice […]

Iyan Aladuke (Adekunle, Lagos) 308 Murtala Muhammed Way, Yaba | Phone | Instagram Iyan Aladuke that didn’t have Iyan? Come on. You are probably asking how I got here; I was looking for somewhere affordable and cheerful on the mainland, then a friend suggested Iyan Aladake. I was excited I would get to try something different, but they had no Iyan; that’s really shocking. The space was almost desolate when I visited, but it was quite spacious. MEAL I ended up having rice and ofada sauce with ponmo, beef, and fuku. The food was really tasty, and the sauce was nice, […]

Smalliez Diner (VI, Lagos) 181b Moshood Olugbani St, Victoria Island, Lagos | Phone | Instagram I visited this new cute spot in Victoria Island called Smalliez Diner, which serves an all-day brunch and I was impressed. It is a building with three floors and a light blue-themed space with beautiful inscriptions on the wall. I think it is still in soft launch, but it is worth a visit; the blue theme reminded me of the blue box café in New York City. The space is so beautiful; I know I have said that a bit too much. The space […]

Okada by Bistros and Dives(Oniru, Lagos) Plot 10B, Water Corporation Road, Trinity Ave, Oniru, Lagos | Phone | Instagram Food is life; you know that’s the motto for FoodieinLagos. I recently ate out at Okada Cafe by Bistros and Dives at Sol by Boxmall with some foodies. It was a great experience. The ambience was pretty chilled; you would expect that as a box (container), it would be hot, but it was really cool indoors. They had tiny inscriptions on the wall and little boards that were placed on the tables. MEAL We ordered three types of puff-puff. The […]

Rapa Nui Restaurant (Oniru, Lagos) Plot 10B, Water Corporation Road, Trinity Ave, Oniru, Lagos | Phone | Instagram I visited Rapa Nui Lagos; a beachfront restaurant located at Sol Oniru at Box Beach with a couple of friends. It’s also a Polynesian restaurant – not sure we have any more of such in Lagos. The space was really beautiful; they had a rooftop and see-through windows. You can see the beach from the restaurant, which is quite picturesque. The interior was simple; white with comfy chairs and huge flower basins. MEAL For starters, we ordered Chicken Wings, it came with nutty […]

The Yardstick Lounge (Alagomeji, Lagos) 14 Herbert Macaulay Way, Sabo | Phone | Instagram I recently visited Yardstick at Alagomeji; the lounge is just above the sweet sensation fast food restaurant. To access the lounge, you need to go through the restaurant. The interior was quite nice, there were different seating options available, and I noticed a couple of people working there, so this might be a good work spot. MEAL They had two menu options available; one for the lounge and one for the restaurant downstairs. I already tried the restaurant downstairs, so I ordered from the yardstick lounge menu. […]

Beezus Kitchen (Ikoyi, Lagos) 5, Lugard Avenue, Ikoyi| Phone | Instagram Beezus Kitchen occasionally hosts Korean Barbeque night in one of the beautiful gardens in Ikoyi. They serve the best-marinated meat, great cocktails and mocktails, and some banchan. I attended the Korean barbeque night that happened on New year’s eve. I had done Korean BBQ at Hua Han and vlogged about it here, so it had been a while. Experiencing it at NYE with friends was fun. First, we got welcome notes from the chef; I liked that. MEAL Korean BBQ, or gogi-gui (고기구이), is the method of grilling marinated meat at the […]

Bamboo Restaurant (Alagomeji, Yaba) 301 Herbert Macaulay Way, Yaba | Phone | Instagram I visited Bamboo restaurant in Yaba last year, so I thought to clear my draft and tell you how it went. I went for lunch; the ambience wasn’t great, and the space was dusty. Most of the things on the menu weren’t available. MEAL I wanted to go all out, but most things on the menu weren’t available. I ended up ordering the yam and peppered chicken; it was nice. I wanted a cocktail, but the guy who does it wasn’t available, so I settled for […]

Choice Luxe Bistro (Ikeja, Lagos) 30A Felicia Koleoso Str Off Agbaoku Street| Phone | Instagram Choice Luxe Bistro is a small bistro inside Choice Luxe Hotel in Ikeja. The restaurant space is small but beautiful. The chairs are bright, but the restaurant doesn’t have enough natural light. If you need to take pictures, you might need to step out to the poolside. There is a sitting arrangement by the poolside and a minibar; in case you need to enjoy a new view while sipping wine. MEAL I ordered their burger, which came with fries and ketchup. The burger looked good, […]
