Rhodes BBQ Smokehouse 29, Oyeleke Street, Oregun, Ikeja ⎥ 0818 900 5522 We visited yet another mainland restaurant for a review, this time in Ikeja. Rhodes BBQ Smokehouse is a fast-casual spot that sells American style barbecue ribs. It’s easy to find, but can easily be missed. Rhodes BBQ Smokehouse is very conscious safety-wise when it comes to COVID-19. There was a security guard at the entrance checking temperatures and making sure that everyone who goes in is wearing a mask, washes their hands and uses a sanitiser. I particularly liked that. I wouldn’t say that there’s […]

After the lockdown was lifted, new restaurants had the opportunity to re-launch and were open for dine-in at a […]

Cafe De Flore Ikoyi Lagos 12 Glover Road, Ikoyi Lagos | Email Cafe De Flore Ikoyi NG is located on Glover road in Ikoyi, Lagos, and very much inspired by Café De Flore in Paris and Paris in general. This is in their Instagram bio in case you were wondering and a simple google search would bring out the Paris inspiration for this new cute (very cute) café in the heart of Ikoyi. They also had a nice selection of tea and would be ideal for afternoon tea or breakfast and most definitely brunch in Lagos. It gave me Tiffany […]
