Black Pepper Steakhouse Eko Pearl Tower, Eko Atlantic, Victoria Island, Lagos | Phone | Instagram | Email Black Pepper Steakhouse is the latest addition to dining at Eko Pearl Tower at Eko Atlantic in Lagos. The last time I was at Eko Atlantic which was like two years ago, I think I got lost trying to find Pearl Restaurant. I remember the food then not being so memorable but with the addition of Black Pepper Steakhouse to the building, dining is definitely better. Getting here can be a bit confusing as there is now a separate entrance to access Black Pepper […]

Moonshine Cafe (Lekki, Lagos) 7A Admiralty Road, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos | 0815 943 8309 | Instagram Moonshine Cafe is a restaurant, café, and lounge with a rustic interior located in Lekki phase 1, Lagos. The way one of the staff explained it was that downstairs is the Café and upstairs is the Restaurant and Lounge. There is also an outdoor seating area which is more of a lounge setting (could not get a picture as it was being set up for a proposal). What is meant to be the restaurant area is quite small. I remember just being on […]

343 Degrees North Restaurant (Victoria Island, Lagos) 237 Kofo Abayomi Street , Victoria Island, Lagos | 0811 386 7853 | E-Mail 343 Degrees North Restaurant & Lounge is at the location where LasGidi Restaurant (see this post) used to be LasGidi – wonder what happened to them. Running a restaurant in Nigeria is quite tough. New addition to the restaurant scene, 343 Degrees North Restaurant is an Asian Fusion restaurant with a bit of ‘naija’ according to the waiters. However, when you flip through the menu at 343 Degrees North, you hardly see that many Naija meals. Left to me, it’s […]

Woks Asian Cuisine (Victoria Island, Lagos) 17 Oju Olobun Street, Victoria Island, Lagos | 0708 007 0262 | E-Mail Woks Asian Cuisine is a restaurant by the Blowfish Group offering Asian food – Indian & Chinese. Blowfish also owns La Veranda and Izanagi. Not really sure what the proper name is. Sometimes I see Woks Asian Cuisine or Woks Asian Restaurant and on Instagram it’s Woks by the Blowfish group (I’m sure this is because there is also Woks and Koi which is a Chinese restaurant in Lekki 1) 🤷♀️ Woks Asian Cuisine opened up in the middle of the panoramic […]

7th Continent a La Carte by Mega Chicken Lateef Jakande Road | 0906 777 9460 If you were asked to name the top 10 fast-food restaurants in Lagos, Mega Chicken would be on that list. But, does this restaurant only serve the regular “after Sunday service” food or is there more to it? Mega Chicken seems to have more in store for Lagosians than an affordable plate of Jollof rice and an oversized piece of chicken. The restaurant also hosts guests to an affordable tongue soaring trip to China. Say hello to “7th Continent a La Carte”, the Chinese meal […]

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 […]

Oeuvre Bistro Ogudu Mall, Ogudu GRA, Lagos | 0818 188 7480 | E-mail Oeuvre Bistro is one of the new spots on the mainland, located in the new Ogudu mall on the 3rd floor. Oèuvre is a french word that means “work of art” and that is exactly what Oèuvre Bistro is. It is a warm space with interesting people and good food. Chef Stone of Red Dish Chronicles was the consultant for the set up of Oeuvre Bistro and set up the menu and recipe development as well as kitchen build including the provision of chefs and training. Chef […]

Despite the challenges, new restaurants in Lagos opened up. The dining scene in Lagos has been bursting with goodness these past few years and 2020, despite its many setbacks, was not left out. Before the rapid spread of the coronavirus and the subsequent lockdown that affected restaurants and dining spaces, a couple of restaurants like Turaka and Radish Lagos were opened but didn’t really have the chance to spread their wings and take off before the lockdown began in late March. 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 […]
