Japanese Cuisine in Lagos, Japanese Food in Lagos It’s true that there’s rice at home but sometimes you just want to try something new. For us, today, it’s Japanese food. Japanese food mostly consists of rice, seafood and broths, but is anything but mainstream. I mean, this culture gave us Sushi, which is one of the most popular dishes in the world. Thankfully, you don’t have to travel to Japan or Asia to enjoy Japanese cuisine as we have some restaurants right here in Lagos. So if you’re a fan of Sushi or want to try it for the first […]

Craft Gourmet by Lou Baker Mega Plaza, Idowu Martins Street, Victoria Island, Lagos | 0703 265 2069 A week ago today, restaurants in Lagos were open for dine-in as long as a few conditions were met. The conditions were that the restaurants were only allowed 50% capacity and an inspection from the Lagos State Safety Commission (“LSSC”) to get certification that they could open once again. We went into details on the modalities of restaurants opening here. To get you news from the front lines, we (a friend and I) risked life and limb, to have lunch at Craft Gourmet. […]

It’s no news that restaurants and bars in Lagos, and in fact all over the world have been closed for months due to the coronavirus that swept through the world. In March, restaurants were allowed to open again- but only for takeout orders as social distancing was and is still imperative in preventing the spread of the virus. Earlier in the month, however, the Lagos State Government announced that restaurants will be allowed to fully open once again, on the condition that they undergo a thorough inspection and adhere to the strict guidelines of the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC).

Ocean Basket Ikeja 58C Isaac John Street, Ikeja, GRA 0809 182 6777 As someone who is drawn to the sea and everything about it, Ocean Basket has always been one of my favourite restaurants. Ocean Basket, as the name implies, deals specifically with seafood, which again, is one of my favourites. Due to the pandemic and mandatory lockdown of all public spaces, including restaurants, I’ve been unable to go out to restaurants to enjoy the ambience. Now, that we are allowed out under the condition of wearing masks, I decided to visit Ocean Basket. The Ocean Basket branch located […]

Casa Mexicana Abuja Ceddi Plaza, Tafawa Balewa Way, Central Business District, Abuja 0817 633 3222, 0817 6333 111 As soon as I entered Casa Mexicana, I thought I had entered a quaint city in Mexico. From the Mexican music, to the sombreros (wide-brimmed hats from Mexico), and the colorful décor and ambiance, it was definitely a meal to remember. Chukwuma and I deliberated for about two days before deciding to visit Casa Mexicana, and we were not disappointed. First world problems – deciding what restaurant to go to. 😆 (Ed note: Casa Mexicana is a Tex-Mex restaurant in Abuja – […]

Korean BBQ Lagos at Hua Han Hua Han Garden 45c Sobo Arobiodu Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos. 0909 867 7777, 0705 100 8888 So we started doing some mini food themed events recently and while venue scouting for one of such events, I and some friends checked HUA Han out. HUA Han is an authentic Korean Restaurant in Lagos and there was no way we were leaving without trying out the Korean BBQ. Korean BBQ is essentially grilling your food yourself using in-built gills in the dining table itself. I am not sure there are any other authentic […]

Flowershop Cafe 274 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos 0906 666 6665 Flowershop Cafe opened in Lagos sometime in August because I remember going on holiday for two weeks and getting back seeing that it was open as the location is a daily route. It definitely looks like it is the latest and buzzing spots for good Breakfast and Brunch in Lagos. The space at Flowershop café is so beautiful that for a second I did not think I was in Lagos. Naturally lit, smells divine with fragrance from flowers at the flower shop in a small section […]

Black Olive Black Olive Lagos 63 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos 0818 000 0734 Black Olive opened newly in Ikoyi in December 2018 I think and we went here in January but life happens and this post is rather late. For the sake of full disclosure, things may have changed. Anyways, this is our own review of Black Olive Restaurant. Black Olive occupies a rather obvious space on Awolowo Road Ikoyi so it’s quite a visible structure. There are seating spaces upstairs and downstairs and I went in on a busy weekday afternoon and upstairs was free to grab a […]
