Do we really need herbs? If you are a true Lagosian like myself, you must have had thoughts on whether or not herbs are as crucial as our ancestors say they are. Not to worry; you will get an answer to that by the end of this post. Wikipedia defines Herbs as a widely distributed and widespread group of plants, excluding vegetables and other plants consumed for macronutrients, with savory or aromatic properties used for flavoring and garnishing food, medicinal purposes, or fragrances – the definition couldn’t be better. Herbs can be used for culinary purposes, aromatic, medicinal, and spiritual. […]

Deo Gracias Bazaar (Adekunle, Lagos) 44 Glover St, Adekunle | Phone | Instagram In the bid to find new spots for Lagos Mainlanders, I came across Deo Gracias Bazaar. To be honest, I didn’t quite understand the name and thought maybe it was one of those spots where you visit, and your life would never remain the same. I was pretty excited about visiting, I even went with some friends. Now that I think about it, I should have just stayed in my house and ordered small chops from some other places because everything about De Gracias Bazaar was horrible. One of […]

The Nest Lounge (Alagomeji, Lagos) 1A Hughes Ave, Yaba | Phone | Instagram I have been stalling on my visit to The Nest Lounge, Alagomeji, but I finally made out time, and I have no regrets.

So, I had just finished working out and saw the spot and decided to try it. I mean, Fruits and Veggies sounds like the perfect thing to have after a workout, and was it worth it? Yes.

D’Mighty Coffee & Tea (Lekki, Lagos) 1 Chief Collins Uchidiuno St, Lekki Phase 1 | Phone | Instagram I found and visited a new restaurant in Lekki- D’Mighty Coffee and Tea restaurant. It was a cute space but uncoordinated. I think they are in their teething phase as a restaurant. Their menu had no details of the flavors of the drinks or milkshakes, and someone I suspected to be the owner kept suggesting that I try the ice cream; maybe that’s what they do best. MEAL I ordered Chinese Noodles with a milkshake. I wasn’t sure what the milkshake flavor […]

Gidi Burger (Surulere, Lagos) 11 Chief Onitana St, Surulere| Phone | Instagram Gidi Burger is a spot in Surulere that I have always wanted to try. I have had it on my list for a while now, but I finally decided to break the ” don’t visit bond” First, I enjoyed the playlist they had playing in the background, which added to the overall ambiance. But there was no light, and they had a problem with the light plug, but the staff attended to it and fixed it. MEAL I ordered the crispy chicken burger, and it was pretty good. […]
