The Shed Restaurant (Lekki, Lagos) 1 Wole Olateju Cres, off Admiralty Way, | Phone | Instagram The Shed is a gorgeous restaurant located in Lekki. The space has lighting that seems Moroccan and an ambiance that looks like a combination of all sorts of trial and error; it could pass as a mix of industrialist design and other things I can’t place. Reservations are required to dine in, but they wouldn’t turn back walk-in customers as long as they have an available table. The restaurant was empty when I and my friends visited.
