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 […]

Hard Rock Lagos Hard Rock Café Lagos 3 & 4, Water Corporation Drive, Victoria Island 0908 198 8888 Hard Rock Café Lagos has a new limited menu which they have called ‘Infused with Love – the Encore’ Its funny that I have been to Hard Rock alot of times and somehow the reviews did not go up out of sheer laziness and the last post we had on Hard Rock Cafe Lagos was in 2016 – ah a lot of changes and things have happened. However, you would see more of our Hard Rock Lagos posts on our Instagram […]

Hey guys, quick news about Atmosphere Lekki which we thought to share. Not yet sure what to call this but maybe sharing any interesting news in the food scene from time to time. ATMOSPHERE LEKKI – NEW HEAD CHEF IN TOWN Sometime last week Imoteda announced subtly on Twitter and then later on Instagram that she now had a new gig at Atmosphere Rooftop Lekki as their new Head Chef. Updated profile and all – Nice! This is good news because Foodie in Lagos (we) were there sometime in June and it was a mess – read the review […]

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 […]

Indomie Cafe Lagos Circle Mall, Jakande While going about my business and errands today, I was looking for somewhere that was quiet and decent enough to have a quick meeting and then I saw ‘Indomie Cafe’. I had been at some presentation that disclosed this was in effect but had never actually seen one and thought it was just a concept. Thanks to curiosity, I went in and was quite pleased. Since Malaysia can have its own Indomie Branded Indomie Cafe IndoBowl serving all sorts of crazy Indomie combinations, I guess we also can have our own Indomie Cafe […]

Larusha’s Treats Abuja Larusha’s Treats The Capital Hub 272 Gwarimpa Expressway, Mabushi, Abuja 0807 228 9269, 0811 425 6930 When I first saw Larusha’s Treats on Instagram, I was blown away by their freak shakes, so I told myself that I have to go there soon. So what are freak shakes you may ask? They are high-calorie mega milkshakes; mega because the milkshakes come in large jugs, and are usually topped with chocolate, donuts, or cake slices. In the case of Larusha’s Treats, the freak shake I had was topped with a huge donut, whipped cream, and strawberry […]

Michelle’s Cafe Victoria Island Lagos Michelle’s Café Fourteen36 Mall, 1436 Sanusi Fafunwa Street, Victoria Island, Lagos 0818 816 7366, 0905 450 4042 I had always wanted to try out Michelle’s Café but due to my routine and commute at the time, it was never really possible until now. A colleague of mine would always come to work with some sandwiches and it was always smelling so good. So simple request, I asked her to get me one whenever she went there again and voila! I was in luck and brought me a sandwich from Michelle’s Café which is located […]

Atmosphere Rooftop Lekki Atmosphere Rooftop Lekki Lennox Mall Rooftop, Admiralty Way, Lekki 1 0901 270 5495, 0818 713 2621 Atmosphere Rooftop is the latest addition to rooftop spots in Lekki, Lagos. Atmosphere Rooftop is located in Lennox Mall in Lekki Phase 1. I mean the name is so obvious with the inclusion of ‘Rooftop’ perhaps for folks to easily recognise it’s an actual Rooftop. It appears the restaurant scene in Lagos is not here for jokes and triple efforts are being put into aesthetics and all the kind of details that would make it an ‘Instagrammable’ location […]

Restaurant Hopping Lagos This post is long overdue. Us at Foodie in Lagos and Ministry of Enjoyment got together to put together a series of Restaurant Hopping Experiences in the city of Lagos. We kicked this off and visited Lulu Bowls, Las Gidi Restaurant & Marcelino’s Pastry What exactly is a Restaurant Hop? This just means to hop from one Restaurant to another and sharing but ours was also focused on getting to build a community of foodies and enjoying each others company while doing what we do best – Eating. It was an intimate and exciting gathering especially with […]

Hey! We are six (6) years old today (wow) – Sometimes I am still in awe because I am not sure how we are still here. This year I am trying to be more intentional and vocal and communicate more with my audience as I realise I don’t do this so often (forgive me). At this point, I feel like it is time to open up more and share how Foodie in Lagos got started and pretty much share the journey as concise as possible. I initially was going to vlog about this but I did not prepare well so […]

Kewa’s Kitchen Kewa’s Kitchen Delivery only 0809 802 4889 First Work Lunch feature for the year because I have been trying to save money (lol). Remember that the “Work Lunch” category are mainly meals ordered in to eat at work and are mainly Food vendors who don’t have physical locations to eat-in. A few places have transitioned and grown to have physical locations but the focus in mainly online/delivery only hence Work Lunch Work Lunch feature today is from Kewa’s Kitchen. Found the Kewa’s Kitchen page on Instagram and thought to try them as I’d been following the page […]
