Pondicheri Restaurant (Ilupeju) 2, Folayemi Street, Ilupeju | 09068008000 | Instagram Remember our restaurant jaunt of ₦20,000 budget for two experiment? Well, this is the mainland edition, at Pondicheri Restaurant. I spent a little extra because I wanted some ice cream. You can’t blame me for that; It’s ice cream! 😁 In case you missed it, read the island edition here. Have you ever visited a restaurant and from the entrance you’re like “Nah, I want to go somewhere else“? That’s how I felt when I got to Pondicheri Restaurant. I arrived a few minutes after their 11:00 am opening […]

The Corniche Bistro (Lekki Phase 1) 2, Olaitan Sebanjo Street, Lekki | 09034700000 | Instagram What if I told you it’s possible to dine in Lagos with a ₦20,000 budget for two? Yes, you read that right! We decided to prove it by example and visited two restaurants – one on the island and one on the mainland. We visited The Corniche Bistro within The Corniche Hotel at Lekki Phase 1. Google Maps was accurate with the direction, but there’s no sign outside the hotel, so I almost missed it. I had to inquire from the security guard, who then […]

Rye Restaurant (Victoria Island) Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island |+234014482777| Instagram The Foodie In Lagos team decided to head out for some good food and vibes after a whole year of creating mouthwatering content for you all. We love it though, so no complaints. Rye Restaurant is located on Kofo Abayomi Street in Victoria Island, inside Nordic Hotel Lagos. It’s basically an “if you know, you know” spot. There’s no sign outside the space of the hotel, so it’s easy to miss. K missed it because she wasn’t sure if that was the hotel and had to ask a security […]

HSE Gourmet (Lekki 1, Lagos) 25 Babatope Bejide Cres, Lekki Phase 1 ⎮0810 745 3157 ⎮Instagram HSE Gourmet recently reopened its doors after its renovations and wow, it’s so well done and so beautiful! I’ve loved HSE for a long time and since we posted this on the blog. I have also been there quite a number of times but had no energy to write a post. Therefore, this update is long overdue. What I had: Mixed Berry Fruit Iced Tea: ₦2,700 Seabass which cost ₦14,000; Wild Mushrooms & Truffle Pasta for ₦9,000. Drink: Mixed Berry Fruit Iced Tea. The heat […]

Ox Restaurant And Bar (Victoria Island, Lagos) 31 Kofo Abayomi Street | 09044444454 | Instagram Ox is a restaurant and bar located in Victoria Island. The décor is pretty, kind of Nordic. They have both outdoor and indoor spaces which makes sense since it’s a lounge. When you walk, in, there’s a lobby with murals, a hallway that leads to the outdoor space, and the door to the indoor space is on the right. There are beautiful murals on the wall, however, the decor seems mismatched, they couldn’t seem to be able to decide between Nordic or Pan-African. I really liked […]

Medusa Lounge (Lekki, Lagos) 3 Ogbunike Street, Off Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1 | 0818 777 7761 | Instagram Medusa is a lounge with a restaurant as an add-on. It is not hard to find, especially if you use your map; it will take you directly to the building. It’s located in a residential area, which is a good thing in my opinion because dining in a noisy environment can be unpleasant. I arrived not long after they opened up on Saturday, which was deliberate because I wanted to take some great pictures and dine in silence. The security guard was […]

...ate slowly just so that the food would not finish on time and so that my tummy perfectly understood the goodness it was experiencing at that moment.

I had watched this building spring up in the heart of VI and waited patiently for it to begin operations. Before eventually trying this place out, I had heard varying opinions about this place around how expensive it was and all that. This cannot be that bad I thought till I visited and realized that you know what, all that glitters is indeed not gold. This was the case of Maison Fahrenheit (“MF”). Externally, the structure is beautiful and internally from the reception lovely paintings hanging on the walls and lovely lighting making me fall in love. MF is a […]

Hello! How was your Valentine’s day/weekend? Lots of food or dry and boring? Today on FIL, we bring you a review of Crust and Cream (“C&C”) located in Lagos, Nigeria. I first knew about C&C when I took drives on Musa Yaradua Street and had seen the signs about them opening soon. They finally opened and I found them on Instagram and speaking of Instagram, I personally think it is very important to have your restaurants on social media and all. It really helps. Anyways I had pretty much liked all their pictures on Instagram and it was about time […]
