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 […]

Shores Dining Restaurant And Lounge (Victoria Island) 1 Oluniyi Olumide Crescent | 08107486818 | Instagram Update: This is now Goza Lagos Hey Foodies! How’s the new year coming along? Ours is off to a ‘food’ start at Shores Dining! 😁 We visited Shores Dining Restaurant and Lounge for dinner. Shores Dining is located on Oluniyi Olumide Crescent, Victoria Island. One has to be watchful because it’s easy to miss. There are three dining spaces within the restaurant; two dining spaces downstairs; one of which is for general dining, while the other is strictly for private dining. There’s also a smoking […]

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 […]

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 […]

7th Continent a La Carte by Mega Chicken Lateef Jakande Road | 0906 777 9460 If you were asked to name the top 10 fast-food restaurants in Lagos, Mega Chicken would be on that list. But, does this restaurant only serve the regular “after Sunday service” food or is there more to it? Mega Chicken seems to have more in store for Lagosians than an affordable plate of Jollof rice and an oversized piece of chicken. The restaurant also hosts guests to an affordable tongue soaring trip to China. Say hello to “7th Continent a La Carte”, the Chinese meal […]

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 […]

This time we were here for the Mac n Cheese which we had heard so much about. HSE Gourmet Cafe Lekki is a unique gem in Lekki Phase one. The restaurant is in an unassuming mall on Fola Osibo Lekki, very easy to miss if you’re not familiar with the area. I had been here on two previous occasions so […]

The experiences today from readers are on Casa Lydia and Urban Fuxion Food Truck in Lagos. Catch up on previous experiences and see here for background on this column 🙂 Urban Fuxion “To the Main Foodie This is my review of Urban Fuxion, the popular food truck in Lagos. My colleague and i stopped by the food truck on our way back to the office after a meeting. The meeting had lasted about 3 hours so we were extremely famished and UF was the first thing that came to mind. I ordered the classic burger with […]
