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 […]

Pit Stop Lagos is a wellness, fitness, and cycling inspired cafe. It’s situated in a quiet area in Victoria Island and is easy to find, but can be easily missed too. Pit Stop Lagos is conscious of the COVID-19 safety measures to an extent. A security guard at the gate ushered me in with a hand sanitiser he sprayed in my hands. He wasn’t particular about nose masks because some people came in […]

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 […]

It’s no news that restaurants and bars in Lagos, and in fact all over the world have been closed for months due to the coronavirus that swept through the world. In March, restaurants were allowed to open again- but only for takeout orders as social distancing was and is still imperative in preventing the spread of the virus. Earlier in the month, however, the Lagos State Government announced that restaurants will be allowed to fully open once again, on the condition that they undergo a thorough inspection and adhere to the strict guidelines of the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC).
