The Yardstick Lounge (Alagomeji, Lagos) 14 Herbert Macaulay Way, Sabo | Phone | Instagram I recently visited Yardstick at Alagomeji; the lounge is just above the sweet sensation fast food restaurant. To access the lounge, you need to go through the restaurant. The interior was quite nice, there were different seating options available, and I noticed a couple of people working there, so this might be a good work spot. MEAL They had two menu options available; one for the lounge and one for the restaurant downstairs. I already tried the restaurant downstairs, so I ordered from the yardstick lounge menu. […]

Afefeyeye Restaurant (Ikeja, Lagos) 41, Ogundana Street, Ikeja|Phone |Instagram Another one on the mainland! 🥳 We visited Afefeyeye Restaurant for lunch. This restaurant is more of a bar vibe but it works as the space also has a cinema, a terrace bar and a lounge! All in one space and so uniquely decorated. I loved the interior design; the vibe was giving traditional but aesthetically pleasing still👌 STARTER I started off with the Goat meat pepper soup which was a bit spicy🌶 so if you don’t like spicy food, you should let them know. This was so delicious, […]

Chophaus (GRA, Ikeja) 46B Isaac John Street, GRA, Ikeja | Number | Instagram Chophaus is a small kiosk-like restaurant that serves street food with a little twist. You’ll find this in their Instagram bio. I think their logo is particularly interesting. I visited Chophaus with T, but I arrived before she did. It was a somewhat rainy day on the mainland and also was NOT EASY to find. I was already mumbling to myself in the car that the food had better be worth it, if not, they’re gonna see crazy. After finally finding it, I realized I had passed it […]

Rhodes BBQ Smokehouse 29, Oyeleke Street, Oregun, Ikeja ⎥ 0818 900 5522 We visited yet another mainland restaurant for a review, this time in Ikeja. Rhodes BBQ Smokehouse is a fast-casual spot that sells American style barbecue ribs. It’s easy to find, but can easily be missed. Rhodes BBQ Smokehouse is very conscious safety-wise when it comes to COVID-19. There was a security guard at the entrance checking temperatures and making sure that everyone who goes in is wearing a mask, washes their hands and uses a sanitiser. I particularly liked that. I wouldn’t say that there’s […]
