The festival platter was huge, we were four and still couldn&#39;t finish it. The Forbidden Island cocktail was really good though, perfect for a chill hangout 🍹

Tacos are the best I&#39;ve had in Lagos, hands down. Cocktails were solid too. Outdoor seating&#39;s a nice touch, though it got a bit warm. Worth stopping by if you&#39;re in the area.

The place looks stunning once it gets dark, really pretty for photos. Food was solid and the fresh juices tasted properly made. Parking is a bit tight though, but I&rsquo;ll take it for the vibe.

Stumbled on this place in Lagos and the service genuinely caught me off guard&mdash;staff actually seemed happy to be there. Had the spicy jollof and it hit that perfect heat level. Cocktail was solid too, not watered down. Only thing is it got a bit loud later in the evening, but that&#39;s Lagos for you. Would come back for the suya alone.

Came here for a birthday dinner and the live band really set the mood. Food was solid, nothing crazy, but the vibe carried it. Staff checked on us enough without hovering. Place filled up fast by 8pm, so definitely book before coming. Slightly noisy but that&rsquo;s expected with the music.

Stopped by for breakfast and the vibe was pretty cozy. Menu&#39;s kinda small though, no French toast which bummed me out. Got the eggs and they were decent, nothing crazy. Place has that nice morning light coming in. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

The place is gorgeous and the staff really know what they&rsquo;re doing. They even helped us take photos and brought complimentary tea after a little spill. Bouillabaisse was decent, but I expected more seafood in it.

Cozy spot, lights dimmed just right. Had the jollof rice and grilled chicken, flavors were on point. Service took a while but the staff stayed polite. They even threw in a free dessert when I mentioned my birthday.

The Caesar salad here is actually the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while&mdash;fresh, well-dressed, not overdrenched. I also tried the jollof, which was tasty but a bit spicy for my tolerance. The golden fried chicken starter was so good I ended up taking some home. DafitySlammer cocktail is strong and sweet, just how I like it. Only thing is the spice level caught me off guard, but I&rsquo;d still come back.

Stopped by for drinks and a sandwich&mdash;both were solid. Didn&#39;t try the mains, they looked a bit heavy for a chill night. Fine spot to hang with friends though.

The plantain croquettes were the reason I stayed. Had two more plates after the first one. Crispy outside, soft inside, that sweetness came through proper. Charcuterie board was decent too, meats were fresh. Didn&#39;t really care about the garden or the decor. Just give me more of those croquettes and I&#39;m good.

Came here on a weekday afternoon, not too busy. Got the jollof rice and a Chinese beef dish &mdash; both decent, nothing crazy. Place is clean and quiet enough to actually sit and think. Prices fair for the portion. Service was a bit slow but the guy was polite. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Cool animal decor all over the place, really unique vibe. Gets super packed on weekends though, so definitely book ahead.

The milkshake and pizza were really good, exactly what I was in the mood for. Nice vibe and music too. Just wish they&rsquo;d been clearer about the extra charges on the bill.

Nice spot for families. Kids hit the playground outside while we ate, so they were busy and happy. Outdoor seating was chill, not too loud. Food came out fine, nothing crazy but decent. Would sit outside again if the weather holds.

Nice spot for a casual meeting. Outdoor seating is comfortable, indoor fills up fast on weekends so come early. Ambiance is well done, not too loud. Food was decent, nothing fancy but solid. Service was quick enough for a weekday lunch. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area and need a reliable place to talk business.

The croissants are solid if you eat them warm. Chicken and meat pies were decent too. Ice cream&rsquo;s the real standout here, but the bakery stuff is worth grabbing.

Burgers were juicy and the bun was properly toasted. Patty cooked just right. One of the better spots around for a quick bite, no complaints.

The cave-style decor really caught my attention when I walked in. It felt like a totally different vibe from the usual restaurants around. I sat near the bar and the staff checked on me just enough without hovering. The Midnight Goblet cocktail was smooth and refreshing, exactly what I needed after a long day. Only thing is the lighting is a bit dim for reading the menu, but honestly it adds to the mood. Would come back for that drink again.
