UNRAVELLING NIGERIA

This is the way I view Lagos weekends. Friday is typically turn up night, that’s when the clubs are typically popping. Probably, hit up a pregame spot before ending up at a trendy club where u can enjoy good music, dance a storm and enjoy the best of Lagos nightlife. On Saturday, there is typically a wedding to go eat small chops at, a food festival or some pop up event. On Sunday after going to church or not, people hit up one of the many Sunday brunch buffets that exist in

Who can pass up an offer of amazing seafood? Definitely not me. After a couple of strawberry daiquiris, heinekens and the seafood platters I wasn’t mad my brother chose Ocean Basket for his birthday celebration. Ocean Basket is a South African restaurant chain which has made its way down to Lagos and positioned its self as the best sea food restaurant in town (if there are any decent ones around). We already had a seating area upstairs waiting for our party and after we got s

Rhapsody’s is a bar/restaurant that has this cosmopolitan feel to it with a recurring blue theme going on. I generally like the whole bar vibe it has going on. I can appreciate the simplicity and style of the restaurant. They have 3 branches, Ikeja City Mall, Lekki and V.I. Today’s visit was to the Ikeja branch. My friend and I went at lunch time so it was generally quiet and nice. I hear it gets really busy in the evenings so if you’re don’t fancy eating with a crowd you sho

I’ve mentioned it here before that every time my friend comes into the country, we go restaurant hunting and this trip was no different. This time we tried out Rodizzio in Ikeja. I’ll start by saying DO NOT order their cranberry juice. The pack said cranberry juice but it was something else inside. It didn’t even look like cranberry juice. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, Rodizzio is a 5 year old Nigerian restaurant/lounge that draws inspiration from Brazil, America

After go karting at The Get Arena, my brother and I headed to Double 4 to grab a bite to eat. I’ve been there a couple of times and I usually get the pasta, but I decided to change things up this time. Big mistake! Double 4 is one of those restaurants that have been in Lagos for a long time, I remember ordering their pizza as a kid. Some people like to describe it as a place to go to when you want to eat food that warms your heart and reminds you of your mothers cooking. Do I

You should go to The Orchid Bistro because : 1. It’ll get you crowned kids of the year, especially if you take your parents there. 🙂 2. This place is literally a hidden gem, and if you don’t know exactly where to look, or are rushing you’ll miss it. 3. Since it’s hidden, you know you’re not going to be dining with a crowd. 4. It’s a small charming restaurant that comes with a garden which can also be used for outdoor dining. 5. I loved how even though the main restaurant is

Hey guys, Today’s update is taking a new experimental turn I’ve been toying with.  I’m temporarily trying out what I think I might potentially call a flash post that is submitted by contributors. Sometimes, you guys go to places and find yourselves randomly taking pictures but not necessarily enough for a full posting. So that’s where the idea flash post come’s in. It just basically serves as an excuse for me to drop little updates by you guys even if there are not enough pic

I’m a foodie and I’m very proud. Feel free to judge me. I had a lunch meeting with the IT geek who will be responsible for transforming this website. Jevnik was the restaurant of choice. It is a restaurant that serves strictly Nigerian dishes from abacha to ekpang nkukwo, and has been in business for about 15 years. I figure they are giving yellow chilli some serious competition considering they’re in the same area. My friend said it feels like a posh bukka to her and I kind

Some time last year, I met up with a couple of people at this restaurant, but unfortunately I didn’t get anything to eat. I can’t remember why, but I knew when the opportunity came up again, I would definitely come back. Fast forward to this year, a colleague and I picked here to have have a late lunch. Golden Eagle Spur is a South African steak & burger restaurant that recently opened two branches in Ikeja, Lagos. They like to advertise themselves as a family restaurant as t

It was my birthday a couple of days ago, so I had offers from people to take me out. Lucky for me and for you guys. First up on the list of birthday lunches is Spice Route. I’ve heard of spice route before, so I was really excited when my friend said that was were we would be having lunch. Not only is it a high class pan Asian restaurant, it also comes alive in the the night time and turns into a club. It is one of the hot spots for clubbing right now, this may change next mo

Hey guys, so I’m here with ‘From the Horse’s mouth’. I will ask various people a couple of questions about the different states in the country that they live  or have lived in (They choose which they want to speak on). They’ll give advice on living there, and you can hear what they think about where they are, what they like or don’t like. Best part? People living in the same state will probably have different answers to certain questions so this way, you know what each state
