Nigeria

Restaurants in Nigeria

  1. A

    Bangkok Restaurant

    With the best Thai food in Lagos, the Bangkok is a treat. The cooks and waitresses are all Thai, and offer you a broad menu of fragrantly spiced dishes. Portions are very generous, and if you can't finish your meal, they're used to sending people home with a doggie bag.

    Sherlaton

    Vegetarians suffer a lot in Nigeria, but this Indian restaurant really comes to the rescue. With tasty and filling portions at good prices, the Sherlaton is generally considered to be the city's best curry option.

    Double Four

    Offering mainly Lebanese dishes, the menu at Double Four tries to throw everything into the mix - Nigerian, Continental, a bit of Indian - so if you're unsure where to dine, this might be the place. It seems to work, as the place is always packed.

    Museum Kitchen

    At the National Museum in Onikan you'll find the Musuem Kitchen, a good place to try traditional Nigerian cuisine. To the strains of local music, you can sample dishes like yam soup, pepper soup, fufu (fermented cassava), stockfish and snails.

    Ghana High Buka

    Just outside the Ghanaian High Commission, this 'food-is-ready' place serves up great Nigerian dishes, such as egusi and iwesu, and as much pounded starch as you can eat. It's always busy and you'll likely come back for more.

    Ikoyi Hotel suya

    Why make all the effort to get to this hotel just for suya? Well, Lagosians do, as it's the best in town and offers not just beef and goat, but chicken, liver and kidney, plus some great fiery pepe to spice it all up.

    Santa Fe

    A splurge place by Ikoyi standards, Santa Fe sells Tex-Mex food and has décor that almost has you expecting a Nigerian John Wayne to walk in and slam his gun on the bar. The live band, sadly, doesn't play mariachi music.

    Pat's Place

    Pat's is popular with expats, and serves excellent pizzas, hamburgers and British pub food like steak and kidney pie. It has a well-stocked selection of imported American and European beers, and occasional live bands.

    Ocean View

    Almost on Bar Beach - the name is a bit of a misnomer really - this airy restaurant has lots of glass and a long bar kept cool under delicious air-con. The menu offers a mix of international dishes; steaks are good.

    La Dolce Vita

    It's no surprise to find pasta and pizza on the menu in a place like this, with the setting evoking an old Italian bistro. Wash down well-cooked and appetising food with a good drop of red.

    Lobster Pot

    Next to Michael's Guesthouse, the Lobster Pot is the place to come for seafood. There's a wide selection, with the house speciality - lobster of course - worth a splurge.
