7 Of My Favourite Date/hangout Spots In Lagos by freakishkid(op): 9:17am On Oct 31, 2019
If we're being honest, 95% of all the alleged best restaurants are on the island and If we're being real, they sell you an experience and a beautiful interior with average tasting but overpriced dishes.
In my opinion, these are my fav dating spots in Lagos.. And I'd try to spread it across the whole of Lagos and not restrict it to only Lagos island.

In the order of the pictures

1. Noir (on the island, I'd consider it a semi fine dining restaurant with nice dishes and awesome cocktails. Just let your Wallet be a bit chubby)

2. Ofada Boy (its ironic that I gave them a bad review when I went there but they still made it to my list. Ofadaboy is the restaurant you'd take a white person who wants to have a taste of authentic Nigerian dishes to. No gimmicks, no BS menu, authentic AF, and its located in SuruLere)

3. Dominos/Pinkberry/Coldstone (the three in one restaurant in Ikoyi awolowo road. The choices would overwhelm you, and no need to break the bank)

4. Erik Kayser (also on the island. Very classy, looks very expensive but their menu caters to everyone's wallet. Till date, I've never tasted a baguette that outdid theirs)

5. Eko Hotel Buffet (go on a Sunday. Its like 12k and the buffet comes with unlimited champagne and Chapman. To me, this is my BEST restaurant in Lagos cuz it serves all the food all the restaurants on this list serves and you serve yourself and eat till you drop)

6. Oceans basket (I've been the the one in Ikeja a few times. Their seafood game is fire and to enjoy yourself you might spend more than 10k)

7. Jevinik Restaurant (not a fine dining restaurant but I also call it no a BS restaurant. The portions of their dishes are for giants and very affordable. They major mostly in swallow. I hear there's one on the island but its the Ikeja one I've been to)

I'd probably do a part 2 (island/fine dining), a part 3 (mainland), and a part 4 (Coded Restaurants you must visit)

Mention your top 3 fav Lagos restaurants. Let me visit them and review them to see if they are good enough.

Out of curiosity, I checked out your page...some followers you've got there
You're quite brutal too . undecided

Please don't go about ruining businesses.

I have some questions to ask:

How did you start ?
Was it out of passion or you were just being mischievous?
Do you make money out of it ?

How did i start: I've always been a foodie who loves cooking and visiting restaurants. I randomly did a restaurant review and people asked for more reviews, so, i continues

Do i make money out of it: No. I didn't do it for money and if i don't ever get paid, i wont stop.

Was it out of passion: Yes. I'm a foodie first and food critic second. I praise restaurants that are good and call out restaurants that are not up to parr.

Hope you followed me on instagram
