Elysium Lagos
Lagos has restaurants, lounges, and cafés, but then there’s Elysium, sitting pretty in Lekki Phase 1 like that one friend who has it all: beauty, brains, and good food.
Open from 11am to 2am (yes, they don’t sleep), this spot is giving us breakfast energy, dinner elegance, and late-night gist sessions all in one.
Business Lunch, but Make It Fancy
Forget the days of sad office rice and stew. At Elysium, Business Lunch isn’t just a meal, it’s a whole 3-course experience. Every Monday to Wednesday from 1pm to 5pm, ₦50k gets you appetizers, mains, desserts, and drinks that could easily impress your boss, or that friend who never agrees Lagos restaurants are worth the hype.
The menu reads like a foodie love letter:
- Appetizers: Mushroom soup, spicy chicken wings, Caesar salad, basically, everything that makes small chops look unserious.
- Mains: Ribeye steak, seafood pasta, chicken jalfrezi, all paired with sides like smoked jollof, Irish fries, or sweet mashed potatoes.
- Desserts: Chocolate pistachio praline tart and blueberry petit gateux, aka desserts that sound so bougie you’ll automatically start speaking with a British accent after the first bite.
And the drinks? Lynchburg Lemonade, Mango Martini, and the 32 Rivers Park Cooler. Don’t worry, you’ll still find your way home (hopefully).
Pick Your Vibe
Elysium isn’t just one thing; it’s four vibes in one location:
- Fine Dining – The El Dorado of eating out. Think: “tablecloth restaurants,” but way cooler.
- Garden Restaurant – A little nature, a little magic, and just enough serenity to make you forget Lagos traffic.
- Lounge – Loud enough for gist, calm enough for dates, and perfect for pretending you didn’t already stalk the menu before arriving.
- Coffee Shop – Cozy, cute, and Instagram-worthy. Whether you want to reflect, recharge, or just flex with your iced latte, the café’s got you.
Final Verdict
Elysium is basically that overachiever cousin who can cook, host, and still look good while doing it. Whether it’s a business lunch, a romantic date, or just catching vibes with friends, this spot has something for everyone.
