Three Lagos Food Spots You Should’ve Visited Yesterday
If there’s anything we’ve established, it’s that Lagos is stressful. Between dodging okadas, and explaining to your boss why you’re late (again), you deserve a break. A delicious, well-plated, vibes-on-vibes kind of break.
Good news: We found three spots that don’t just serve food—they serve experiences.
1. Foodies Hot and Spicy – Lekki Phase 1
If your taste buds have been begging for an adventure, then it’s time to head over to Foodies Hot and Spicy, where African food heritage meets Lagos Luxury.
This place is giving Nigerian food but make it luxury. From sleek wooden tables to an open-show kitchen where you watch your food go from zero to zaddy, Foodies is a whole vibe. And if you’re feeling extra (as you should), check out their private dining lounge. It’s giving “I work hard, I deserve jollof served with jazz.”
Oh, and the lighting? Perfect for that “caught off guard” selfie where you’re clearly posing. We see you.
- 31 Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1
- Open everyday: 7:00 AM – 12:00 AM
- Pro Tip: Don’t wear tight jeans. You’ll want room for seconds.
2. Tiffany Amber Café – Ikoyi
Tiffany Amber Café is what happens when peace of mind meets plated pancakes. Tucked away on Gerrard Road, this is the spot for people who drink oat milk lattes and say things like, “This bagel reminds me of Paris.”
The vibe here is clean, calm, and curated to perfection. Garden seating? Yes. Soft jazz in the background? Most likely. The kind of food that makes you temporarily forget rent is due? Absolutely.
And if you care about aesthetics (you do), this place serves ✨ Instagram-worthy everything ✨—from the smoked salmon bagel to the décor.
- 15 Gerrard Road, Ikoyi
- Open Tuesday – Sunday: 8AM – 10PM
- Pro Tip: Dress nice. Even the pancakes are dressed to kill.
3. 12” Baguette – Ikeja GRA
Now, if you believe in love at first bite, 12” Baguette is your soulmate in sandwich form.
Located in the heart of Ikeja GRA, this spot is where fast food meets finesse. Think gourmet, healthy sandwiches that look good, taste better, and leave you wondering why you ever settled for that shawarma down the street.
The space is simple but cute, and yes—there are rules. No outside food, no feet on benches, and no asking for WhatsApp orders (they’re begging you, please stop). Also, no parking space—so come with Uber, or bring your “parallel parking under pressure” A-game.
And if you’re planning a bridal shower, corporate hangout, or just want to eat five sandwiches with zero judgment—they offer in-house catering. Your event, but elevated (and edible).
📍 40B Oba Dosumu Close, Ikeja GRA
🕐Open everyday, check online for exact hours
💡 Pro Tip: Don’t cry when your sandwich ends. Just order another one.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re team pounded yam in a posh setting, team pancakes and peace, or team sandwich so fine it could be your next wallpaper, Lagos has a spot for you.
So go ahead—book the Uber, put your phone on DND, and treat your taste buds like royalty. Life’s too short for bad food and boring restaurants.
You’re welcome. 🥂
