Cactus Lagos
If you’ve lived in Lagos long enough and you haven’t heard of Cactus, are you even Lagosian?
Sitting pretty on Ozumba Mbadiwe since 1998 (yes, it’s been here since NEPA was still doing anyhow).
There’s the restaurant, the bakery (yes, cake lovers unite), a lagoon-facing terrace that gives soft breeze and big vibes, and food that lives rent-free in your mind long after your last bite.
Let’s talk about the food—aka the real MVP.
Start with the Shrimp Dynamite: it’s giving crispy, zesty, and “why didn’t I order two?” Then there’s Omokurin, aka the BBQ pizza of your dreams. Mozzarella, pepperoni, chicken, sausage and a BBQ swirl that says, “I came to slay.”
Feeling adventurous? Enter the White Marinara Pasta yes, white. And if you’re the type who eats dessert first, bless your sweet tooth with the Bailey’s trifle or their legendary Flow Cake.
Lagoon views? Check. Good music? Check. Shisha that doesn’t taste like burning charcoal? Triple check. If you need an Instagrammable spot to chill, this is your scene.
Final Verdict?
Cactus Lagos is that OG spot that keeps getting better with time. Whether you’re pulling up for date night, family brunch, or a solo food adventure (no shame), this place delivers every single time. Good food, good views, good vibes. What else do you really need?
