3 Lekki Spots That Understand Your Stomach, Your Vibe & Your Instagram
Some Lagos days call for small chops. Others call for something stronger, like BBQ ribs, amala, or chicken tacos that taste like they were made by angels on probation.
Whatever your mood, Lekki has a spot for you, and we’ve found three that deserve your attention (and your appetite).
1. Brass & Copper: For When You Want to Eat, Drink & Forget Lagos Exists

If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t just feed you but also hands you a cocktail and whispers, “Relax, you’re safe here”, Brass & Copper is it.
Their BBQ beef ribs? Messy, glorious, and worth every napkin. Their chef’s salad? So good it might make your jollof-loving friend rethink life choices. And their drinks? Whether you’re team Long Island or a Margarita loyalist, they’ve got your poison (and yes, you can try both, it’s called balance).
The Box of Tricks platter is exactly what it sounds like, dangerously good and possibly magical. Add in a shisha lounge where you can puff clouds and ignore your unread emails, and you’ve got the perfect post-traffic therapy spot.
2. Hungry Belly: For When You’re Too Tired to Cook But Still Deserve Proper Food

Sometimes, your kitchen is just decoration. That’s when Hungry Belly steps in, your dependable plug for hot, fresh, and drama-free meals.
From amala that slaps harder than your auntie’s wedding jollof to pasta and grilled chicken that actually tastes like it was made with care, they deliver on both flavour and presentation. The menu is extensive, with pictures (because, let’s be honest, we all want to see the food before we commit).
Ordering is easy, a WhatsApp message or quick call, and your food is en route. Hosting a crew? They handle big orders too. So whether you’re in Lekki, Ajah, or stuck somewhere on Third Mainland, Hungry Belly is just a few clicks away from making you full and happy.
3. Maple Lagos: For Main Character Brunch Energy

If New York’s brunch scene and Lagos’ love for good vibes had a child, it would be Maple Lagos.
Think French toast stacked like Jenga, chicken and waffles that demand you cancel your diet, and blackened salmon bites that deserve their own TED Talk. The chicken tacos? Honestly, they could fix your Sunday mood, and maybe your love life.
Maple doesn’t play with drinks either. From cute-but-deadly spiked canned cocktails to whiskey-glazed steaks that need a warning label, their bar game is solid. Open every day from 9AM till late, Maple is equally perfect for first dates, solo breakfast therapy, or that “let’s just have one drink” that turns into three.
Final Verdict
Brass & Copper, Hungry Belly, and Maple Lagos aren’t just restaurants, they’re mood lifters, traffic recovery centres, and mini-vacations all rolled into one. Whether you want messy ribs, doorstep amala, or brunch that belongs on your feed, Lekki has you covered.
