Quays Lagos

Quays Lagos—pronounced “Keys”—is a stylish spot tucked away in Lekki Phase 1 that’s quietly building a reputation for bold flavors and thoughtful presentation. The interior is sleek and minimal, with a warped ceiling and warm lighting that gives the space a modern, cozy vibe. The open kitchen adds a nice touch, though the occasional kitchen chatter can be a bit distracting.   The goat meat tacos are the standout here—juicy, spicy, and unapologetically Nigerian in flavor. The Sailor’s Lunch, featuring fried fish and sweet potato fries, is well-executed, though the fish could use a bit more presence amidst the batter. The confit lamb shank, however, was a miss—overcooked and dry, lacking the tenderness one would expect. The smoked guinea fowl pasta is rich and flavorful, albeit a bit heavy on the sauce, which can overpower the delicate taste of the fowl.  Cocktails are a mixed bag; the Tiki Namachi, for instance, leans heavily on ginger beer, which can overshadow the other flavors. On the sweeter side, the strawberry daiquiri is refreshing and well-balanced. Desserts like the caramelized cheesecake show promise, though the thick crust and overpowering yogurt topping could be refined for a more harmonious bite.  Service is attentive, and the option to order via QR code adds a modern touch. Prices are on the higher side, with mains ranging from ₦22,000 to ₦25,000, but the quality of ingredients justifies the cost. Overall, Quays Lagos offers a solid dining experience with room for improvement, particularly in consistency and flavor balance.

Quays... I enjoy exploring different High end restaurants from time to time but I have always restricted by movement with Victoria Island and Ikoyi restaurants. So this is my first Lekki restaurant and it did blew me away . From how unsuspecting the beauty is from the ground floor stairs and how it opens up to these beautifully arranged seats and serene space. I love the hanging trees .. Now to the food.. Very very tasty and quite a large, satisfying portion which was definitely a hit for me. I had to take home Price point, very very affordable. Met with the owner and I love that is a Nigerian owned business with an international flare. My overall experience with a Lekki restaurant is now making me move my food and restaurants exploring to the Lekki axis now.. Quays is💕💯

The staff were a bit overwhelmed by our number. The food was good. The deserts were very small but delicious.

I loved their stuffed tiger prawn with rice. It is their bestseller. I always order out because the entrance to the restaurant has a butchery which sometimes gives off an unpleasant smell and kills the overall ambiance.

The food was awesome and the service was excellent. Keep it up!
