Elysium Lagos

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲, 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 This was my second visit to Elysium, and it remains a top choice for a semi-casual hangout with close friends. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: * 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Their garden restaurant design is fantastic. It gives you that refreshing feeling of being outdoors while still being in a protected space. * 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 & 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: The menu is "not shabby" at all. I’ve enjoyed both meals I’ve had here, and the pricing is fair for the quality, expect to spend between 35k to 50k per person for a good time. * 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀: I usually visit in the early afternoon, and I’ve found the parking to be spacious and stress-free (though I can't vouch for the evening rush). 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: We are in Lagos, and the heat is real. The restaurant needs to invest in better, more evenly distributed cooling. There are spots in the restaurant that get uncomfortably warm, which takes away from the otherwise great atmosphere. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁: I will definitely be back. It’s a great "platform" for a long lunch, provided they can get the temperature right.

Elysium was not that great, to be honest, starting from trying to locate the actual entrance, to taking the wrong turn to go upstairs to coming back downstairs and eventually locating the glass door. The ambiance is nice and looks quite classy, but service was a bit below par. We had the stake combo meal and had the whole ceremony that came along with it, but on biting into it, it was underwhelming. That's besides the issues with flies and power going off and the AC not apparently coming back on for a bit. The drinks were great, and the appetizer was refreshing. So, not all woes. Finally, the glassy structure is also not very protected from sunlight, and so it can become quite uncomfortable based on that. We also tried dessert from the shop at the front, and it was also 'bleh'. But you know what, don't take my word for it, check them out, and let me know if I am wrong!

I had a solo dinner date here. The food was yummy took forever though but it was worth it and I had a salad to go too. Food is a bit pricey but good.

This place is nice and comfortable but on karaoke night it’s loud and you might not hear your voice so pick the right time to visit except you are here to sing lol. The food was pretty decent and the service wasn’t bad

I had my birthday dinner at this elegant restaurant, and I must say it's quite upscale. I ordered the Topuz kebab, and it was cooked perfectly, tender, and delicious. The waiters were exceptionally helpful in suggesting both food and drink options. It was a delightful experience, and to top it off, they surprised me with a cake as a gift.
