If culinary brilliance had a postcode, this restaurant would own it. The octopus was tender perfection — the kind that makes you momentarily question whether you’re still in Nigeria or teleported to Santorini. The mushroom stroganoff? A creamy masterpiece that deserves its own Michelin applause.
The wine, a confident South African with a French accent, flirted beautifully with every dish. And the whiskey — simply world-class; the kind that convinces philosophers to cancel their lectures.
But alas, the evening’s harmony was ambushed… by the groundnuts. Whoever supplies them clearly harvests disappointment for a living. My wife, poor thing, had a mild stomach reaction — and that’s when the restaurant’s resident genius, the high-IQ waiter, confidently reassured her: “It will pass.” Indeed, Socrates would’ve been proud of such profound medical insight.
All in all, this place remains Nigeria’s culinary gold standard. Just one small recommendation: please, change the groundnut supplier before someone’s stomach decides to file an official complaint
Worth every penny.
Beautiful restaurant, lovely decor, amazing staff and amazing food- I have been here a few times and haven’t been disappointed.
We had an impromptu dinner with family here and they were very accommodating with the last minute notice. We had an amazing waiter who was able to make good recommendations for us based and we were impressed with everything thing we had including the drinks and wine.
Highly recommend
