New things are always fun and restaurants are at the top of that list for me. On that note, here’s a shortlist of the more recent 2019 restaurant openings in Lagos.

Warning: this list is not exhaustive, you can contribute by adding some more in the comments.

Atmosphere Rooftop

Where: Lennox Mall Rooftop, Admiralty Way, Lekki phase One.

What to expect: Aesthetic ambience, the menu has lots of grill specials, and it’s very Instagram friendly.

The Junction, Lekki

Where: 23 Adebayo Doherty Road, Lekki Phase One. 

What to expect: Authentic Nigerian dishes. 

Purple bistro

Where: Amphitheatre, University of Lagos*

What to expect: Pop art murals, wings, fries, burgers and everything in between.

*they are currently closed for a little while while they move to a new location. 

Rice

Where: Jubilee Mall, Plot 21 Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase One.

What to expect: Rice. In all it’s forms. There’s also a ‘build your own bowl’ feature which we think is pretty cool. 

Circa Privé

Where: 12E Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase One

What to expect: Not to be allowed to park inside if you drive a Toyota Camry. Range Rover Evoques only, period.

Having written this, it did get me thinking, what’s with all the new restaurants opening in Lekki?
