Thai & other Asian food. Excellent, tasty food, good service
and friendly owners. They also deliver takeaways to the islands. Expect to
pay N1500-N2000 for a main course.
Delicious (and deliciously expensive) sushi & other Japanese
cuisine, with a strong wine list. The interior is pure Kyoto. Everything is
lovingly detailed, from the cutlery to the woodwork. Ladies: don't forget
your kimono. Gents: don't expect any Geisha girls!
Churras, the first Brazillian restaurant in Lagos, opened in
January 2006. Set in a circular space overlooking Five Cowrie Creek in the
compound of The Lagoon Restaurant, the location is superb.
A bar in the centre of the room is the ideal place to meet up for a relaxed
drink. Order a daiquri and watch jet skiers whizz passed the window. Close
your eyes and drink in the dreamy latin music.. For those coming to eat, the
usp of Churras is hidden in its name: churras are Brazillian-style barbecued
meats that are served by waiters swanning from table to table slicing off
choice delicacies.
Eat all the meat you can for N5500. Churras is also an excellent option for
veggies, with a wonderful collection of salads (eat all you can for N2000)
Open 12-4pm and 7pm-midnight (dining) - bar open after midnight.
Opened in late 2004, Guaranga is run by the local Hari
Krishna community in Apapa. The tasty and nutritious Indian food is served
on an eat-all-you can buffet basis. It is affordable and value for money - a
great place to take the family for Sunday brunch. Downstairs there is a gift
shop selling Indian craft items. There is also a Hari Krishna temple in the
compound.
Marco Polo launched late in 2005. The menu has a strong
seafood bias, with Croaker, Prawns, Lobster, Crab and Squid all on offer in
various forms. The interior is sleek, well lit and inviting. Expect to pay
around N3000 per head not including drinks.

Tanjia is perhaps surprisingly the first Moroccan restaurant
in Lagos. It was worth the wait. The interior is gorgeous, a real North
