Food Prefect: A Quick Guide to Eating Out in Lagos

Are you planning to dine out but worried about making the wrong choice? Worry no more! We've compiled some essential tips to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of delightful. Avoid those "stories that touch" by following our straightforward advice.

1. Check Their Instagram:

Before stepping out, take a moment to browse the restaurant's Instagram page. This is a treasure trove of crucial information, including their opening hours and any reservation requirements. A serious establishment will make it easy for you to find what you need, typically in their highlights or via a link.

2. Peek at the Menu:

Ever experienced the "had I known" moment? Avoid it by previewing the menu online. With some restaurants charging extravagant prices (yes, we're talking about 15k cocktails!), it's wise to ensure your wallet is ready for the adventure. Plus, the menu gives a clear idea if the restaurant aligns with your taste. Remember, not every chic eatery serves Nigerian food – so check beforehand to avoid disappointment.

3. Dress Code Research for the Baddies:

For all the baddies out there, make sure you're up to speed with the restaurant's dress code. Lagos dining spots can be quite particular, and you don't want any surprises. If you encounter an unreasonable anti-hottie code, feel free to voice your thoughts online – such policies deserve calling out.

4. Analyze the Food Pictures:

Restaurants often entice with beautifully worded descriptions, only to serve something basic. Don’t get played – scrutinize the food pictures on their Instagram. This will give you a realistic expectation of what to expect. A lack of food pictures? That's a red flag for us.

5. Read Reviews:

Lastly, and most importantly, check out reviews. They are the best way to gauge the quality and experience of a restaurant. Our blog features detailed reviews, and if we haven't covered a place yet, let us know – we'll get right on it!

Dining out should be an enjoyable experience, not a gamble. By following these simple tips, you can ensure your next restaurant visit is a hit. Happy dining, and remember, forewarned is forearmed!
