How to choose safely

What to check before choosing bars in Lagos

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

  • Check recency

    Restaurants change fast. Recent reviews and photos matter more than old popularity signals.

  • Match the occasion

    Confirm ambience, parking, reservation rules, family-friendliness, and menu availability before going.

  • Watch consistency

    Repeated comments about service speed, cleanliness, portions, and pricing are more useful than one viral review.

Food was great and very filling. Nice customer service. Our attendant Mary was very lovely. Enough parking space. If you are like me who doesnt have an adventurous taste buds, just stick to what you are familiar with lol. I had the 'grilled fish' and chips and honestly I didnt enjoy the fish because it didnt taste like what I am used to lol so maybe another thing to do is ask the waiters questions but luckily the sauce from my starter was a great help to eat it. Other than that, it was a good experience.

    • Emmanuel B. ★★★★★ First time guest. Frankly the gentleman waiter(forgot his name) was quite exceptional and very helpful. Unfortunately, after 30mins of waiting after placing our order, the kitchen calls him to inform him that there was an emergency which had to do with no gas to cook. Asking that we wait for upwards of an extra 35mins to figure out how to resolve this. Even appetiser wasn't available. We had to leave without eating. I still hold that the professionalism of the waiter was noteworthy. However the kitchen staff behaviour and slip-up in planning messed the entire experience up. Prices look fair (I was looking forward to lambchops and mashed potato(recommended by waiter)) ambience was good. Won't most likely be returning.

    • Manzo N. ★★★★★ La Taverna felt like an Italian downtown restaurant. It's a beautiful space with good food. The only the u wasn't so comfortable with was the wait time to get attended to or having to scout around to look for the person attending to your table. If possible, the owners can get a table bell or indicator so guest can use the botton to notify the servers. Overall, it was a good experience and affordable prices.
