agos is “the city that never sleeps.” It is always buzzing with activity, and one of the best ways to experience this energy is by trying out fun restaurants, which are splattered all over the region. One of my resolutions for the year is to consciously step foot outside my house (introverts will understand), which includes visiting cool spots in Lagos for food, drinks, and ambiance, as well as experiencing the infamous Lagos nightlife.
While populating my year’s visit list, these chill restaurants kept popping up. If you are searching for places to relax and enjoy a great meal, I’ve curated a helpful list of Instagrammable restaurants that understand the assignment.
