The 19 Best Restaurants in Lagos, Nigeria - Eater

"If you are keen on photography in Nigeria, updates on its very dramatic political scene, or just everyday Lagos banter, then you should spend some time at Madam Tique’s, a family-owned restaurant on the Lagos mainland that doubles as a hub for young photographers under the tutelage of ace photographer Uche James Iroha. Be sure to ask for a bowl of fish pepper soup (fresh fish cooked with peppers, onion, local spices, and scent leaves, with utazi leaves served with the broth) to wake up your palate, followed by a mixed platter of jollof (a one-pot rice dish cooked in richly spiced tomato sauce), fried rice, coleslaw, and well-barbecued chicken.
