Keeping up with Lagos restaurants can feel like a full time job. One week there is a soft launch, the next week your timeline is filled with reviews, group photos and location tags. Still, every now and then, a new spot opens and genuinely earns the attention it is getting.
Over the past few months, several food spots have opened across Lagos. If you are planning to step out this weekend and want somewhere different, here are four of the new food spots worth checking out.
