We had an amazing time here, the food tasted incredible and felt just like home. We had the lamb bunny chow, potjiekos and the lamb was cooked to perfection. The cheesecake and peppermint crisp for dessert was unreal too. 10/10!

Wow, fantastic, incredible 11/10 from the time we arrived and greeted by the owner, Wim and shown to our table. Really friendly staff, our waitress from Romania was natural and lovely. The food was delicious, I had the bunny chow, it was delicious. Also I had IPA beer, perfect. The desert, cheese cake, was the best I have had. A really enjoyable evening with our friends. We tried to book the night before but fully booked. We parked a few minutes walk away as I think parking may be a bit difficult? Definitely we will go back the next time we visit Lagos.

We had a delicious meal. Being vegetarian myself, it was great to have a choice. The goats cheese salad was amazing and the lentil boboti delicious. The side dishes of vegetables were also unusual and very tasty. We shared a minty dessert, though we didn't have room really! Also totally delicious. The service was excellent too, very attentive and the food was brought quickly too.
