Awesome spot in Lagos for natural wine and light dining. Inside is a cozy wine bar, outside seating is a calm sidewalk cafe vibe.
The oyster mushroom offered a large heaping portion of roasted mushrooms. Very tender. Sesame sauce is light and bursting with umami and salt. This dish was served cold, not sure if intentional or not, but delicious nonetheless. Will absolutely order again. Perfect for sharing, but the portion was big enough to be an entree on its own.
The grilled cabbage is a light dish and cooked with a slight char. The quarter head of cabbage serves as the perfect vehicle for the salty and sweet pepper and sun-dried tomato romesco. I'll note that this is a very thick and chunky romesco, not the typical purée consistency. It was almost the consistency of a tapenade. The Parmesan shavings elevate every bite with a little salt. Would definitely order again.
The roasted carrots was another winner. The labneh is subtle and creamy, not too tangy or rich. It actually complemented the carrots quite well and did not overpower the dish. Carrots were cooked fork tender. The pistachios were a nice touch to introduce a little crunch as a distinct textural layer to the creamy labneh and soft carrots. I really enjoyed this dish, but would probably skip next time to try other tapas options.
Five stars, even though they didn't have either port I wanted to try! Next time :) read more
