    Garlic prawns
    Theresa G.

    There was a long line to get in, waited about 20 minutes. My family and I really enjoyed all of our dishes. Between the appetizers, fish, steak and dessert they ranked 5 i will probably come back this week for more.

    Dinner at Restaurante Lacus!

    Amazing fresh seafood food by the ocean, what else can I ask for? We got the fresh sardines, clams,…read moresalmon, and sea bass. We loved everything including the dessert and coffee. The staff was extra nice and helped us money exchange situation.

My friend and I had some amazing meals while in…read moreLagos, and unfortunately this just was not on par with the seafood we experienced elsewhere. Lota is good for groups and families, wielding picnic style benches, quick service, and affordable prices. But make sure to bring cash! We couldn't believe our eyes at some of the prices (pâté for only 0,6€?? squid for 11,50€??), but quickly learned that this was because the pâté came in a little peel-pack, and the sangria tasted like artificial strawberry juice. However, spend wisely and you will get full. The fish is mostly grilled, with minimal marination or fuss but it does taste pretty fresh. We were brought boiled potatoes and salad to accompany our meal which was a nice balance to the meal. Everything came out pretty quickly and it seemed like the vibe was to get diners in and out just as efficiently. No one was rude per se, but the staff very clearly were just waiting for their shift to be over so they could close up. Despite how convenient this eatery is, it probably wouldn't be on my places to return to when I'm back in Lagos.

We got there right at 6 and they gave us one of only 2 remaining tables, telling us we had to be done by 7:30pm. We started with prosciutto & melon which was AMAZING!!!!! And reminded us of Italy. My children got the house style spaghetti which was a cream sauce with tomatoes and ham. Neither kid could get enough! The pasta was soooo tasty. My husband and I shared the Mixed Catalana for 2 - prawns and clams. It was the best meal we had during our almost 2 week trip to Portugal. The broth was so delicious I could've drank it with my spoon. It was loaded with veggies too. Came with white rice on the side and some fried potatoes. Also my husband got a glass of house red wine which was a very generous pour! They only take cash, which we did not know ahead of time. But luckily there's an ATM across the street. They turned tons of people away while we were eating. I guess their system is reservation only from 5:30-7:30pm and then after 7:30pm they allow walks in on a first come, first serve basis.

    Unassuming from the outside and not on a main drag, but don't miss a chance to dine here as it's…read moreone of the best in Lagos! Mexilhao is Portuguese for Mussles and you won't find better mussels ANYWHERE!! Different preparations available but no matter how you go, you'll love them!! They also have a Seared Tuna that is fresh, beautiful, delicious and HUGE! Definitely shareable but you won't be disappointed. We didn't try them, but their garlic prawns are raved about, too, and we will definitely try them when we return! Nice wine selection, limited but ample spirits (gin heavy) and beer available as well as soft options. Great service, too!! A gem in Lagos!

    When we first arrived we were the only customers. We were warmly greeted by the owner and his…read moreemployee. The owner was very congenial and talked to us while we perused the menu. We weren't too hungry as we had had a good lunch. We decided to share a small order of the mussels Thai style for an appetizer and an order of lamb chops for our entrée. Even a small order of mussels is a good size. They were delicious. Our order of lamb chops was very nicely cooked and came with French fries. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. We were told that if we wanted more fries they would be given to us. We also had a bottle of the house white wine and it was a very good wine. When we were the only customers the owner had his own meal prepared and had it set on the table at the back of the restaurant. As the evening progressed the restaurant became very busy and he had to leave his meal uneaten as there was just himself and his employee to service all the tables. At no time were we left wanting for anything even although they were both run off their feet. I noticed an exchange between the owner and the table behind me that left quite an impression on me and to me it indicated an owner who takes a great deal of pride in his business and wants the very best for his customers. As he presented the dishes to the table he pulled one of the dishes back (I think it was chicken) and said that it looked like it was overcooked and was not acceptable. The customer had not said anything but the owner took it upon himself to pull the dish. He told the customer to order something else off the menu, made some suggestions and said that he would even give him steak (a more expensive entrée) for the same price. What a great family restaurant. It has an owner that cares so much about the quality of his food and the experience that his customers will have. He makes a sincere effort to engage with his customers and he really cares. The prices are more than fair for the quality of the food and the overall experience. We would definitely recommend and we will return on future visits to Lagos.

    A lovely family restaurant with the kindest family. Coming here in late October, it's a little less…read morebusy so we were able to slip in for dinner around 8pm without issue. We started with the family lemonade which was so refreshing and had lots of fresh citrus in it. We felt like we were at a family dinner here with how welcoming it was. We got the Sevilla style squid which was ok, the piri piri helped add flavor. The prawns were plump and flavorful in a nice sauce that we used our garlic bread to sop up the flavors. The sea bream was such a nice and light flavor. Crisp on the outside but soft and meaty inside with fries nicely seasoned and cooked. It's off the beaten path a bit on a side street but still central to town.

It was empty so we politely asked if the restaurant was opened and the guy who was sitting on the table (the owner or manager) rudely told us NO NO NO and waved us away. Okay.... just close the doors and update your hours for God's sake. Go learn basic customer service skills. You absolutely need it. Sincerely, A customer all the way from California USA
