(Muri Okunola St; 11am-11pm)
With the best Thai food in Lagos, the Bangkok is a treat. The
cooks and waitresses are all Thai, and offer you a broad menu of fragrantly spiced dishes.
Portions are very generous, and if you can't finish your meal, they're used to sending
people home with a doggie bag.
Cactus
BAKERY

(Maroko Rd; mains from N1200; 8am-10pm)
This place labels itself primarily as a patisserie, but
it also serves up proper meals throughout the day. Breakfasts of pancakes or bacon are
good, as are the pizzas, and the club sandwiches with salad and chips are simply huge -
excellent value at N1800.
