Decent food, nothing special - Edit
Cute place and the staff are nice Belgian folks. Vegan options are few and pretty basic (curry, chili, tebboleh), but pretty cheap for the portion size. This place is probably more for the drinks and atmosphere than for the food...
Read moreAs a matter of fact I chose this instead of the nearby vegetarian place because it was supposed to accept credit cards and I hate paying with cash. In the end "their machine didn't work" so paid cash anyways 😕
At least they were cheaper...
Pros: Labled vegan options, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Basic and mild, Sometimes accepts only cash

Nice bar and restaurant - Edit
A few clearly labeled vegan options. Had the curry but there where not a lot of spices inside, it tasted a bit boring.

Hit the spot! - Edit
We had a great dinner here. The mint tea was delicious. The hummus and olive tapenade held us over until our meals arrived. The falafel and the vegan chili were excellent and liked by all including our 8 & 11 year olds. The lemon grass curry was also excellent. The vegan brownie was delicious! The owner is super friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

Not impressed - Edit
Had dinner at La Estrella, but I was not impressed. They do have some vegan options which is nice but I found the food kinda bland.
Read moreTried the hummus tapenade, the falafel and the chili sin carne.. none of them were bad, don't get me wrong, but they were just "ok" and I guess I expect more from a restaurant.
The cook is super nice though and came to the room and asked people about the food.
Maybe it will be a nice place for some people, but for me it was lacking.

I had the vegan curry, which tasted really good.

Pros: Enough vegan options , Super friendly staff, Tasty vegan food
Cons: A bit expensive

Gezellige bar/restaurant - Edit
Gezellige bar/restaurant met veel speciaal bier en live muziek. Vegan opties zijn duidelijk aangegeven op de kaart. O.a. falafel, chili sin carne, curry en vegan brownie. Prijzen vergelijkbaar met Nederland en België.

Good food and nice service - Edit
Really nice food, selection of different cuisines and clearly marked menu with vegan options - plenty to choose from. The staff were lovely and happy to chat, they also had a lovely rescue dog. It was a little expensive I felt though. I would recommend the thai curry with seitan - the seitan was delicious and done slightly different to how I've tried before! Went with non vegan friends and everyone enjoyed the food.

War okay - Edit
Essen wird frisch zubereitet. Man kann den Köchen bei der Zubereitung zuschauen.
Read moreHabe den Falafel-Teller genommen.
War in Ordnung, aber nicht vergleichbar mit einer syrischen Falafel. Würde dieses Gericht nicht noch einmal bestellen.
Mein Freund hatte Chili sin Carne, das war sehr lecker.
Fresh food, but not the traditional taste of a Falafel.. You should like coriander, they used lots of it.
Chili sin Carne was much better than the Falafel menu.

Good, but... - Edit
I had dinner with non vegetarian friends at La Esterella and I could eat quite a good amount of vegan stuff (felafels, fries, chili sin carne...). Staff is friendly, and the atmosphere was quiet.
Read moreHowever... It's right besides Estúdio Vegetariano! If you can, go there, it's my favorite restaurant in Lagos!

I am writing this review as I am eating here - it's that good - Edit
Exceptional! Disappointed that I can only award 4 stars.
Read moreThe fritters were absolutely amazing with a light fragrant light veganaise!
I had the falafel platter which is absolutely ridiculously tasty! And also tried the Thai curry which was one of the best curries ever eaten (yes even those had in different parts of Asia).
I am not recommending - I am URGING you to give it a try if you're around. What e GEM! Belgian beers and a fantastic chef!

Amazing Find - Edit
A really good selection of creative vegan food. Service was wonderful. There is a lovely ambience in this place. Falafels were delicious as was the tempeh starter. I actually ordered too much food and was stuffed. Great selection of beers too. Small patio at back. Also had a chat with the chef at the end of the evening ... she was really lovely and passionate about her job. Hotly recommended place.
Read moreI want to give five stars because service and atmosphere are impeccable as well as food ... but option not available

great food, great hosts - Edit
Greeted with a smile, closely followed by a couple of high quality cocktails. We ordered the Thai curry Vegan & the beetroot and peanut plate with some frites on the side and were really sad when it ended. Exchanged some nice stories with the owners who are lovely Flemish folk Igna & Oliver. Massive thumbs up would strongly recommend to anyone travelling to Lagos looking for good food.

Lovely food from lively people! - Edit
I found this restaurant through happycow and thought I would give it a try! And I’m so happy I did! I had fries with veganaise as a starter and it was lovely! As a main dish I had the thai curry and the portion was perfect for me! It was full of fresh veggies and the taste was wonderful! Really happy that I came to this place! Extra plus: the people who own the place are really nice and friendly! Would recommand! 😊 Would have given 5 stars if it was possible, but happycow doesn’t allow it as it is not a full veggie restaurant..
Read morePros: Loads of fresh veggies, Great portions, Really cheap for the quality of food

Amazing Food!! - Edit
I recently went on holiday to Lagos and I was worried about what vegan options there would be. I used the happycow app and managed to find a good few that catered for vegans but this was the best by miles!!
Read moreThe Thai yellow curry was so good!! And the vegan chocolate brownie was to die for!!
Great service and the owners were lovely, would of given it a 5star rating but as it's not fully vegan I can't!

We had the french fries and falafel. It was very nice! Unfortunately they gave us Joghurt sauce instead of Vegannaise, but that was not auch a big deal.
