Amazing Veggie Food!

I had the seitan satay and gobi masala and both were amazing! They also use fresh fruit for all their juices and smoothies. The staff here are great as well - definitely recommend!

The staff and the owner Oliver were very welcoming and friendly.

lovely vegan friendly restaurant in Lagos

This is a place which have menus for everyone. We wanted to go to the veggie restaurant next door but it was almost closing so we chose this one and it was a good decision ! The food was very good,we had a masala curry and falafel and banana smoothie it was amazing! If you are in Lagos, definitely should visit ;)

Pros: food for everyone, vegan friendly

Lovely Belgians cooking some healthy food in Portugal

Inga and Olivier were lovely hosts and the food was simply amazing! Beautifully prepared with lots of care and veg taste :)
I'm certainly coming back again, also to join their parties in the evenings of sunny Lagos !

Wonderful experience!

I just ate lunch here, as I understood they do vegan & gluten free options which is what I need.
The minute I walked in the owners were so friendly and smiley! They were very attentive to my special dietary needs and the lady who cooks told me exactly what was going into my food.
The food came and the portion was really big, and wow the flavours, was just so tasty and fresh! Shame I was leaving Lagos as I would want to go and eat there again.
The staff were talking to me asking about my morning kayak trip and really cared, which makes such a huge difference.
Restaurant was modern and very clean. 100% recommend!
Only 4 stars as it won't let me give 5 stars for a non-veg restaurant.

Great beer & food

Trendy little place. Vegan options were marked on the menu and the chef (who was very friendly) came out and spoke to us about the different dishes -- we ordered 2 tapas to share and they were delicious! My husband was also very impressed with the beer menu :)

Pros: Vegan options marked

Cons: The bread wasn't vegan

Mooie Mix

Met happy cow bij 2 authentieke Belgen uit Gent terechtgekomen. Een heerlijk Belgisch biertje besteld!! Mmmm. Dit leuke stel laat je meteen "thuis" voelen in Lagos.
Zelf gemaakte producten. En zeker ook de handgesneden frietjes met de eigen gemaakte mayonaise proeven.
Mijn vriendin is vegetarisch en ik niet. Maar beide hebben we super lekker gegeten.
Aanrader!!

Great veggie food served by friendly staff

I came to Estudio Vegetariano at lunchtime (I hadn't read the opening hours, my mistake) and stumbled upon this place next door. Lots of veggie and vegan options marked on the menu, and the (very friendly) chef was very willing to make changes and accommodate. I had the spinach/aubergine wrap and it was really nice, with fresh salad. The food did take a while, but it was cooked from scratch! I'd definitely recommend the Belgian fries (I was warned that the mayo was non-vegan though).

Pros: Lots of veggie/vegan options, Very friendly staff

Cool place, yummy food

I rarely get to hug the chefs haha but these owners were not only super fun and friendly but also very flexible with the food. Vegan options were already stated on the menu and with my diet and intolerances I rarely get to choose what I eat but the chef even wanted to know what I like and didn't. And the meal was still heavenly!! Not just for vegans. Thanks again guys!

Love, Anna

Pros: Delicious food, Cool n friendly staff, Close to city center

Cons: None

Lovely vegan dishes

I love this restaurant. My has gluten intolerance and I'm vegan. We asked the cook what we could eat and she prepared a special meal on the spot. This is how each restaurant should do it. More than five stars worth IMO

Pros: great vegan food, interior, friendly

Best Vegan

Super cool trendy Belgium couple opened this restaurant, we had a vegan menu deal with soup, the dish was fantastic! Great deal for the price and so much yummyness in one plate, I really really enjoyed finding this place! Recommend! This was the best meal ever! Would give a 5* but the happy cow only allowes for fully vegetarian restaurantsl

Pros: Excellente food, Friendly staff, Nice vibe
