"It’s impossible for a lunch at Ikoyi to last less than two hours. Which is what makes it perfect for the kind of table-to-sofa meal you’re after. A 2.5-hour, fine dining tasting menu at this West African-inspired spot on the Strand ages like the fine wines on their list. Expect things like the chicken and mushroom broth with a brilliant, intensely floral squeeze of peppercorn oil, and the signature smoked jollof rice covered in a luscious umami blanket of lobster custard." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
