If there is one thing Lagos understands, it is food in excess served as a buffet. The kind where you sit down and start calculating how many plates you still have capacity for.
Buffet is not about being confused about what to order. It is about varieties. The urge to crave jollof rice, pasta, grilled chicken, pepper soup, and a small dessert on the same plate with nobody to question you. That is the point.
The good thing now is that buffet in Lagos is no longer only for hotel guests or “special occasions.” There are now weekly buffet spots spread across different parts of the city and different budgets, so you can literally plan your food life around them if you want to.
