Hey guys!
Who else is excited that restaurants are now fully opened in Lagos after some months of lockdown due to the pandemic? This means that most restaurants and chill spots in Lagos will not just be offering pickups alone anymore. Still, they are now resumed to allowing customers to sit in comfortable premises to enjoy their sumptuous meals.
Speaking about sumptuous meals, we decided to unwind by visiting a cool restaurant in the mainland of Lagos. Yeah.. the MAINLAND of Lagos.
The most restaurant gets traction as a result of their catchy name, among our bucket list for restaurants in the mainland of Lagos, we found snail cafe at Abule Egba as our next stop.
As you must have probably presumed, Snail cafe is a restaurant where you get various types of snail recipes. But their service spans beyond that as they function as a restaurant with a total package.
Located in the heart of Merian community in Lagos, snail cafe is popular among the people living around the area. There are many things you will love about this place that we are about to reveal to you

Where is the Snail Cafe located?
Snail cafe-restaurant is located on the mainland of Lagos. The well-furnished restaurant is situated at 41, command Ajasa road, command, Lagos.
It is a very easy place to locate, but luck was not on our side as our driver took us around the whole of Abule-Egba before discovering the right path to the restaurant. Terrific!
The restaurant is designed with bright red and white colors and is directly built on the verge of the road. We expected this place to be too exposed and noisy as it was too close to the road. But fortunately, it sounds out that the interior of the snail cafe is built with a terrace that seems to be noise-proof.
What are the meals offered at Snail Cafe restaurant?
As with every other impressive restaurant, the snail cafe offers a wide range of local and foreign dishes. But significantly, they sell well-prepared snail in different recipe, shape, size, texture, and price.
They also offer chilled alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as smoothies. It is an all in one restaurant to have a nice time.
Food items like snacks, pastries, ice cream, and sauce can also be enjoyed at Snail cafe.
Their food is delicious, healthy, and well-served. We took our time to go through all the good stuff placed on the counter as well as asking the representing sales rep about each of the menus. We must also add that the workers were super attentive.
The food offered at the snail cafe restaurant is affordable and top-notch. Our team settled for a plate of Ofada rice, jumbo turkey, and a soft drink bottle. We also splurge on other cool stuff there as a take-home.

It was an interesting sight to behold. Super cool!

Any thumbs down on snail cafe restaurant?
Well, this is probably the section where we tend to frown a little. LOL. One thing we do not really like about snail cafe restaurant is the fact that they do not have a Menu card to present to customers upon arrival.
When we entered, we had to spend some time trying to figure out how orders are to be placed until we summoned a sales representative.
We think an ideal restaurant should have a detailed menu card as with other renowned restaurants we have been to. We believe this is something they can improve on soonest.
In addition to this is the seating space available in the restaurant. Perhaps, the building is not designed for many people, but with what we saw, you may have to go back home when you get there and meet the whole chairs occupied.
