If you’ve lived in Lagos, even for a week, you’ll know that the city has opened up to an influx of new eateries that either specialize in steak, or which have made it a signature dish. And as much as we all love to “eat healthy”, you just can’t beat meat that’s done right.
Slow-cooked, smoked, barbecued and pulled, broiled and soaked in some rich sauce or served on the bone, meat is well and truly my favorite thing, well, ever.
So, for all you readers that love steak, here are 5 must-go places to get your meat fix in Lagos right now! Vegetarians, beware.
5 Restaurants In Lagos That Serve Amazing Steak.
1.Vellvett Lounge & Bar
Vellvett Lounge & Bar is at 19b, Idejo Street, Victoria Island. They serve amazing steak. Their steaks are usually soaked in some otherworldly bacon. Don’t think about going near this place if you have plans to stay true to your diet.
On a less apocalyptic note, the service is consistently pleasant with timely delivery of orders and friendly staff. And the menu is as diverse as they come with Lebanese, Italian and your no holds barred steak-y goodness.

2. The Grill “Steak House”
The Grill Steak House, located at Eko Hotel, Adetokunbo Ademola Street, Victoria Island, offers some of the finest meat in Lagos. Tender, sauteed, grilled, you name it, they have it. They also have the nicest staff.
I recommend that you try the South African tenderloin steak cooked medium rare and a bottle of Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir.

3. Talindo Steak House
At Talindo steak house, your side servings get almost as much props as your main dish.Alongside their amazing steaks, Talindo offers some really interesting cocktails. Their menu also includes seafood, chicken and desserts like Apple pie.
Their Surf and Turf dish is really nice. There’s also an open-air grill, and live music on weekends.

4. Bar Campione
You can also get steak at Bar Campione which is located at 13 Kasumu Ekemode Street, Victoria Island.
This restaurant combines ambiance, Italian cuisine and imported steaks in a world class atmosphere. They must also really love sports because most of their cocktails are named after sports legends.
And they also have sports memorabilia on their walls, along with the 12 large screen HDTVs to watch the big Premiership/La Liga games.

5. Prive Restaurant
Prive restaurant is a new restaurant at 5B Karimu Kotun, off Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island. It’s one of the finest restaurants in Lagos.
The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The steaks are equally top notch. Plus, there’s a rooftop terrace with a brilliant view, complete with cabanas and a dedicated bar.
There’s usually a DJ thumping out good rhythms in the background – not too loud, not too low.
