Arribale

From the moment we arrived at Arribale, everything exceeded expectations. The food was exceptional — bold flavors and perfectly cooked. The service was attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance. The setting itself is stunning, creating a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Portugal.

Amazing freshly barbecued meat and seafood, cooked on a charcoal grill in the doorway. Short menu but good options. Small rustic ‘hole in the wall’ type place definitely requires a reservation as extremely good food and very popular. It’s just a few indoor tables and a couple of small terrace tables. We were a group of 4 adults and 3 kids they managed to seat with a reservation. Opens at 7pm for dinner. Run by a British guy who has lived in Lagos 25 years - he can explain menu and any dietary questions. No kids menu as such but any menu option can be accommodated at half price - ours had plain chicken breast and rice and were perfectly happy. We had 2x mixed grills between 4 adults and was best bbqed meat I’ve ever had.

We were recommended the grilled sea bass and it was absolutely amazing. Our waiters were so friendly and happy to make sure we were ordering just the right amount.

Highly recommend - we were just on a walk trying to find a place and stumbled upon this gem. Would dine here again next time we’re back in Lagos.

This restaurant was one of our favorite finds in Lagos. Tucked away in a quiet corner with a beautiful view of the beach, it felt both cozy and special. We had the ribeye steak and the catch of the day—absolutely full of flavor. The service was genuinely warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. We finished with a rich, gooey chocolate brownie that came with a surprise glass of port wine on the house—a perfect touch to end the meal. Can’t recommend this place enough for a relaxed, memorable evening. Call ahead to make a reservation to get a table outside.

Server was kind of rude but the owner was super cool. Food was fantastic and the restaurant itself is pretty unique, super small kind of feels like it was just carved out of the wall. Lamb chop and fish of the day (which I think was Sea bass) were phenomenal.
