We had such a great experience here! On our first visit, we absolutely loved the appetizer — the shrimps in that incredibly flavorful sauce were unforgettable! 😋😋😋 They were so good that we couldn’t stop thinking about them and decided to come back on Valentine’s Day to try the special menu.

It did not disappoint. Everything was beautifully decorated and although it was more crowded, the atmosphere still felt special. The service was warm and welcoming, just like the first time.

We’re really happy we discovered this spot in Lagos and will definitely be coming back again!

Bruna provided excellent service and offered wine suggestions without pressure. She’s professional, cheerful and knowledgeable.

The rest of the staff was also professional, lovely and friendly.

Great food, price and ambiance.

Azimute in Lagos was one of two standout restaurants we visited the city, offering a fantastic selection of Portuguese food and wine, fab service, all in a really nice location with a really welcoming vibe. It's somewhere I can highly recommend!

Azimute itself has outdoor and indoor seating, and we were sat inside when we visited. It's a small and cosy space, and from where we were we could see the bar (made up of boxes from various Portuguese wineries) and also the small kitchen where everything was cooked. The vibe of the place was great - it was busy when we visited but no one was rushed, and our waiter on the night was fantastic too (and joked that everything in the restaurant was Portuguese except himself, as he was actually born in Birmingham!). We visited a tad early for dinner compared to your usual dinner time in Europe, and during the week - if you did want to visit at 'peak' time or the weekend, it might be worth booking.

As for the food - it was really well cooked and very tasty. The menu is relatively small (which is no bad thing, as it means they cook what they're good at), and full of Portuguese meals. When we visited, we tried the seafood xerem and grilled laghartinos. Both meals were fantastic, and the laghartinos were grilled and cooked to perfection - really lovely, tender meat from the ribs. My partner has the seafood xerém and had only positive things to say.

The wine selection was good too, and we decided to go on the sparkling wine on the night - our waiter let us know of a slightly more expensive bottle (a few Euro) they had recently got specially in which he recommended, and so we went for that instead and it was a great accompanying drink to the meal (unfortunately I've since forgotten exactly what it was!).

The meal was on the slightly more expensive side of some restaurants in Lagos, but given the quality, level of service, and just in general how good the food and experience was, this was well worth it!

Our favorite restaurant in the city, but you should definitely show up with a reservation, otherwise you'll find yourself in a queue... like us. But waiting was totally worth it, food was amazing, staff was super nice and fun.
We had the octopus and tuna, both were great choices.
