10 Best Restaurants in Victoria Island You Need to Try

Victoria Island has long been the epicentre of Lagos' dining scene, and 2026 is shaping up to be its best year yet. Whether you're after a power lunch or a romantic dinner, VI has you covered. At the top of our list is NOK by Alara, which continues to redefine modern Nigerian cuisine with dishes like their signature jollof risotto and suya-spiced lamb chops. The ambience alone — a blend of contemporary African art and lush greenery — makes it worth the visit. For seafood lovers, The Lighthouse on Admiralty Way remains unmatched. Their grilled lobster with yam purée has become legendary, and the sunset views over the lagoon are the perfect backdrop for any meal. If you're looking for something more casual but equally impressive, Craft Gourmet on Akin Adesola has built a devoted following for their wood-fired pizzas and artisanal cocktails. The weekend brunch menu is particularly outstanding. Other must-visits include Sky Restaurant & Lounge for their pan-Asian fusion, Bottles for wine pairing dinners, and the newly opened Terra by Sola for farm-to-table Nigerian dishes. Don't sleep on the street food either — the suya spot near Bar Beach has been there for decades and still serves some of the best you'll find anywhere in Lagos. Whether you're a longtime VI regular or visiting for the first time, these restaurants represent the best of what Lagos' culinary scene has to offer.
