It seems almost everyone in Lagos and their mums are now into the fitness lifestyle, and can we blame them? If you already are trying Vegan meals or love to explore a new diet, this article might do you some good.
The plant-based scene in Lagos is quietly growing, and it’s amazing. We’ve been on a mini quest to find some gems, and stumbled upon some places you’d love! So, let’s talk about our little adventure through the plant-based corners of Lagos.
Veggie Victory
First stop, the OG of vegan cuisine in Lagos: Veggie Victory! This place has been holding it down for a while now, and it’s one of those spots you go to if you want to experience vegan food with that Naija twist.
Imagine ordering a vegan version of suya – yes, VEGAN SUYA. I couldn’t believe it either! The flavours? Insane! They also have vegan burgers and jollof rice, so you know it’s legit.
Prices are pretty decent here, too.
You can get a full meal for around ₦10,000 to ₦20,000, depending on how fancy you’re feeling. And it’s in Ikoyi, so you get that bougie energy without completely emptying your wallet.

Michele’s Vegan Kitchen – Takeout Only

Okay, Michele’s Vegan Kitchen is another gem, but here’s the twist – it’s takeout only! I was a little bummed at first because I love sitting down in a cozy café with my food, but it was so worth it. They have these amazing cashew cheese dishes, wraps, and smoothies that are perfect if you just want to grab something healthy and delicious to go. Prices here are around ₦10,000 to ₦15,000, but trust me, the portions are generous, and the food is super fresh.

Orchid House

If you’re in the mood for something fancy, Orchid House in Victoria Island is your spot. The setting is like this tropical, lush escape with chill vibes. They don’t have a purely vegan menu, but they have quite a few vegan-friendly options. I had this mouthwatering quinoa salad and a coconut-based curry that I still dream about. And the drinks? They have the freshest juices and smoothies – like perfect for a Lagos heatwave day. It’s on the higher end, though. You’re looking at around ₦30,000 to ₦45,000 per person.

Thai Thai

Now, let me tell you about Thai Thai – a little unexpected find for me. It’s a Thai restaurant with a bunch of vegan options. The curries, spring rolls, and tofu dishes are bomb. And their coconut milk soup (Tom Kha) is the stuff of vegan dreams. The flavours are intense but fresh – just how Thai food should be.
