Danfo Bistro

4 Efe Ikharo - 6 months ago

Danfo bistro, located on Alexander Rd, inner Ikoyi. If you like aesthetics that thrives on sustainability, then this is your place. With a mix-match of items you wouldn't think about, like a door used as a table, a danfo(commercial bus in Lagos)used as a bar, e.t.c. They all come together to give danfo bistro a unique feel. With the roof-top location, allowing for enough circulation of fresh air, it's a breezy affair at night.
As regards the food, I would suggest you go for the local dishes, as that's their forte.

When you talk about spots you wonder how they exist, this outdoor pub takes the cake.

The service here is horrible. The waitstaff were slow to respond at every single call either to be serviced, to refresh an order or to pay.

This bar gets 2 stars only because the makeup of the bar in creating a danfo themed bar is quite refreshing. It is situated on a rooftop of a shopping complex so you can avail yourself to really cool breeze and atmosphere.

This place caters more to people with poor taste in music and the entire night I wondered if the music would be more uplifting and jivvy. Got to say though that there was a ton of white skinned foreigners here so the music seems more themed to their taste.

The food and drink here is ????. I had the worst tasting mixture of cocktail I have ever had and the chicken was so underspiced and tasteless I left a chunk in the plate.

The price fits in nicely with what obtains in that environment so you won't be breaking the bank but nothing here is worth it if you looking for a good time in the evening.

Danfo Bistro is refreshingly original in its aesthetics and menu offerings.

Tucked neatly off Alexander Road in the gilded Ikoyi area of Lagos, it is an impressive representation of Nigerian cuisine and art fusion.

Cleverly constructed with container sections, set on two floors, the property is a bit narrow and rectangular but well executed.

The first floor has the indoor restaurant cum lounge setting, while the second and uppermost floor had the outdoor area with the converted danfo bus bar which lends this artistic splendor its appellation.

With a vast menu (lots of meat and bread-combo options mirroring popular street foods but packaged upscale restaurant style) variety of drinks (you won’t see beer in the drinks menu but Heineken and Budweiser are available) and visually appealing decor, it was no surprise seeing that the place was bustling with customers on a Wednesday evening. One can only imagine what weekends will be like.

Service is good: cheerful and attentive staff dressed a tad flamboyantly with catchy phrases behind their tops ????

My order for plantain meat and gizzard skewers, and fried chicken with rodo sauce (spiciest chilli sauce I have ever tasted) were well prepared but had a rather poor value point. Like most places in VI/Ikoyi/Lekki, it is relatively pricey but the beer price was comparatively great at just N1,333.

Only downsides for me: the air conditioning in the lounge was not good enough - one section was chilled and other sections warm, plus there are only two toilets - one male and one female (thus you can expect a queue), albeit the place lacks ample space for more. Worse still, the toilets lacked running water at the time.

Highly recommended as a great option to relax alone or with company.

They have one point down because it is not disability friendly (and I'm on a mission to find places that are disability friendly)

But I like the Nigerian pasta u0026 banana island cocktail I ordered

Babe had a cup of hot cappuccino which wasn't quite hot u0026 the manager was kind enough to replace with a cup of fresh juice

For that they won my heart u0026 I'd definitely come again????

Nice laid-back setting in a seemingly containerized structure and lovely decor within. Good food with a local Lagos slant. So if you're looking for local food in Ikoyi you need look no further.
