Zebra Loves Food & Drinks - The Orchid Café and Bistro


Zebra loves The Orchid Café and Bistro.

The Orchid Café and Bistro is located on Isaac John in GRA, Lagos, Nigeria. It is an oasis of calm and warmth from the rigors of Lagos life. First impressions, the place looks really clean and fresh. It is quite small and cozy with bright lights enticing you in. The staff is super friendly and attentive and wait on your order. Proprietor, Dr Robert is also around most of the time and he extends that personal touch. If you want something that’s not on the menu, he’s willing to make it for you.

Go there for Sunday brunch with your girlfriends or lunch on a Saturday in between your shopping/visiting friends. The food is delicious, the drinks sublime and the atmosphere heavenly. I discovered The Bistro in the last week of my trip to Lagos and no lie I found myself there every day till I left. With a selection of other cakes and pastries, there is something for every taste. I simply cannot recommend it enough.

Zebra Tip: - Make sure to try the pancakes – so fluffy they literally melt in your mouth – with whipped cream, syrup and some fruit. Order the fruit shakes with a twist (ask for a side of vodka) – just enough to give you kick to carry you through the day. Go and enjoy it as soon as possible.
