Lagos · street food · everyday plates
Local street food, told honestly.
Breakfast, lunch and supper bought the way the city actually eats — off a tray, a grill, or the back of a bike. What it tastes like, what goes into it, and what it does for your body.
Eat by the hour
The day has a shape in Lagos, and so does the food.
Breakfast
15How the morning starts — pap, akara, plantain, yam, and whatever the corner is frying at 7am.
Lunch
36The midday plate. Rice, beans, swallow, fish — eaten hot, eaten fast.
Supper
15The evening meal, when the cooking slows down and the soup gets serious.
Snacks

Dessert
13Sweet endings, from eclairs to whatever the kiosk is selling cold.
Street Food
