Nice place tucked away from the beaten track. Will be nice in warmer weather when sat outside. Food was good but some flavour combinations weren’t great. Not enough salty cheese to balance with the sweet fig in the salad. The confit tomato and grilled peach needed something salty/citrus to balance the flavours as it was too sweet again. The soft shell crab flavours were good but too much doughy batter on the crab- lighter tempura batter would have been better with the delicate crab. Chorizo, peas and squid dish was good. Lovely couvert featuring a delicious cheese/jalepeno muffin. Admire the chef for experimenting with new flavour combinations.
OLI wine&dineThank you for your detailed reflections. We’re pleased you appreciated the setting and elements of the experience, particularly the couvert. Our menu is guided by a deliberate exploration of contrast, balance, and seasonality, which may present differently across individual palates. We value your perspective and look forward to welcoming you again.

Though not in the centre of Lagos, this place is well worth a visit. Really friendly and efficient staff, a modern comfortable room and great food. The starters particularly were delicious - I would gladly order them all. Good wine selection as well.
OLI wine&dineThank you, Dermot, for your kind words. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, our wine selection, and the service. It’s wonderful to know the starters were a highlight! We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

After spending some time researching where to go for dinner in Lagos we settled on here because of the positive reviews, as well as the photos of the food. When booking, I mentioned that my daughter has a nut allergy, and received an email from the restaurant the next day outlining that they couldn’t guarantee the kitchen would be nut free, which was completely understandable, but showed a level of care and commitment to looking after their customers that they took the time to email me. As for dinner itself, the food was outstanding, with the sharing dish of skirt steak being the best steaks we’ve ever eaten. Overall, I would highly recommend Oli wine and dine, and would go back in a heartbeat.
OLI wine&dineThank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad that you felt cared for and that the special attention regarding your daughter’s allergy made a difference. It’s wonderful to hear that the skirt steak and the rest of your dinner left such a strong impression. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable evening.

A small and interesting menu. For me, the wines were the winner - well chosen, interesting and a break from the usual.
OLI wine&dineThank you for your kind words about our menu and wine selection. We’re glad you enjoyed these aspects of your visit! We noticed the overall score was a bit lower than we expected given your positive comments—if there’s anything we can do to make your next experience even better, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We’d love the chance to exceed your expectations.

This is a simple and comfortable place with creative and delicious food. We were well served and tried many different dishes that stood out from the general specialities found in the region. There is fusion of Brazilian and Portuguese themes for many of the options that really bring one’s tastebuds to life.
OLI wine&dineHi Stella, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re really happy to hear you felt comfortable and enjoyed the creativity in our dishes. It’s great that you tried a variety — we love putting thought into offering something a little different, so it means a lot to know it stood out to you. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to see you again soon!

We were warmly greeted and immediately seated. Interesting menu that takes in many different cuisines in a tasty amalgamation of offerings. Owner was very personable and went to great lengths to explain how many dishes were prepared. Visit this restaurant – only one year-old, before it really takes off. It’s definitely headed for great things!
OLI wine&dineHi Penelope, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re really happy to hear that you felt at home from the moment you arrived. We love experimenting with different flavours and influences in the kitchen, so it’s great to know the variety on the menu hit the mark for you. It was a real pleasure having you with us — and we hope to welcome you back soon for another round of good food and good company. All the best,

Excellent food. Tasty couvert followed by the sharing platter of flank steak. Large portion- beautifully cooked. Lovely Bossa Nova duo added to the atmosphere.
OLI wine&dineHi Helen, it’s always a pleasure to have you with us! We’re thrilled to hear that your meal was exactly what you were hoping for. It’s great to know that the steak and our ambiance helped make your experience special. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you again soon!

It was really good! One thing I have to point out is that the lasagna, even though the taste was really good, it was not a lasagna. It was literally a whole sliced zucchini in a tomato soup with cheese. Which again, tastes good but if you are expecting a lasagna you will be veeery disappointed. Also it is a lot for one person so not much enjoyable. That said the couvert is insanely good! The smoked oil, focaccia and garlic butter are amazing
OLI wine&dineHi Sonia, thank you so much for your feedback! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the flavours, especially the couvert—we agree, the smoked oil and garlic butter are a highlight! We just wanted to clarify that our lasagna is a vegan version, which is why we use thinly sliced courgettes in place of traditional pasta sheets. It's a lighter, plant-based take on the classic dish, and we try to reflect that in the menu description. We’ll take your comments on portion size and expectations into consideration—thank you again for sharing your thoughts!

Simply enjoy good food. And finish with a cheesecake.
OLI wine&dineThat sounds like the perfect plan! Great food is always our focus, and there's nothing better than finishing with a slice of cheesecake. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to enjoy more delicious dishes and sweet treats!

Menu was poor not properly balanced, two choices of dessert apple crumble or ice cream was atrocious on a Friday evening. No atmosphere in a quiet restaurant run by poor front of house. Extremely disappointing for a new restaurant.
OLI wine&dineDear Kay, I was sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with us as this is not the aim of the restaurant and team. I have tried to reach out to you via email to understand some your points but have not heard back yet. Whenever you feel unhappy about any part of your experience, I would always recommend speaking to the team so that we have a chance to turn it around. We did have a menu change, which is why the menu, which was advertised, was slightly altered, so I apologize if this was slightly unbalanced. I am happy to say that our new menu is up and running, and can be found on our website. We will be adding specials from next week to ensure we take full advantage of seasonal ingredients. I do hope to welcome you back to our restaurant in the future. Have a great day!

Really good food and exceptional service. Good wine too. Our starters of two hot tapas were lovely followed by steak with a really good pepper sauce and lots of chargrilled veg. Recommended

Nice tapas selection, something for everyone. Some offerings slightly over-salted. Enjoyable staff. We liked each of the three red wines available by the glass.
OLI wine&dineDear John, Thanks for visiting us. I was sorry to hear that some of the food was slightly over-salted. Don't hesitate to speak to us if something is not up to par as we do our best to ensure people have a top experience with us. Hope to welcome you back soon to try some more wines!

Great food, great staff and based on our experience a very passionate and talented chef. A great find nestled just out of Lagos town, near the Swinging Ball roundabout. The food is exceptional value, plentiful and all of the plates we sampled delicious, plus we couldn’t help but notice the other food being served looked fantastic especially the sharer steak dish!!! Next time…. The owner is very proud and passionate about his new venture. If you are in Lagos and appreciate great food in a lovely environment with excellent staff then this place is a must, make the effort and venture out of town to this great little restaurant.
OLI wine&dineDear Paul, Thanks for these kind words. Chef Felipe is very passionate and proud of what he does, and we are definitely happy that he is part of our journey. Hope to see you again soon!

The owner served us and was very informative about the food choices and wine pairings. Was not crowded at all as it is away from the real touristy part of Lagos. Food was great and every was very friendly. Would definitely recommend

Some of the ingredients were not fresh (shrimps), medium rare meat came medium cooked, burger was excellent! Friendly staff but need to work on smooth running the tables
OLI wine&dineDear Geraldine, Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on your visit. I am a little bit surprised that after I originally contacted you to understand what went wrong during your visit (as you only left a score) and we had an email exchange, you went back to fill in these comments. I am sorry that the meat was not cooked as requested. Should we have known at the time that your steak was slightly overcooked, we would have fired up a new one immediately. I am happy that you enjoyed the burger. On top of daily deliveries, the chef goes to the market on a daily basis to ensure that our produce are fresh. In most restaurants, prawns are delivered frozen as this is done to ensure the quality stays consistent. We have stringent guidelines on defrosting and dating of produce. I am sorry that the prawns were not too your liking and if we would have known, we would have done everything to make you happy. We do hope that you will come and try us again. Have a nice holiday!

We had a lovely meal today at Oli wine and dine. Staff were attentive and the service was excellent. All the food was delicious and fresh. They have a great choice of tapas but we chose to share the Octopus seafood rice for 2 which was amazingly tasty and full of prawns,mussels,clams and octopus.
OLI wine&dineDear Alistair, Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. We are so pleased that you had a fabulous experience with us. The Octopus has been one of our top sellers, so we are happy that you enjoyed it. Come see us again as we have many more delicious dishes to discover.

Great service. We had bom bom shared meat and vegetable platter for two which was excellent. Desserts were also very good, lemon meringue cheesecake and apple crumble. Prosecco sangria was very refreshing. Overall a lovely meal
OLI wine&dineDear Eileen, we are so please that you enjoyed the BomBom and desserts. The cheesecake is actually one of my favourites too. Try our new chocolate tart on your next visit as this is scrumptious. Have a nice holiday!
