Service very slow and not attentive. Restaurant uncomfortably hot and we had to repeatedly ask for AC to be turned on. Appetizers were quite good but main courses were not

Our best meal since arriving in Lagos. The food was super tasty (we shared numerous tapas dishes, pork truffles were a highlight) and a great wine list also… recommend the white Douro. I was impressed at how professional and attentive all the staff were, they clearly all take pride in delivering the best service possible which made a great experience all round.

A short walk out of the old town and not your typical tourist restaurant, the food here is superb. Well worth a visit.

Located Outside the tourist district but deserves to be highly recognized. Food was delicious and beautifully presented from appetizers to main dishes. We had the fried squid strips, pork truffle balls, black squid linguine with shrimp and pork belly . All were amazing. Service was great as well.

Just outside the Old Town wall and walking there is easy. Delicious Tapas type items with traditional Portuguese flavors and very worth the visit. I'll definitely go back.

We learnt from our waiter that Tasca means pretty much like “a hole in the wall “ in Portuguese and Jota means J. It was a delightful dinning experience for me and my wife. The food was fresh and tasty, and the presentation was fabulous. Worth two glasses of wine, we only paid about 50 euros. Highly recommend to anyone who visits Lagos!

Always the next level. Never fails. Brought my friends for a golf trip to Lagos instead of usual family and told them we need to eat at Tasca. I received so many compliments after the meal. The compliments should be with the hosts and chefs. Always an amazing experience
