La Saison

La Saison
42,Raymond Njoku,
Off Awolowo Road,
South West Ikoyi,
Lagos.


I originally live in Ikeja. Like around Allen Avenue which is a great place to live if you like constant hustle and bustle. Its not quiet at all but for a few months now Ive been in Ikoyi, south west Ikoyi. Quiet is an understatement.

What the Island has over the mainland for me are places you can hangout or just chill during the day. I especially love this place called La Saison and its a walking distance from my house. i had heard about it a while ago when a friend of mine was raving about how absolutely mad she thought the place was. I didnt get to it till early this year when I had lunch there and absolutely fell n love with the place.

La Saison is french for 'the season'. The decor is eclectic combining african with contemporary pieces. Also they have cofee beans in jars with cinnamon sticks and the aroma is lovely. Its a corner piece on Raymond Njoku,off Awolowo road Ikoyi. Downstairs is where the cafe is.There is also free Wi-fi that,s very fast, pastries, out of heaven cakes, smoothies, blah blah blah..I could go on and on. The menu has a great mix of African dishes like jollof rice with dodo and chicken stew called 'Baby na you' and many more!

Ive had breakfast lunch and dinner here and I have never been disappointed. Their service is prompt, food is always delicious and the air conditioning works in overdrive. Its a really classy modern day cafe.

Check out their website http://www.lesaisonlagos.com/ for pictures more information on reservations,menu etc.

Here are some of the pictures i took of the place ( I'm no Kelechi Amadi and its an lg viewty so....)
