I never thought my first chicken and waffles experience would be in Lagos but it was! My friend and I were driving around Lekki looking for food for about 20 minutes. We went over all the obvious options but nothing was calling us (if you know what I mean lol). That’s when I remembered I’d read about this place on Berry’s blog and Eat Drink Lagos and I thought – hey this will be something different. So off we wen’t to Mico’s and even though we got there 10 minutes past their closing time (8.10pm to be exact), the owner Michael was kind enough to open up his kitchen for us and let us get some takeaway.
Now, my first impression of this place is it’s tiny. And I don’t mean it in a bad way. It’s just not the kind of place where I’d personally want to eat in at because if there happened to be any other customers in at the same time as you, you’d probably be able to reach across and pick up a drumstick from their plate – no lie lol. I think they recognise that because I noticed they had a sign offering N150 discounts on takeaway.
My second thought was how incredibly reasonable the food was here’s a snapshot of their menu:
I ordered the Mico’s Special and my friend got the pancakes (side eye for ordering pancakes at a waffle house but anyway) our meal came in this cute box with our order, butter, syrup, cutlery – all surprisingly compact but everything was wrapped up in foil, so it didn’t make for the prettiest picture but if you’d like to know what it would’ve looked like all plated up check out the Berry Dakara or Eat Drink Lagos post:
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! Lol, it IS weird that your first time having chicken and waffles is in Nigeria.
