PitStop Patty<\/strong>
\nSo Detty December<\/em> is over – the \u201cdettiest<\/em>\u201d December in recent history. In my own opinion o! Actually, not just my opinion, I have data to back this up. Anyway, let\u2019s not get into all that now. Here\u2019s a quick situation report before I get into the patty of it. The IJGBs have all returned to their bases. Well, most of them. And the Christmas decor around the city is still being taken down, ever so slowly. Of course, ever so slowly. After all, December is the most wonderful time of the year. Who will blame us for wanting to keep the love and light around for as long as possible?!<\/p>\n

Anyway, away from the Christmas cheer and the love and light of it all, like clockwork, everyone complained about the length of January. Right after the \u201cdon\u2019t worry about my future<\/em>\u201d phase that is Detty December<\/em>, was the proverbial 90 days of January. But Mama, look at how we made it! We made it to the month of love!<\/p>\n

V-day is on a Monday, guys! And Lagos restaurants will be swarming with lovers looking to have romantic date nights and what have you? Still not sure where to go with your loved ones? Well, the other day, I made a \u201cPitstop\u201d at Pitstop. I did the heavy lifting so you can decide if you too will just make a Pitstop on V-day. So, here\u2019s the tea\u2026<\/p>\n

Name of Restaurant<\/strong>: PitStop Lagos.<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Victoria Island, Lagos – 92A Younis Bashorun Street, off Ajose Adeogun Street.<\/p>\n

Experience<\/strong>: This is one of those picturesque Lagos restaurants but with a twist to it. They have a whole healthy living, fitness\/cycling vibe going on. There are loads of bicycles all around the restaurant and as part of the decor as well. I hear there\u2019s a bicycle shop on the first floor of the restaurant, but I didn\u2019t get to go there. They also have a whole cycling community. If that\u2019s your vibe, you may want to check it out. In terms of parking, there is space for about 4 cars to park just by the gate of the restaurant. Once that is occupied, you have to park by the roadside, typical Victoria Island restaurant style.\u00a0They also have a nice outdoor space. If natural air and all that is your vibe, you may stay outside. The indoor space is also nice, spacious, and clean. The general atmosphere is casual and cosy.<\/p>\n

Menu<\/strong>: Well, we were a party of three and we had what they call the Sharing Platter,<\/em> which was basically grilled beef steak, jumbo prawns, half chicken, pork chops, jollof rice and roasted vegetables. We also had wings and fries. For drinks, I had a cocktail called Quick Release<\/em>, which was mainly vodka, sparkling prosecco, and tropical fruit. My friend had the Pitstop Zombie<\/em>, which was basically premium rum, coconut and cranberry. They also have healthy options on the menu and some meals for vegetarians as well.<\/p>\n

Recommended food\/drinks<\/strong>: Their wings and fries were good, so I recommend that. My cocktail was nice – Quick Release<\/em>, remember? It was good so you can try that out as well.<\/p>\n

Damage (Average cost to dine here): <\/strong>The platter we had was N20,000. My cocktail was 6,000. My friend\u2019s cocktails cost 4,500 each. And the wings and fries cost N2,800 or was it N3,800? Can\u2019t remember now. Anyway, the total damage was about N38,800 for the 3 of us. That\u2019s an average of N13,000 per person.<\/p>\n

General Comments<\/strong>:\u00a0You can definitely go here on a solo date. You can also go with a group of friends and with your family – definitely kid-friendly, although I went here on a Friday night and there were no kids there, obviously.<\/p>\n

Before I went to PitStop, I had heard many people swear by how their food is so good. I didn\u2019t have the best experience food-wise. Not bad really but definitely not enough for me to gush about it to someone else. We just sort of pegged it at what we ordered – the platter was so heavy on meat and what have you. It just wasn\u2019t giving what it was supposed to give. Get it? If you don\u2019t get it… Anyway, the wings and fries were good though.<\/p>\n

The managers (I think) were friendly and checked in on us a few times. The waiters were nice and friendly and maybe a bit too nice. Because\u2026tell me why I was talking to my friend about a double debit I got when I paid for a meal at another restaurant we visited in December, and the waiter butts in to find out more about the so-called double debit?<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, did you pay through POS<\/em>\u201d?
\nIn my mind, I was like \u201cFam, if you don\u2019t get the\u2026\u201d!
\n<\/em>
\nSo rude! What was he going to do about it anyway? Help me talk to the bank? I actually don\u2019t mind, at this stage because I need my money back ahh. Since December o! Anyway, I digressed. Back to the matter.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>: Will I go back to Pitstop? Will I recommend it? Hmmm, I don\u2019t mind going back here but I guess I just have to be a bit more careful in selecting what to have. So yes, I will still recommend this place! Although let me not lie to you, this place does not scream romance.<\/p>\n

But if casual and a little bit of cosy is your thing, you may consider going here for V-day.<\/p>\n

SideBar<\/strong>: \u201cIf music be the food of love, then play on<\/em>\u201d. If for some reason, after your date on V-day, you want to keep the fire burning, you can turn on some good music on the drive back home! Here are a few recommendations on love songs to play: Make you Mine<\/em> by PUBLIC; Rather Be<\/em> by Clean Bandit; Nine Million Bicycles<\/em> by Katie Melua; Make you Happy<\/em> by Celine Dion; and of course, Hrs and Hrs<\/em> by Muni Long!<\/p>\n

Happy Love Month, people!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
