We had been trying to find this place for a while and eventually did. To be honest we had a nice meal but not the special one the reviews had led us to believe. The food was nicely cooked and flavoured but fairly limited in what was on offer as we would have preferred maybe more than one fish option.... More

We did not book just were lucky to get in I guess. We had a table in the outer alcove which was perfect. The waiter (english ) was friendly and professional pointing out a good white wine and explained that most mains were cooked on the grill, I had the fish of the day on the grill just amazing and...

Had a nice meal at Arribale although they were very busy and this affected the service. The place however is really unique and worth a visit if you are in Lagos and want to experience something different from the norm.

Amazingly helpful staff made this delicious meal in a beautiful restaurant superb. It is decorated with naval memorabilia and cosy corners next to hand-painted tiles give a great atmosphere. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. My boyfriend had the flaming salami which was entertaining. I had the vegetarian dish of the day which was delicious. I wasn't overly impressed...

After walking for 1 hour past countless average looking restaurants we came across Arribale. The place itself is amazing, set in a building dating back 500 years behind the old sea wall and decorated in a nautical theme. The food was faultless and cooked to perfection. I'm a big fan of seafood and I've ate at some amazing restaurants around... More

Slightly difficult to find though very close to town. Service was firgood and very welcoming. Agree with other contributors in that the restaurant is very small and quaint, if in need of a little TLC. The mixed tapas starter was good (especially the cheese). However, the main course was rather bland. I had a steak and my wife had the... More

Just when we had given up trying to find this restaurant, we arrived at it! It's located away from and parallel to one of the main tourist streets, on a high, narrow laneway with a great view of the bay (if you ignore the construction works just below it!) and the restaurant is in a long narrow room with cooking...

Delightful service & excellent food. The fresh fish was truly fresh & very well cooked on the BBQ. House wine was also very good. Restaurant itself is very small & quaint, if in need of a paint job, so booking is essential. Overall very good value & a fun place to go.

We ate here on our second last night of our holiday having found it on trip advisor. We were very lucky to get in as it was booked for the night but they managed to fit us in having moved a table round. The restaurant only has 6 or 7 tables so I would recommend booking. All of the food... More
