La Veranda Italian Cuisine — Restaurant in Lagos State

We found this restaurant on Google and we went in twice with my family. On our fist visit, we meet chef Bernard after a delicious meal, and we decide to repeat the second day, but to my surprise after ordering for a beef rib steak the chef brought me a pork rib plate, I turned it back and he assured me of changing it and the second time he brought again the pork ribs. I’m a meat lover & cooker so I knew what I had in front of me, but he assured me twice that he cooked the beef ribs. The difference was clear as the day before I ordered for the same plate and it’s was quiere different, so he lied that it’s a baby ribs from South Africa, you can google the difference in both steak bones and pork bones, but he took me for a fool, I greeted him and eat it, because it was already late, we got to the restaurant at 10.38.pm. So After 2 trails I did eat it because it was late and I was hungry..my wife is witness as she also tested it. So people be careful of this Chef Bernard .. if you go there, make sure you know what they are giving you to eat there. They could be cooking something else there. Because he lied to my face twice. At first he apologized that they haces mixed the beef ribs with the pork ribs in the same box but it was a lie. And I told Raymond the waitress that attended to us, that he gave me what I dint order and did it twice. He could have told me they don’t have it and I would have other for something else .. this is bad for my people .. I imagine what he will have cooked for people who doesn’t know much about meat . Please be careful when you go to this restaurant, the pasta is good. But be careful of the meat. Please see the image below, on our first visit he cooked the first image and on the second one show pork ribs. Thank you and stay blessed. We will definitely not go back...

Have been coming here for years and there is a reason for this. The staff is consistently kind and willing to serve. Probably the best customer service that exists in Nigeria is La Veranda. Unfortunately customer service is not a “thing” in Nigeria, and if you have a problem with anything at a business, then all you might get is a sorry, but forget your hopes of actually fixing the problem.

But that is where La Veranda wins. They’re not money-grubbing, because they know that good service will keep you loyal. It obviously worked on me.

Now onto the FOOD. It is actually delicious. I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s consistently delicious. Best pizza I’ve had outside of New York, and the BEST risotto I’ve actually ever had in my life has come from La Veranda. (Oh and just as an added treat, try the divine Pineapple Rice from the The Wok downstairs. Thank me later).

The staff of La Veranda, even the Chef! sincerely care about your satisfaction and well-being, and will cater to you if you’re not happy with something. This might be because the staff are treated well by the owners and managers, making them kind and caring in return to customers.

Highly highly...

I've never eaten Carbonara and Lasagne in Nigeria that's as tasty as the one I had here today. The food was amazing!!! I had the lasagne and my friend got carbonara but we tried each other's food and loved it. If you like pasta dishes this is the place to go. Seems like it's a hidden treasure though. From the streets there's no sign pointing you to the restaurant...probably because it's inside the Blowfish Hotel...Like you literally have to walk through the hotel's reception to the pool area. The decor was also very well thought out. From the wall papers to the cutlery; from the blue check napkins to the open fire place, everything came together and gave off an amazing ambience. I only drank water so I'd go back and try the cocktails on a non-work night. Very pocket friendly as well. Definitely...
