Foodie Friday: Eating Out – What’s on My Plate

Let’s talk about food.

Last week, we celebrated our wedding anniversary at Dos Artistos in Lagos. On learning we were celebrating a special occasion, the restaurant added an extra special touch to the presentation of our creme brulee dessert. How sweet!

On Thursday, another trip to Lagos to see the Algarve Jazz Orchestra at the Cultural Centre provided the perfect opportunity to stop off at Quay Lagos to sample their ‘Pie and Pud’ offer. There were three or maybe four pies to choose from, and we both ordered the Steak and Guinness pie with fresh vegetables. The pie was packed with quality tender meat and served with delicious gravy and perfectly cooked vegetables. I am not a great fan of pies in restaurants because they are usually stingy with the meat, and the airy pastry sits on top of the dish like a hat. But this pie was deep-filled and had proper pastry! Mr Piglet commented they could not get another piece of meat in there if they tried.

The dessert was the yummiest lime cheesecake I’ve ever tasted! It was so yummy that I could eat it as a starter, main, and dessert.

I love dining out, and both restaurants offer incredible food and service.

My mouth is still watering just looking at this picture, which prompts me to dig out my favourite cheesecake recipe. Is it similar to Key lime pie?

That’s it for Foodie Friday for this week. I am late with the post because I thought it was Thursday.
