Celebrating a special occasion has never been easier than this November, when you can take that someone special out for a culinary experience that won’t soon be forgotten.

Exclusively available to Mastercard cardholders, people in Lagos can go to one of the 33 participating restaurants and request the special menu on offer. Alternatively reservations can be made via Lost in Lagos website, or directly through the restaurant of choice.

“People in Lagos enjoy dining out, and this initiative reinforces that the city has so much great talent in the industry.

To further add to the excitement this year, Lost in Lagos is introducing the Mastercard Restaurant Week – Best Performing Restaurant Award which will go to the restaurant with the most visitors during the three weeks coupled with positive reviews. Awards will also be given to the best three waiters who distinguish themselves as providing exemplary customer service.

“Tourism is important to the growth of Lagos, and Nigeria as a whole. Local people, and those visiting our dynamic city often don’t see Lagos as a dining destination and we wanted to change this perception by creating the Mastercard Restaurant Week.  It gives people the chance to experience something new, while taking in all the delicious tastes offered by the talented chefs at the various restaurants,” said Omokehinde Adebanjo, Vice President and Area Business Head of West Africa at Mastercard.
