For those looking to touch upon the Lagosian arts and culture scene Terra Kulture is an excellent starting point. Terra Kulture is really a cultural centre combining Art gallery, bookshop, reading room, restaurant, terrace and outside performance space. It’s an eye-catching blend of local woods, craftsmanship and interior design dominated by a curved walkway providing access to the gallery on the first floor. This gallery curates a space for many up and coming local artists and many of the paintings and sculptures are for sale. The bookshop on the ground floor stocks predominantly Nigerian literature but there is also a range of European magazines and a small range of souvenirs and gift cards. As you would expect in a cultural centre, food is strictly Nigerian. Alongside Yellow Chili it offers some of the best and most accessible Nigerian food around, especially for those concerned about trying the numerous ‘food is ready’ and suya stalls on the streets. There is a good range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails on offer, including the tongue in cheek ‘Go slow’ a reference to Lagos’ notorious traffic jams. With the most expensive dish on the menu coming in at only N2500 its also excellent value. For those looking for something other than the plethora of pizza pasta burger joints, or looking to try Nigeria’s underrated cuisine whilst absorbing some of the music and culture that make the city famous, Terra Kulture is a great starting point.
