Ikoyi

Set in a glass-fronted space in a sleek, somewhat corporate development, Ikoyi, a Michelin-starred newcomer, feels surprisingly homey. The interiors are by Sophie Ashby, a rising design-scene star who’s softened the dining room with earthenware lights and richly grained elm tables. Lush foliage and slouchy, mustard-yellow banquettes add to the effect. The playlist is controlled by the chefs; on a recent visit, it ranged from GZA to Led Zeppelin. In short, the restaurant is elegantly unpredictable—which all makes sense when you see the menu.
