Hey there! It's been sooooo long since I did a food review but I went to a new restaurant on Friday and thought "why not?"
Due (pronounced dooh-eh) is a little cute restaurant on Adetokunbo Ademola in the Samantha Bistro family. It had a test run for a month before it opened officially on Thursday. It's divided into a cafe area and a restaurant area.
Cute, no?
High chairs are cute, but they are certainly not made for you to hang around for hours
I don't know if it's because they just opened, but there was a limited menu, nothing else for it but to crack open a bottle of wine and try to decide.
I love handwritten menus, spelling and all
We asked if they had any starters and they had chicken wings, so we ordered those blind.
Since we ordered blind, I can't say what was in or on the chicken wings. I wasn't a big fan but I don't know that I can tell you why, maybe because it was fried and I don't like fried chicken?
poached fish and mash
It also came with sweet potato fries
The poached fish was poached perfectly- it wasn't overcooked or over flavoured and the sauce it came with was very tasty. The mash was very homemade tasting (but like I make a good homemade mash, so that's not a bad thing). Sweet potato fries were an alternative to the mash, but I don't think sweet potatoes that aren't orange go with anything, my friend loved her fries though.
We asked if they had dessert and surprise- they did! The menu was turning out to be full of random surprises. We had one each but I think its the perfect size for sharing- the cream had orange in it, which made it taste a lot more exciting.
We were pretty brave ordering from a menu with no prices, but in the end it was pretty average. Everything was between N1500 and N4000 (except the wine).
Due is at 35a Adetokunbo Ademola, Victoria Island (small black gate between Tantalisers and Chase Mall) and the entrance is up some stairs at the back of the building.
