Barcelos, Adeniran Ogunsanya St, Surulere

Barcelos, surulere, one of the best fast food restaurants in Lagos The food is brilliant, and the prices are OK at this Barcelos outlet. ?What its Adeniran Ogunsanya location lacks in silence, it makes up for with its relaxed internal ambience. The fries, pastries and burgers are worth trying out, and the staff service is prompt and courteous.

If you don't mind being surrounded by proud parents and cool high school kids, then this is a nice hangout spot with some nice food.
