LAGOS FOOD SESSIONS is a seven-day food experience built in the spirit of a festival,
but with restaurants as the headliners.
Created and produced by Travia - Wine & Food, the LAGOS FOOD SESSIONS are designed for people who want more from a food festival than just tasting-sized portions and cooking demonstrations.
The event features a highly curated group of local restaurants and suppliers, along with exciting imports from across the country. With day panels from thought leaders and industry pioneers, to food & cocktail experiences & workshops, LAGOS FOOD SESSIONS is as much about connecting with a community and getting inspired as it is about eating and being entertained.
May 21st - 29th 2022
Reservation for all events is mandatory as spaces are very limited. You can make your reservation by contacting us through the contact form and telling us in which events you would like to participate - all reservation requests will be analyzed by order of entry.
