The Afrobeat, World’s First Afrobeats Tribute Restaurant Opens at EbonyLife Place
On Thursday 29 May 2025, EbonyLife Place will redefine the dining and cultural experience with the grand opening of The Afrobeat, a culinary sanctuary inspired by the spirit, rhythm, and soul of afrobeats music. Nestled in the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos, this groundbreaking restaurant is not merely a place to dine, but a living tribute to Africa’s most influential music genre.
At The Afrobeat, guests are invited to embark on a journey through the rich landscape of modern African cuisine, where each course—salad, soup, mains, and dessert—stands as a loving tribute to the bounty of the land, sourced from local farmers. The menu is a celebration of heritage, a harmonious fusion of traditional Nigerian flavours and diasporic influences.
As guests enter the space, they will be greeted with an ambience steeped in the essence of Africa. The vibe of afrobeats is summoned through memorabilia and music videos from iconic superstars, curated by Trace, an originator and promoter of the world-famous genre. Furniture adorned in warm hues of red clay and terracotta, textured walls of wood and mud, and Afro-futuristic chandeliers casting a soft glow. At one end of the room, a sculptured mask of an African king stands watch, a sentinel of identity and pride. At the other, an abstract mural comes alive, echoing the spirit of rhythm, rebellion, and renaissance.
In attendance will be legendary artistes, next-generation creators, cultural historians, and global figures, who have all helped to shape the afrobeats movement.
The Afrobeat is a reflection of who we are and what we value, said Mo Abudu, CEO of EbonyLife Place. This restaurant is a bold move to celebrate the culture, curate its story, and give it a home in the city where it was born.
