Oliver's Café - Ibadan

Oliver's cafe was a pleasant surprise, the meals are inexpensive, the bar has a variety of cocktails, the staff were amazing, the ambience of the restaurant was just perfect. I like the design overall

Oliver’s cafe is divided into three parts; the outside which is the bar/football viewing space, inside for private meetings/work space and the lounge for drinkers/football lovers. Their yam/egg is heavenly and impossible to finish, pancakes are the best and their dodo and egg is not so bad. Oliver’s is quite cheap for their location and ambience. The English breakfast in the last frame costs just #1,200 plus #300 for a huge kettle of tea. However their services can be really slow and their staff aren’t properly trained for the job.

I had an OK experience at Oliver's. There was no crowd when I arrived. So the food order was not slow. We had Poundo and Special Rice. The place had the vibe of a bar/lounge; it didn't come across like a café. If what you want is a café, Oliver's won't deliver that experience. The drinks menu is shallow. They didn't have a lot of non-alcoholic options. There are 2 sections of dining space: a bigger outdoor and a smaller indoor dining space.

Visiting this place over a few months, I think I’ll say it’s one of the top five spots to visit in Bodija and it’s environs. The food they serve here is everything to look forward to. From their Singapore noodles, Stir-fried noodles, jollof rice, peppered gizzard, catfish peppersoup, and others. I assure you that’s it’s one of the best in Bodija. Their prices are very pocket-friendly as you’d get value for every penny you’re paying for. I wish I took pictures of the various things I’ve had over time, I’ll most likely update that soon. Their waiters are nice and they wear a charming smile while attending to your requests. They also have an in-house DJ that performs a few days in the week, so you’re guaranteed to enjoy some nice jams. The only setback here is how the place gets messy whenever it rains. The trampoline leaks so you might have to change seats as a result of that. Overall, you’ll definitely enjoy your time out here.

Oliver's Grill is one of the best hangout spot in Ibadan!! Such a relaxing place to stay and enjoy with friends! They sell different varieties of food, including but not limited to English breakfast, Chinese meals, stir-fry noodles, spring rolls, chicken and chips, coleslaw, barbeque catfish, fried plantains, sandwich, catfish and goat meat pepper soup barbeque croaker, chicken wings, suya, shawarma, beer, soda, tequila, rum, vodka and much more! They basically serve everything here. You can stay inside the restaurant, lounge or viewing area. For more privacy, I would suggest the lounge or the restaurant. They basically open at anytime. I and my friends weren't required to wear masks inside. Be careful though, the waiter added more money to my bill (twice) and it was only after I calculated it myself that I noticed it.
