Lifestyle: Inside Ikoyi, The Restaurant Putting West African Ingredients On The Fine Dining World Map

If you ask Messrs Jeremy Chan and Iré Hassan-Odukale – the restaurateur duo behind London’s two Michelin-starred Ikoyi – where they thought they’d be now five years ago, their answer is hardly surprising. “If you saw us then, frying donuts, hosting dinners in Iré’s mum’s basement, doing pop-ups at festivals, you’d think, ‘these guys are trying really hard, they’re a little bit messy but they have great ideas and passion’,” says Chan. Clearly, they didn’t fully anticipate the wild success they have achieved. But few in their position would have done.
