It’s so cosy in here. I always feel like I just stepped into a book club when I walk in. I love their peppered snail 😋. Always has a great atmosphere.

Great food and all but and nice ambience. The food was tasty and u loved every bit of it. Though I feel maintenance works should be conducted in other to give the place a more welcoming view. The interior looks tacky though I don't know if it's a deliberate act by the owners but I feel they need to give the place a lift. Great food no doubt and the books for sale should be upgraded too. We have very few books from few Authors.

Nice place to chill or work on a Saturday morning. It is stylishly decorated and spacious however some corners could use an extra cleaning. The Big Breakfast has good meal plans but the lunch options can be improved. It is also a bookstore with a good collection of books by Nigerian authors. Menu Items are reasonably but not cheap. Servers are nice. Overall it is good place to spend sometime.

Solid 4 star. Nice vibe and ambiance, friendly staff. They made a couple of errors on our order and some dishes took a while to come out, but otherwise a very lovely evening here and the food was decent.

Nice ambience. Cool spot. You can chill. Eat drink and read here. They have a very calm atmosphere at salamander. You can take coffee or a normal snack and drink

One of Abuja's oldest cafes if not the oldest. Book lovers can feel right at home in the book corner that has a great selection of books from mostly Afrucan authors. Not a long has changed over the years but that something that would please loyalists. It has both indoor and outdoor sitting and is great for group meetups. It could do with better customer service in terms of how responsive the waiters are.

The food here is great and so is the service!! The portions are actually big, so very filling. We sat outdoors and the ambience was lovely; we didn't get a chance to go inside but I hear they have books and that should be interesting. The vibe is great, the greenery, the colours, all contribute to make this a wonderful spot. The only let down is pricing, it is quite on the high side, but also not all too surprising for Wuse 2. Altogether a great experience. I'm definitely coming back for the books and more good food!

First time for brunch there. Had a basil, tomato, Brie and egg white omelette. Tasty although not much Brie in it. Service adequate. Other people at the table had liver, onions, with potatoes and eggs. One person had to send the eggs back, overcooked. High service charge here!! So no tipping

They moved to bloody god knows where and they didn't dim it fit to update their Google page, drove all the way to find that out, disappointing

Rustic traditional setting. If you're a little afrocentric or you love books or both, there's a nice little corner just for you. The atmosphere is serene and the food is great! Whether you're a solitary diner or in the quiet company of friends, there's a perfect spot for you.

I love this place ... Feels right at home... If you're an art lover, free spirit, hipster, emo,romantic, aesthetic, literature lover .. Basically if your soul sounds like a waterfall and you are Seeking a nice cool serene... This is the best place to chill... i love the coco loco drink 😍...

Old but classy joint for beeteeful breakfast. Salamander is also good for book lovers,tea and coffee lovers etc

Nice place, decent neighborhood but you have to pay for the service charge plus cost of stuffs bought, tax is another thing you wouldn't know the % on value but added automatically... Anyways I enjoyed my visit.

Vibe is just great. You can go alone or with friends and enjoy yourself. Food is a bit pricey but good. I really go largely for the atmosphere.

Epochal place

It was my first time here after hearing a lot of good reviews from friends. I must say I wasn't dissappoint ed. The food was lovely and our waiter was very pleasant. The outdoor space is ideal for some cool natural breeze while you eat and chat. I am not a fan of salads but this one was different in a positive way ofcourse. I think it was called Salamader Crobb or something like that lol

This place is lovely. From the food to the decor and ambience to the waiters and waitresses. Superb!

Very relaxed environment, quite cozy, free wifi and their menu is good, attracts a lot of trendy people too.

Great atmosphere, great menu and excellent service. If you love books and good food and calm environment come here.

Salamander Cafe is absolutely beautiful. Cosy, relaxing. Perfect for some 'Me' time and for a hangout.I totally recommend the Chocolate Cake, tastes amazing. Staff are quick to respond. I can't stress enough how beautiful the scenery is even though I have a bias for places that look like a coven for artists.

Bcs its always on point

Good food and ambience

Way too over priced compared to what is served. Great selection of books, but wouldn’t recommend the food or the coffee. Nobody wearing a mask inside, so risk groups stay away.

Calm, quiet atmosphere. Okay service. Quite overpriced though

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to relax, read, eat or drink coffee. The waiters are super friendly !!! I love it (Original) Excelente lugar para relajarse, leer, comer o tomar café. Los camareros son súper amables!!! Me encanta

It was okay and I loved the library vibes. But the staff were a bit too complacent and laissez-faire

Excellent service, good ambience

Very okay

Serene and Awesome environment.

Nice coffee

Great ambience

Cosy place for a date

Just there

Nothing special... breakfast and coffee definitely overpriced... and tasteless..

Very cozy in its decor

Lovely space

Artsy and cozy cafe with your regular cafe menu.

Love the ambience and eccentricity of this place. The staff is super courteous and helpful. I had the Steak and eggs I really enjoyed it. This is a pricey café so you better be going with a fat purse.

Good location, they have indoor space and outdoor, the staff were curious. The food was good

The food is good and the ambience is so cozy that you'd feel like sitting with your legs folded beneath you and burying your head in a book.

I love having breakfast here on weekends. Quiet and open garden space is calming. Small bookstore where you can read as well. The service standard fluctuates sometimes but they are receptive and always willing to do better.

Loved the ambience, nice place to work also..

Beautiful ambience, great location and excellent menus!

If you're looking for a place to hush in the city, then this is a quiet spot for such. One can also have indoor meetings and possibly read some good books.

I had a great time at Salamander. It's peaceful and quiet. The service is amazing. If you're new in town, you should definitely check out salamander.

Ok place but can be better

Great food, warm reception, beautiful ambience!

Still one of the best places for a quiet hang out. Has a book club and nice shaded outdoor area. Food is good - relatively pricey.

Decent Live Band

Cafe

Cool and awesome environment

Nice cafe, at least offering eatery services which at this post knockdown era is scarce. Nice deals!!!

Calm and beautiful

If you're looking for a place with the antique decor and nice upcycled decor this is your plug.

Great place to sit and read, they have a mini library, continental dishes, quite environment. Neat and contemporary.

needs renovation. okay

Overpriced food, decor was nothing special. Staff sat indoors the entire time, we had to wave for their attention and not a single face mask was in sight until we demanded our waiter wear one. I’m scared to even think of if the kitchen staff wore any. Book selection wasn’t that diverse either. This place gives off a vibe that it used to be better maintained.

Very bohemian setting but mildly dilapidated

quirky and lovely atmosphere, oh and great coffee too....

Serene. I loved the wings

So cozy and lovely. Love the book store too. Great coffee

British standard

It was so nice

Food was delicious and the staff were polite. Cute spot for date night.

If you looking for a quite coffee shop, for business, this place is not for you, is a coffee shop and a restaurant/bar.

Personal customer service

The place is nice

Ridiculously expensive!

Great place to be, the word is serene

Nice cafe

Great food

Had their yam and fish sauce. It's nice

I liked it

A very nice place but needs some little renovation, most especially the pop.

Good

Serene

Good

Serene and beautiful environment . Courteous staff and the food is amazing . Would go there again and again

Nice place , toilet's not that great & no wifi

Amazing food

Good

Lovely place, excellent service

Cool place

Inconsistent is the word. Food wise - I ordered the full english breakfast and I didn't enjoy it one bit. The baked beans were awful. My friend got the big Nigerian which wasn't that bad, it was more corned beef than egg but maybe thats how its done. The service wasn't that great either, the waiter Gbenga was only aware of one customer and ignored the other completely which was just ...

Barbecue chicken plug

I love the ambiance and the serenity of this upscale book club/coworking space.

Very good

Quite and serene location

Nice breakfast there. Very tasty

Ambience, rustic and african
