Weekends on the Plateau don’t ask for much; just good food, laughter, and a place to unwind. But with so many choices, the real question is: where will you spend yours? From sizzling grills to fresh markets and green gardens, we have rounded up five spots that show off Plateau’s weekend charm.
1. West of Mines
Evenings come alive here with the aroma of grilled fish and chicken. It’s the kind of spot where you settle in, share a meal, and maybe even walk away with a few new contacts you don’t quite remember adding. West of Mines is less about the noise and more about the relaxed weekend vibe.
2. KNL
A little bit of everything: restaurant, lounge, and event space rolled into one. KNL is where you can catch a meal and suddenly find yourself part of a wedding after-party you didn’t plan for. That’s the Plateau weekend spirit: unexpected but unforgettable.
3. Farin Gada Market
Weekends aren’t all play. Someone’s got to prep for Sunday rice. Farin Gada is where fresh vegetables, fruits, and ingredients line up in colorful chaos. The energy is loud, the produce is fresh, and by the time you leave, your Sunday menu is all sorted out.
4. La’mingo Garden
Green lawns, recycled chairs, trees for shade… Lamingo Garden is Jos showing off its softer side. Perfect for a laid-back afternoon with friends, or just for soaking in the eco-friendly creativity while enjoying good food in nature.
5. Old Airport Roundabout
No, you won’t need a boarding pass here. Old Airport is a food hub where suya smoke, snacks, and countless eateries compete for your attention. Whatever your weekend craving is, this spot guarantees you’ll find it (with change left in your pocket).
6. Your Bed (a.k.a. Home Base)
Sometimes the hottest spot in Jos is… your mattress. Zero stress, no traffic, no grilled fish. Just you, your blanket, and vibes.
Bonus Spot: Clay City Restaurant
If you’re spending the weekend at the Jos Museum, don’t leave without checking out Clay City Restaurant. Nestled right inside the museum grounds, Clay City is more than a place to eat, it’s an experience. With earthy, art-inspired decor, cozy lighting, and an atmosphere that invites you to sit back and breathe, it’s the perfect spot to meet friends, relax with loved ones, or enjoy a quiet meal after a tour. Their menu is as comforting as the space itself, making Clay City a must-visit gem inside one of Jos’s most iconic landmarks.
Plateau weekends have something for everyone: the foodie, the market shopper, the nature lover, the explorer. The real question is, which one are you?
