Besides the topsy-turvy that one has to go through in life, there lies a strong need in the heart of everyone to take time out to ease the stress that comes with the daily dealings and because life is unique, people have different ways of unwinding. Few people may prefer relaxation that has health benefits like going to the gym to burn off some calories or visiting a spa for body massage which is believed to aid blood circulation.? Others might on the other hand, want to go jig it out with friends and loved ones in night clubs or lounges to get a feel of what the city holds for its people.? Some others prefer spending all night ruffling and shuffling their feet or hanging out in a classy restaurant for a treat to mouth-watering cuisines.

?The tourism sector in Nigeria includes tropical beaches, rain forests, savannahs, lively cities and rich cultures. New investment initiatives and efforts to increase leisure outfits are fast increasing not only in the city of Abuja but its environs.
?
That is why we believe that with the introduction of the Roots Cuisine at the very prestigious Congress Lounge in Maitama, Abuja, the culinary scene will not be the same again. The Roots restaurant is unique for its fine dining and is Abuja’s first 24 hour restaurant catering people who do not want to eat just ordinary food but signature dishes by Nigeria’s first and only celebrity chef, Uche Philip Umeadi. Chef Uche, the face of the Roots Empire, is notorious for his unbelievable signature dishes.
?
ENTERTAINMENT RENDEZVOUS understands that no two dishes of his are the same. He treats each dish with utmost respect and absolute creativity imbibing the highest standards akin to the finest dining experiences in France and Switzerland.
?
Chef Uche as a veteran in the culinary business has cooked for princes, business moguls and presidents. Having been chef of the kitchens of many five star hotels and restaurants from Lagos to Monaco, he promises that the Roots restaurant at the Congress Lounge, Abuja, will be the best 24-hour restaurant in town.
?
The management of the new Congress Lounge has promised to leave no stone unturned in their bid to radically change the Abuja social scene. With their previous accomplishments: producers of the first West African Idols, Moments With Mo, Celebrity Takes Two, they have managed some high end brands and it is safe to say that with the planned introduction of International artistes, like Joe, Kelly Rowland and Cool and the Gang, the Congress will be completely turned around and also be the place to be for those seeking first class high end entertainment. It has been revealed that the Roots Cuisine, also situated in Lagos, South Africa and London, will be the flagship of the Congress, serving three-course meal. The idea is to change the perception of people who believe that African restaurants are low ends, where you can just come in, grab a meal and zoom off.
According to the chef, Nigeria is going to experience the best of treats and the experience will be worth the while.
?
From an entertainment and life style point of view, it is a good thing that the Roots is situated within a night club, this means that there will be a 24-hour lounge, a night club and a 24-hour restaurant within the same vicinity.
?
“People are tired of the same monotonous every Friday night clubbing. The Congress Lounge aims at changing that perception by creating concepts and giving them reasons to come out all the time with the understanding that they will see something different and refreshing”, he enthused.
?
So it is safe to say that with the introduction of the ultra modern night club, all day lounges, 24-hour Roots restaurant and a slew of international artistes, the Congress Lounge is the place to be this December if you are looking for refreshing entertainment, signature food and excellent music.
