PERRON (ILLOVO)

BEST FOR Mexican-inspired after-work drinks. FOOD This is not authentic Mexican, but it’s certainly not Tex-Mex either. Start with a little plate with a soft- or hard-shell taco with spicy tuna sashimi marinated in soy sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds; slow-cooked pork; lightly battered hake; spicy cauliflower and more. There is ceviche and an interesting salad of quinoa black beans, orange and chipotle, and another with pickled baby carrot and broccoli. If you’re going to indulge in many rounds of tequilas or margaritas, then nibbles like jalapeño poppers, chargrilled corn, burritos and bigger meals such as beef chilli, slow-cooked pork belly or a bowl of beans with aubergine are hearty stomach liners. Sweeten the deal with churros and dark chocolate. DRINKS The wine list has a fair selection of familiar names, together with cold beers and cocktails. SERVICE Waiters are friendly. AMBIENCE An Insta-worthy and statement colour palette creates a colourful atmosphere. (ZK)
