Hammett’s Mestizo

Mestizo is a happening modern/retro place — soft lighting in a cascade of globes, supplemented by individual brass table mini lamps, pulsing music in the background, double height ceiling throughout most of the restaurant, and a stunning wine cellar spanning two floors. Relax in comfortable plush armchairs and tune in to the vibe as you admire the luxuriant green of the wall garden. Choose an original cocktail or mixed drink from the heavy brass covered drinks menu and watch it being prepared in style in the large corner bar. Try a smoked heart of palm negroni and prepare to be wowed by the rising smoke, or savour a traditional pisco sour.

Mestizo serves a blend of Latin American tapas to share, aptly reflecting its name, which means the merging of different cultures. Dive into this culinary feast with exotically named dishes like Tequenos. Share ceviche aji amarillo (fresh local fish with lime and onion), Colombian coconut rice, Pichana (beef rump, cassava and chimichuri) and of course taco of the day. Try the divine Tres Leches cake, or experience the original rum and chocolate pairing trolley with a choice of exquisite chocolate and fine rum.
