Mestizo – Warren Street

Mestizo was a place recommended for a dinner out and a get together with friends. It does not provide your standard run of the mill Mexican food.

Benito’s Hat – Covent Garden

Benito’s Hat has a colourful and vibrant interior with an orange and green theme. These fresh and striking colours are reflected in the food. There’s a funky mural on the back wall towards the bar area of the restaurant. All these elements set the theme of a relaxed eatery.
