Book a table

El Bolillo, created by our own master of the Michelin dark arts.

A playful rendition of Mexico City’s provoking & vibrant street food scene, brought home to the coast.

Expect food that has all the minimalistic swagger of a fine dining restaurant but with flavours that boast those of your favourite late night guilty pleasures.

Punchy cocktails that have all the sass of your most elevated speak-easy, with a soundtrack to match and a wine list where you don’t have to pretend to know your stuff.

Most of our tables for two are at the counter, putting you right in the heart of the action.

Please be aware that we will not be able to cater for dietaries if not notified in advance.
