Review on MNKY HSE
Located in the heart of affluent Mayfair in the premises that once housed the iconic Dover Street Wine Bar for 35 years, MNKY HSE, pronounced monkey aims to bring the pulsating and fiery energy of Latin America to the city of London. Laid out over two floors the venue rocks to live music from the house band, as well as playing host to international and resident DJ's.
Upstairs you will find an intimate bar and lounge, while the main restaurant is downstairs in the swanky decorated domed vault. Moodily lit with leather banquette seating and walls lined with quirky gilt framed pictures, there's also tables set within private booths that can be closed off with vintage style lift doors, perfect for larger groups.
Diners can expect Latin American cuisine prepared with modern seasonal ingredients along the lines of crispy tortilla, smoked salmon, tomatillos and coriander or Wagyu thin cut with pico de gallo. Main courses pick up on octopus, avocado and pobland chilli sauce or from the land there's pork al pastor, pork skewers, pineapple, coriander, onion and pineapple sauce. To finish expect sweet offerings like peanut butter, pop corn and toffee sauce or dark chocolate lingot, milk ice cream and cardamom.
Dance the night away while sipping one of their signature cocktails or choose something from their vast menu of mescals, an alcoholic beverage made from the agave plant native to Mexico.
