Ixchel

Infusing the glamour of Chelsea with the bold, authentic flavours of Mexico, Ixchel is more than just a restaurant - it’s a celebration. Inspired by the Mayan goddess of the moon, this beautifully designed space invites you on a culinary journey where every dish is a work of art. At the helm is Mexican chef Ximena Gayosso Gonzalez, whose passion for food and creative flair shines through in every bite.

Here, dining is a shared experience, just as it is in Mexico, where friends and family come together over plates bursting with flavour. Signature dishes include freshly made tacos, such as the succulent braised veal shank taco with salsa verde morita, or the delicate soft-shell crab with scallop tartare. The grill takes centre stage, offering flame-kissed delights like short rib, with smoky adobo, and grilled sea bass with pistachio mole verde.

No visit is complete without a sip from Ixchel’s standout cocktail list, where tequila and mezcal take the spotlight. From a perfectly balanced white peach margarita to a smoky signature negroni, each drink is crafted to complement the vibrant flavours on your plate.

With its stunning interiors, electric yet intimate atmosphere, and a menu that pays homage to Mexico’s rich culinary traditions, Ixchel is a destination for those who love bold flavours, beautiful presentations, and unforgettable dining experiences.
