What they say:
Opened in September, MNKY HSE has taken over Dover Street Wine Bar's old home. The venue is spread over two floors and features a bar and more relaxed drinking space upstairs, while the downstairs is a restaurant. Using fresh British produce, head chef Pablo Peñalosa Nájera creates Latin American dishes and the cocktail menu is heavy on the Mexican spirit mezcal.
What we say:
Following on from the iconic Dover Street Wine Bar is no easy feat, but MNKY HSE seem up for the challenge. With a head chef who knows his stuff - Pablo Peñalosa Nájera was previously at the Four Seasons in Bogotá - the Latin American food looks authentic and high quality. The venue is a restaurant, bar and late-night space, and with so many elements in the mix it is interesting to see them pull off each, though with international DJs and mezcal-inspired cocktails, we don't think they are having too much trouble.
