The Carousel team transforms their former wine bar into a sophisticated, Contramar-inspired sanctuary for Mexican seafood and agave cocktails.
Ordering Strategy
Treat this like a refined seafood bar: start with a round of raw aguachiles and tostadas, then share the large format crab rice or lobster. Save room for the citrus bonanza dessert.
What to order
Ceviche and Aguachile
These raw dishes lead the menu, pairing fresh UK seafood with 'zesty Mexican flavours' inspired by the coastal state of Sinaloa.
Crab Chilpachole Rice
A traditional seafood stew from Veracruz reimagined as a hearty sharing plate, made richer with the addition of 'delicious brown butter and chive.'
Lobster with Chintextle
A luxurious main featuring Oaxacan chilli paste and a 'succulent smoked butter sauce.'
Mezcal Old Fashioned
A standout on the agave-based drinks menu, cited as a must-order alongside their spicy margaritas.
