This summer, Marylebone will welcome Molé, a boutique Mexican restaurant and taco bar to the neighbourhood.
Serving up both classic and experimental Mexican/South American cuisine and cocktails in a vibrant space, it looks set to bring a new type of modern Mexican cooking to London.
Located a few minutes walk from Bond Street station, the Molé concept has been devised by the team behind successful neighbouring sister Pan-Asian restaurant, Cocochan. The intimate 50-cover restaurant will have a warm and stylish feel from the moment guests enter.
The quirky interior will feature a living wall with lush greenery, distressed surfaces, hand-drawn wallpaper by the acclaimed Timorous Beasties, and quotes from Mexico’s most famous female artist, Frida Kahlo adorning the walls.
Bright bespoke fabrics by celebrated designers, Matthew Williamson and Christian Lacroix, and custom made leather and hide furniture will be used at intervals throughout the space. These design touches will be perfectly offset with an industrial element of raw brickwork, steel and polished concrete.
The Molé menu will offer refined South American classics, with a novel take on traditional comfort food updated with modern cooking methods and ingredients. 80% of Molé’s menu will be gluten-free, including their signature tacos, made on site from Masa (cornflour).
