Cantina
There is a cantina behind the bar, a hidden restaurant and a mezcaleria for 30 guests.
This is where we burn candles, make music quieter, pour mezcal and serve dinners the way we have learned it in Oaxaca.
Our team spent a month in a town in southern Mexico. We have learned from local chefs, searched for authentic recipes and tasted local food. In Moscow, we match our skills and knowledge to available ingredients and use herbs, spices, and techniques that we brought home to cook for you. Also, we brought seven kinds of mezcal directly sourced from the original distillers in Mexican villages.
