Restaurant Top 10 / Casual / La Bodega Negra
Sexy subterranean Mexican
Disguised as a Soho sex shop, you have to know where you’re going to dine on LBN’s NY-style Mexican fare. Book well ahead for a table (you won’t get past the bouncer without a booking) and descend the steps into a subterranean space of dark corners, fantastical art and tequila barrels. Sip on a margarita on the rocks (or tamarind and frozen grapefruit variations), try the Pepito as a palate cleanser, or go hard and order tequila neat. The food is good, but it’s all about the vibe here: fun, fun, fun.
Top Tip:
If you can’t get into the subterranean restaurant, nip round the corner to the taqueria on Moor Street for street food style tortillas.
