Los Mochis London City to open on 11 April
For oenophiles and sake-lovers alike, there will be wine and sake sommeliers on hand to guide guests through their collection with considered pairings to complement dishes, including agave pairings
Los Mochis is set to open the doors of its flagship rooftop restaurant Los Mochis London City on 11 April.
Founded by Markus Thesleff, Los Mochis London City will bring its Pan-Pacific pairing of Mexican-Japanese cuisine from West London to Liverpool Street.
Building on the “cult fan base” established by the launch of its Notting Hill location in 2021, the new 14,000 sq. ft restaurant, designed by OV & Co from Los Angeles, will span across the ninth floor rooftop of 100 Liverpool Street’s Broadgate, boasting a bar, restaurant, two private dining rooms and a 3,000 sq. ft outdoor terrace.
The new location includes a 24-foot colourful mural created by Mexican artist Tellaeche by hand, as well as private elevators for accessing the rooftop terrace and a seven-metre-long wine and sake room and the Agaveria Bar and Lounge, which has low banquettes arranged against floor to ceiling windows.
The main bar will take centre stage as the ‘Agaveria’ plays a “crucial role” boasting one of the largest selections of fine and rare tequilas and mezcals in Europe. The cocktail list will continue to take inspiration from the restaurant’s dual heritage with innovative serves including the signature Los Mochis Tommy’s and Pepiño Jalapeno Margarita from Los Mochis Notting Hill, alongside new craft cocktails tailored specifically for Los Mochis City.
The terrace features another bar designed with hand-painted Mexican Talavera tiles. Bordered by cacti and set against the backdrop of St Paul’s Cathedral and The Gherkin, the terrace will offer a fully covered and heated space. With one of the latest outdoor terrace licences in London, diners and cocktail lovers will be able to sip sundowners al fresco until late (3am).
Los Mochis executive chef, Leonard Tanyag, previously head chef at Okku Dubai, has curated a diverse menu, blending “Japanese elegance” with “Mexican vibrancy”. Guests can expect all the “fan favourites” from Notting Hill including Truffle Guacamole on Crispy Rice, Spicy Hiramasa Maki, and Trailer Park Chicken Taco, as well as a new Sushi Bar.
The restaurant, with space for 150 diners, will feature a Sushi Bar and Robata Grill with 15 different Kushiyaki (grilled skewers) charred over open fire, as well as a 12m custom willow tunnel sculpture by artist Cherry Chung and two Private Dining Rooms.
Markus Thesleff, founder of Los Mochis, said: “We’re excited to be able to bring Los Mochis to Broadgate, as we have worked tirelessly to create something incredibly special. We can’t wait to welcome guests through the doors and have a few surprises up our sleeves.”
