Unlike so many of the Capital´s more formulaic South American restaurants, the ´unpretentious´ 1492 Latin Fusion is pleasingly theme-free and offers good food from around the continent rather than just the popular countries.

Warmly decorated with brown leather chairs, wooden floors and burnt sienna walls, the South American feel is reflected in the art on the walls and by the large yucca plants in every corner. Wrought iron candelabras add an ecclesiastical touch and there is always subtle Latin music playing in the background.

We all know (well those who actually took notice in History lessons!) that 1492 is the year Columbus sailed the ocean blue and Latin culture met with Native America for the first time. We have since warmed ourselves from the heat of that combustion and over the centuries the mix has been enriched by Arab and African contributions - the delicious mix is exactly what 1492 Latin Fusion serves up on a plate.

The special flavours and combinations that are on offer at 1492 Latin Fusion, combined with the Latin warmth of the greeting, add up to one terrific venue. The colourful decor brings a lot of cheer to London´s drearier months and magnifies the joy of the sunny season.

Chef´s speciality dish:

Mexican chicken, Chocolate and Chilli

A wonderfully baroque recipe combining four different chillis, chocolate, nuts and fruits…enjoy!
