NoMad London teams up with Tulum’s ARCA for Cinco de Mayo celebrations

NoMad London is partnering with Tulum restaurant and bar, ARCA, for a remarkable two-night event celebrating the spirit of Cinco de Mayo. Slated for the 5th and 6th of May, the collaboration will mark ARCA’s first appearance in London, bringing its distinguished flavours and cocktails from the heart of the Mexican jungle to the historic streets of Covent Garden. The event is expected to bring a memorable combination of gastronomy and mixology, highlighted by ARCA’s notable ranking as No. 29 in Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants and No. 23 in North America’s 50 Best Bars.

The festivities kick off at NoMad London’s Side Hustle on Sunday, 5th of May, where guests will indulge in mezcal-infused cocktails and Mexican-inspired small plates. The evening will showcase the combined expertise of Liana Oster, NoMad London’s bar director, and Peter Sanchez, Global Brand Ambassador for The Lost Explorer Mezcal and ARCA’s bar director. The collaborative effort aims to encapsulate the vibrant culinary heritage of Mexico through drink creations and tantalising dishes.

The celebration continues then on Monday, 6th of May, as NoMad’s main restaurant plays host to a six-course tasting menu meticulously crafted by ARCA’s executive chef José Luis Hinostroza, in concert with NoMad London’s kitchen team led by executive chef Zak Gregoire and executive sous chef Juan Hernandez. Guests will be treated to a dining experience echoing the essence of Tulum, complete with optional mezcal pairings and live music. The menu is a testament to the chefs’ collective prowess, featuring a fusion of culinary techniques and flavours that spotlight seasonal ingredients and the art of open-fire cooking.

Set in the iconic ambience of NoMad London, located at the Old Police Station Entrance on 28 Bow Street in Covent Garden, the event is a rare opportunity for London’s food enthusiasts to experience the authentic taste of Tulum. Tickets for the restaurant event on the 6th of May are priced at £175.
