Azotea, the new Latin American rooftop restaurant and bar coming to Leeds this March, has revealed an exciting sneak peek at its menu.
Bursting with authentic flavours stretching from the Caribbean coast to the streets of Mexico, Azotea’s dishes promise an unrivalled dining experience which masterfully blends the diverse colour and variety of Latin American cuisine with the expertise of its chefs.
From delightful bar nibbles to a colourful array of sharing plates and tacos, the adventurous menu combines natural fresh produce with centuries-old techniques and is designed to encourage guests to come together to experience the warmth of the Latin American culture, with a vibrant atmosphere to match.
Described as an urban rooftop oasis, the venue will also offer an authentic brunch menu and signature cocktail list which incorporates a diverse range of tequilas, mezcals, and rums from Latin America and the Caribbean – meaning the impressive skyline views, mouth-watering cuisine, and unique drinks offering can be enjoyed from morning to night.
Jared Webb, Head Chef at Azotea, commented: “Azotea is more than just a restaurant, it is a love letter to the rich and vibrant cultures of Latin America, and our menu has been carefully curated to reflect this.
“The menu is designed to immerse diners in an unforgettable culinary adventure, taking inspiration from the traditional flavours of over thirty countries. It is a tribute to the culinary traditions passed down through generations, with each dish crafted with fresh, natural ingredients and prepared with care.
“Our signature cocktail offering is the product of in-depth research. The team have worked tirelessly on perfecting the spirits and flavour combinations from each region. Our aim is to introduce customers to new cocktail experiences and encourage them to try flavours they’ve never had before.”
