With its
delicious Latin food and drink offering, lively atmosphere and exotic
interior, Las Iguanas is looking to make a great impression on
Manchester's trendy Deansgate scene.
The city's social hub is a
perfect location for Las Iguanas second restaurant in the city, with
the Trafford Centre site well established as a favourite food
destination for shoppers.
Las Iguanas will be transforming
their Deansgate site into a cool Latin quarter with Brazilian
graffiti and a Rio image wall as backdrops. Bamboo and timber rafts
and a slatted wall with artisan objects bring Brazil closer to home
and help turn the 490sqm site into something altogether more exotic.
With fresh food cooked strictly
to order, the menu is inspired by regional dishes from across Latin
America. Latin food as we know it today dates right back to the 16th
Century and is a fusion of native Latin American Indian, Spanish,
Portuguese and African influences. The signature dish, Xinxim
Brasilian lime chicken, really is Pelè's favourite and is the
best example of this fusion, bringing together Latin, African and
Portuguese flavours to create something really special.
The restaurant is also renowned
for sizzling gourmet fajitas and delicious grills while the bar
specialises in cocktails made with Cachaça - a truly authentic
Latin spirit that Las Iguanas produces and imports from its own sugar
cane plantation outside Rio.
Commercial director Ajith Jaya
Wickrema said: "We have had our eye on Deansgate for a few
years now and have watched it evolve into a really exciting day and
night-time destination. There's a good blend of quality brand names
and intrepid independents in this area and Las Iguanas' presence can
only enhance the mix."
The restaurant and bar has 240
covers including a small piazza for seasonal alfresco dining.
Children get a special welcome and there's a menu for toddlers, half
sized portions for bigger kids and free organic baby food for the
bambinos. Parties are also well catered forwith bookings already
being taken for Christmas through the restaurant at The Trafford Centre.
Las
Iguanas, 84 Deansgate, Manchester M3 2ER.
