Isses

Isses offers a unique take on Mexican classics in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The menu is far removed from the usual tortilla-wrapped meals that we have come to expect from Mexican restaurants; at Isses you can enjoy unexpected yet undeniably delightful combinations of fresh vegetables and meat. Remember to top it off with one of their many scrumptious cocktails.

Nudo only uses seasonal produce and works alongside producers to create a nutritious, delicious and completely sustainable menu. Whilst the dishes are simple, they will taste all the sweeter knowing that you can enjoy them with a clear conscience.
