"An independent restaurant with a daily menu using seasonal local ingredients and far-flung flavours. Simple and eclectic open fire cooking with a handpicked selection of wines."
"Palmito on Western Road is so physically small that if you had to share this space with someone you loved for a full business week, it would probably result in a swift separation. But for a cachaća-infused evening amidst tasteful foliage, it’s perfect. The changing menu is like the travel itinerary for the gap year we never had—Peruvian ceviche, Mexican salsa macha, a distinctly Italian pistachio tiramisu—but the best dishes are the things that hint at the founder’s Ecuadorian roots. The tacos, whether filled with crispy local haddock and tomatillo salsa or tender birria pork primed for a dip in guajillo broth, rank as some of the best we’ve tried this side of the Atlantic. It’s popular, so be sure to book a couple weeks before your visit. " - heidi lauth beasley

"The plates are small and the flavours are big at this wonderful little neighbourhood restaurant. The style of the food is described as ‘spice driven’ and draws on multiple global cuisines across the selection of affordable dishes. The décor is simple and understated, but the cooking is bold and interesting, with an appropriate degree of care taken in the kitchen. Kick your evening off with a colourful cocktail, and make sure to end it with a delicious dessert." - Michelin Inspector
