Review

Carmina, the vibrant, musical, and high-spirited Latin American venue in the Mille Malle complex is a spot for full-flavour dishes and full-volume revelry. Embracing the Latin American spirit, Carmina’s passion and sense of adventure shines through in food, ambiance, service, and weekly special events. Explore the fiery spices of Peru in ceviche classico, fresh and zesty sea bass topped with crispy sweet potato and served with superbly crunchy fried tortilla fragments. Venture into savoury Argentinian meats and try empanadas with filling options of beef, pork, or chicken, the perfect embodiment of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Pollo a la brasa bursts with smoky spices and savoury juiciness, highly recommended with a side of fiesta patatas bravas, which is one of the best iterations in the city of this famous Spanish potato dish. For dessert choose flan de azafrán, an aromatic sweet treat infused with saffron and cardamom, drizzled with dulce de leche and butter crumble, and served with refreshing lime sorbet. Carmina’s cocktail menu is a true delight. Try ‘star in my eyes’ for a unique and subtly creamy concoction, or, if intending to stay on theme, Carmina sangria goes well with the fare. The fully stocked and eye-catchingly colourful bar will ably supply the rest of any alcohol demands.
