LAS IGUANAS
For lovers of Latin food,
Las Iguanas needs no
introduction. The popular
chain serves classic Latin
American dishes, flame-grilled
and infused with spice, from
a capacious premises on the
Quayside. A high ceiling allows
plenty of light to permeate
the open-plan restaurant,
whose
industrial
decor
includes exposed venting
and cheery light shades that
hover overhead like flying
saucers. A lunch menu runs
till 6:30pm, ensuring that even
late risers needn’t miss out on
enchiladas, tacos and burgers,
with prices starting from a
very reasonable £6. The
restaurant’s spicy chicken,
marinated in a fiery sauce,
comes highly recommended,
though pretty much anything
that’s fresh off the grill is sure
to hit the spot. The full dinner
menu includes a selection
of Brazilian dishes such as
Bahian coconut chicken and
xinxim, featuring crayfish in
a creamy lime and peanut
sauce, which may give you
cause to overlook the fajitas
for once. Selected cocktails
and coolers are on offer every
single day, freshly shaken
and stirred at the bar, where
coffee and tapas can also be
enjoyed.
