Across both Mestizo Chelsea and Camden locations, guests will discover colourful altars, authentic rituals, exclusive menus, and unique events designed to bring the spirit of this tradition to London.

In Mexico, Día de Muertos is a time to remember and celebrate loved ones who have passed away. The centrepiece of the celebration is the altar, decorated with flowers, candles, food, and photographs. Each element carries a symbolic meaning: cempasúchil (Mexico’s typical flower) guides the spirits back, candles light their path, and their favourite food welcomes them home.

Mestizo will open its doors to the community, inviting guests to bring photographs of their late loved ones so they can be part of the altars. These altars will be displayed throughout the celebrations as a tribute to life, memory, and togetherness.

The most exciting addition to Mestizo’s Día de Muertos calendar is the Semana de Moles (Week of Moles). Mole is one of Mexico’s most emblematic dishes, a rich and complex sauce often described as a true masterpiece of Mexican cuisine. Mestizo will offer Londoners the chance to experience a curated tasting of different moles, showcasing the diversity and artistry of this exceptional dish. It’s an opportunity to savour one of Mexico’s greatest culinary treasures, a true celebration of flavour and heritage.

Enjoy unlimited drinks with our exclusive drink packages! From Mexican wine to mezcal and tequila, enjoy unlimited drinks for the duration of your booking.
