Hospitality group Liquid and Larder is set to introduce an all-weather Mexican restaurant and Mezcaleria perched atop The Eve Hotel Sydney in January.

Surrounded by lush greenery and adjacent to The Eve’s rooftop pool, Lottie will offer drinks and dining alfresco with views across Surry Hills, Redfern and beyond.

The 107-seat venue, with a retractable roof, will feature a central marble bar with 27 seats, an open kitchen, and a 28-seat semi-private dining area on the western side of the rooftop.

With landscaping by Daniel Baffsky of 360 Degrees Landscape Architects and designed by Sydney’s own George Livissianis, Lottie’s look brings together textural cayenne terrazzo, pink travertine in a nod to the rooftops of Redfern, and lavish banquettes.

“With only a small number of elevated Mexican restaurants in Australia, we have taken on the task of creating something exceptional at Lottie,” said Liquid and Larder Co-Founder, James Bradey.

“Having recently spent time in Los Angeles, we were inspired by how LA approaches Mexican cuisine in a modern way and realised it was time to champion a cuisine that is commonly misrepresented in Australia.

“We are excited to show Sydney what contemporary Mexican looks like to us in an unparalleled setting where you can escape the world below, soak up the heady scent of white copal mayan incense floating through the breeze, and transport yourself to where you’d rather be.”

Lottie’s menu is built on authentic Mexican flavours, created with fresh Australian produce.

“Lottie will showcase the vibrant and dynamic culinary landscape that showcases the rich heritage and cultural diversity of Mexico whilst embracing modern culinary techniques and global influences,” said Liquid and Larder Executive Chef, Pip Pratt.

“This cuisine extends beyond traditional dishes such as tacos and burritos, offering an extensive range of sophisticated and innovative creations.”
