Let’s take a closer look at what’s coming up. 

“The Wild West” – Cowboy Cuisine with a Sophisticated Twist

Saddle up and head to The Wild West, where cowboy cuisine meets sophistication. With a menu that features classic dishes like smoked brisket and ribs, as well as more refined dishes like Wagyu beef tartare, this spot is perfect for meat-lovers who want to try something new. One of the signature dishes on the menu is the smoked brisket which is cooked low and slow for hours and served with a house-made barbecue sauce. The meat is so tender it melts in your mouth in no time and the sauce has just the right balance of sweet and savory flavors. Another standout dish is the Wagyu beef tartare which is elevated with the addition of truffle oil and served with perfectly crispy chips.

In addition to the mouth-watering food, the atmosphere at The Wild West is inviting and stylish. This “cowboy” restaurant features warm wood paneling, vintage decor, and cozy leather booths which makes it the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner for two. What also makes this place a bit more special is that it is squeaky clean at all times. The kitchen staff at the Wild West are extra vigilant to leave every area spotless, which in turn helps avoid pest infestations in the long run. And if you’re a fan of whiskey, you’ll be pleased to know that The Wild West has an impressive selection of this classic cowboy beverage. The bar also offers a range of creative cocktails that complement the food menu perfectly. Needless to say, you’ll sure be transported to the wild west when visiting this place.

“El Silencio” – Mexican Cuisine with a Modern Twist

If you’re a fan of Mexican cuisine, you won’t want to miss El Silencio. This new restaurant takes traditional Mexican dishes and puts a somewhat modern twist on them, resulting in a menu that’s both classic and contemporary. And with its cozy atmosphere, you’ll feel right at home. One of the standout dishes on the menu is the grilled octopus which is served with a spicy chorizo sauce and crispy potatoes. Critics say, the combination of the tender octopus and the bold flavors of the sauce is truly a match made in heaven. For something a little more classic, the carne asada tacos are a must-try. The tender grilled steak is topped with a house-made salsa and served on a warm tortilla. The secret is, it’s simple yet delicious.

But it’s not just the food that makes El Silencio stand out; the restaurant has a cool and modern vibe with a sleek design that features black and white tiles and an eye-catching mural. The bar also serves up some of the best margaritas in the city with a variety of flavors to choose from.
