Rotunda launches Tulum Terrace for the summer

Al fresco dining at Rotunda

Canalside restaurant Rotunda in King’s Cross has transformed its outside area into a tropical Tulum Terrace for the summer. The newly opened outdoor dining area will transport visitors to the Riviera Maya all summer long with a Mexican-inspired summer menu, alongside a cocktail list centred around tequila and mezcal featuring Amber Beverage Groups’ agave portfolio including KAH Tequila, Rooster Rojo Tequila, Fortaleza Tequila and Madre Mezcal.

Rotunda has to be King’s Cross’ best kept secret. Located on the canal behind the Guardian offices, the Mexico-inspired restaurant offers not just top-quality dishes from the Latin American country and expertly crafted cocktails, but an outdoor dining area right on the water called Tulum Terrace.

This will be accompanied by a programme of events from yoga and wellness to botanical workshops and weekly sundown sessions with a line-up of DJs, and mezcal and tequila masterclasses. Ideal for the summer months ahead.

Dine on small plates including tuna tartare or refried bean tacos served with tequila, lime and pico de gallo salsa; or try Rotunda’s infamous Sticky Corneyside Farm beef croquettes with habanero mayonnaise and lime.

Rotunda prides itself on its meat quality, particularly its beef steaks and lamb cutlets. Main dishes that have been given a Mexican flair include the outstanding chargrilled rump of Texel lamb. The quality of food at Rotunda is not one to be beaten since all the beef and lamb served to guests is sourced from its very own Corneyside Farm in Northumberland, adhering to Rotunda’s gate-to-plate philosophy. The farm rears grass-fed free-range Limousin X beef and Texel lamb especially for Rotunda.

Rotunda’s brand new summer cocktail menu will transport you to the beaches of Tulum. Try Rio Rosa (pink peppercorn and dill infused Rooster Rojo Tequila Blanco, lime juice, strawberry cordial, honey, pink grapefruit, and bergamot tonic), Spiced Granada Spritz (Katun Mexican Gin, St. Germain elderflower, lemon, pomegranate and mint syrup, prosecco) and Las Bandidas (Mezcal Union Una, Frangelico, Antica Formula, St Germain Elderflower and lime).

A rotating menu of tropical flavoured frozen cocktails will also be available alongside low ABV options – perfect for summer days.

Featuring an abundance of greenery, walkways and photo opportunities, the Tulum Terrace is set to bring the bohemian-chic vibes right to King’s Cross, transforming Rotunda’s waterside terrace into a tropical oasis.
