Porteño

SURRY HILLS

Charcoal-roasted meats and sides, paired with a choice of 300 wines.

Donny's

MANLY

A New York-style bar with exposed brick and copper piping throughout.

The Butler

POTTS POINT

From The Butler’s large and leafy terrace you get an unbeatable vantage point to the city skyline above Woolloomooloo and The Domain. But after some South American-inspired snacks and a seasonal Margarita or two, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world.

Ovo Cafe

DARLINGHURST

A small, easy-to-miss cafe serving incredible Brazilian cakes and home-style meals.

Brix Distillers

SURRY HILLS

Inside a former storage space used by St Mary’s Cathedral is Sydney’s best (and only) dedicated rum distillery. Settle in for a tasting flight, and South American-inspired eats like tacos and croquetas.

Nikkei

SURRY HILLS

Nikkei is a Peruvian cuisine that combines Japanese techniques with South American flavours. That’s exactly what you get at this slick restaurant and bar by the Tokyo Bird crew, where the cocktails are just as vibrant as the food.

Pepito's

MARRICKVILLE

This "taberna" in a former seafood shop wants to transport diners to Lima's grungy dive-bar scene and educate them about pisco.

Esteban

SYDNEY

A moody Mexican laneway diner in an old CBD printing shop. The upstairs restaurant serves tacos al pastor, a one-kilogram Wagyu rib eye and a riff on the Pina Colada for dessert. But downstairs in the bar, it's all about mezcal and tequila.

Tommy’s

DARLINGHURST

Tequila, tacos and shareable woodfired dishes make for a seriously good time at this Mexican- and South American-inspired spot. Sip one of 10 different Margaritas in the breezy courtyard out back, or go for the lively interior for plenty of bar action.

Morena

SYDNEY

The chef behind two of acclaimed Melbourne restaurants is bringing his produce-driven approach to the GPO building in Martin Place. At Morena, he's showcasing the best of Latin American cuisine, and Australia's largest collection of wines from the region.

Tommy’s Manly

MANLY

The sequel to the Darlinghurst favourite is bringing ceviches, tacos and woodfired plates made with NSW produce to the beaches.
