Bōkan

Bōkan is a must-visit this autumn for anyone looking to celebrate Día de los Muertos in style. From Tuesday the 28th of October to Saturday the 1st of November, the Soho restaurant is launching a limited-edition tasting menu inspired by the flavours and traditions of the Mexican Day of the Dead. Each dish is carefully crafted to showcase bold, seasonal ingredients, offering diners a unique and immersive culinary experience.

The festivities are elevated with a specially curated selection of cocktails, created in collaboration with Desdeya tequila and Pensador, which perfectly complement the tasting menu.
