Cavita Restaurant, Mezcaleria - Basement Bar

Situated in the heart of the city, Cavita invites guests to indulge in a blend of modern and traditional cuisine, crafted with the finest ingredients and meticulous attention to detail. From intimate dinners to celebratory gatherings, we promise a journey through Mexican flavours, colours and traditions creating a memorable dining experience that tantalizes the senses and leaves a lasting impression.

We love the history of Mexican food and take enormous pride in the traditional cuisine being recognized by UNESCO, inscribed on the list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

Downstairs sits the hidden mezcaleria, Mayahuel, a beautiful atmospheric cocktail and mezcal bar and a wonderful spot to enjoy the finest Mexican spirits.

Pull up a chair, and you’ll see that the bottles illuminated at the back of the bar are all agave-based spirits – tequila, mezcal, bacanora and more – sourced from independent producers across Mexico. Mayahuel’s all about education, so here you can order tasting servings with unusual pairings such as dark chocolate, grapefruit and grasshopper salt to bring out their flavours, as well as aged tequilas and mezcals for sipping. You’ll also discover less familiar Mexican creations like sotol, the unofficial state spirit of Chihuahua, which is made from a desert plant in the same family as asparagus. It’s been used to make drinks for 9000 years, and for the past 500 it’s been distilled into a mezcal-style spirit. Each plant only makes one bottle of sotol, so it’s a pretty unique drink, and one which is finally becoming better known in the West.
