Las Iguanas is to open in Temple Street in Birmingham's city centre on Bank Holiday Monday, August 28, according to The Birmingham Mail.
Las Iguanas, which also has a restaurant in the Arcadian, specialises in food with a Latin flavour, with the menu taking inspiration from South American, Indian, Spanish, Portuguese and African dishes, plus a range of cocktails.
Housed in the former Temple Street Social, which is part of the historic Somerset House, Las Iguanas will offer new dishes including Bolinhos de Caranguejo – crab, prawn and potato croquettes, Cuban sandwiches consisting of roasted pork belly, pulled pork, Emmental cheese and ham with sweet mustard and green pickle relish.
There will also seafood dishes such as sea bass a lo Macho, a fillet of sea bass with mussels, crayfish and prawns in a white wine, spinach, paprika and cream sauce.
The brand also offers a separate veggie and vegan menu available, gluten-free offerings and a dedicated children’s menu.
Both Las Iguanas and Jackson and Rye will join the Revolucion de Cuba as Temple Street’s new openings at the end of 2017.
