The cult Parisian restaurant lands on Charing Cross Road this June—expect agave-soaked grills, tableside guac, and unapologetic flair.
London just got a serious dose of Latin swagger. Parisian sensation Tigermilk is opening its first UK location on 12 June 2025, bringing its high-energy, flavour-packed brand of Latin American dining to 127 Charing Cross Road. Already a hit across France, this fast-growing restaurant group is known for turning up the heat with bold interiors, generous plates, and a love for Latin America that’s felt in every bite—and every sip.
Founded in 2019 by Nina and Alexis Melikov, Tigermilk has become a cult favourite with ten buzzing locations across France and over 3,500 guests a day. Now, it’s London’s turn to experience what happens when Peruvian spice meets Mexican soul, layered with French flair and a riot of colour, music, and mezcal.
From Peru to Mexico — With Zero Clichés
This isn’t your standard Latin American ‘inspired’ eatery. Tigermilk dives into the flavours of Peru, Mexico and beyond—without falling into tropes. The dishes are bold, festive, and generously portioned, designed for sharing and savouring.
Highlights from the menu include:
- Chipotle-marinated T-bone steak, soaked in agave for 12 hours
- Cochinita pibil tacos, rich with achiote and citrus
- Dorade ceviche with strawberries, fresh, zingy, and surprisingly balanced
- Tableside guacamole, hand-prepped with flair
- Rocoto-glazed lamb shoulder, dramatic and designed to share
Every dish brings the heat—but with thought, heart, and exceptional ingredients. Think MSC-certified fish, free-range meats, and market-fresh produce, all dialled up to celebration level.
Save Room for the Finale (Trust Us)
Desserts at Tigermilk aren’t just an afterthought—they’re a full production. There’s a towering maracuyá tiramisu with four layers of passionfruit and cream that’s practically begging for a photo op. And then there’s the dulce de leche cheesecake, unapologetically rich and addictive. Good luck choosing just one.
Mezcal, Margaritas & the Agave Wall of Dreams
No Latin feast is complete without a little liquid mischief—and Tigermilk’s drinks list delivers. Expect:
- Mezcal mules, smoky and sharp
- Hibiscus margaritas, floral and flirty
- A signature Tigermilk Spritz, made with yuzu and pink grapefruit
- Over 250 bottles of tequila and mezcal lining a glowing back bar
If agave’s your thing, this is your new happy place. And for those leaning wine, Tigermilk champions independent producers from France and South America.
Step Into Tigermilk’s Theatre of Latin Luxury
The new Charing Cross Road space spans two dramatic floors and is a visual feast designed by Studio Leche with interiors by Christie Ward, formerly of Soho House. Think faded grandeur meets tropical maximalism: white and red marble floors, mirrored ceilings, cascading greenery, and a sweeping open kitchen to showcase the action.
Inspired by old Cuernavaca estates, the vibe is both decadent and welcoming. It’s not traditional. It’s not trying to be ‘authentic.’ It’s bold, chaotic, soulful—and full of life.
At the centre? A long, curving bar that stretches out beneath the mezcal wall, setting the stage for nights that start with ceviche and end with tequila shots (or maybe the other way around).
What to Expect: Big Food, Bigger Energy
Tigermilk isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a mood, a movement, and an invitation to ditch quiet dining for a full-blown fiesta. It’s for those who crave big flavours, bigger portions, and cocktails with serious intent.
And the best part? For all its drama and detail, the prices are shockingly gentle.
So grab your mates, forget your calorie count, and prepare to fall headfirst into the Latin vortex. Tigermilk’s ready for London. The only question is—are you?
