Bambu

Located by the Plaza las Esculturas in El Viñedo is this sleek and contemporary restaurant-bar-disco. Kick back on beanbag chairs on the terraced wood decks in front, sipping mojitos that go down like Shirley Temples. The food is great – try the signature chupe de mariscos (seafood stew, served in a bread bowl). It turns into a hip nightclub after 10pm from Thursday to Saturday (it’s dead Monday to Wednesday); the crowd is cougar out one eye, young hipster out the other, all chillaxin’ to loungy vibes at the beginning of the evening that are progressively stirred into a frenetic pace by the night’s end.
