Mediterraneo's charcoal grill cooking method enables most of the fat to drip away and provides a delicious, healthy meal witha distinct flavour
imparted by 
the wood smoke. Not only the best ingredients are required but also the chefs' attention to details is counted on to ensure the food quality and consistency.
High ceilings, light, rendered stone walls, colourful modernist impressions of a Spanish bullfight and the soft yet complex sounds of the flamenco guitar in the background inspire thoughts of a southern European holiday… The restaurant releases the carefree vibes of the Mediterranean in every way. From the cosy ambience of the bar and restaurant to the Al Fresco style of dining in the courtyard and the exclusive corporate function room upstairs, Mediterraneo is a delightful place to enjoy a meal.
