Sugar King

The space embraces its limitations with charm: a few outdoor benches, indoor standing only, music loud enough to feel like a Cuban bodeguita but not so loud you can’t talk. The Daiquiri reigns supreme in every conceivable variation—coffee-spiked, savoury, tropical—each one is a masterclass in balance. Order it with the crème brûlée. The combination of caramelised sugar and lime-kissed rum creates a feedback loop you won’t be able to break. It’s casual and crowded, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Tatler Tip:

Go on a weekday before 8pm if you want to stand near the bar rather than the street. The early crowd gets the best spot for watching the team work.
