Las Iguanas - Sheffield

Las Iguanas offers lively fun in an exciting atmosphere with clever and well designed style; offering everything from tapas, a full meal of South American food to their Cachaçaria, desribed by them as "it is an education in the art of cocktail indulgence. Cachaça, the Brazilian sugar-cane based spirit (and the third biggest selling spirit worldwide), provides the inspiration for a bar menu overflowing with fresh watermelon and berries, honey and limes, lovingly created by some of the best bartenders in the business."

Restaurant Magazine said: "The abundance of wood, stone and mosaic and the colour scheme of rich browns and reds help conjure the atmosphere of a hot, laid-back evening in Rio. It is a vibrant alternative to the minimal, sometimes anaemic décor new bars seem so fond of.

Snuggle into a booth near the bar and nibble tapas, which are reasonably priced, fresh and tasty, well-proportioned and highly recommended after shopping. Or you can people-watch while sipping cocktails based on Cachaça, the Brazilian sugar-cane based spirit.

The menu, if you fancy a more substantial meal, is mouthwatering. It is clear from what we have seen on our many visits (we had to go back for more cocktails) that older couples feel as comfortable here as gaggles of girls, families and business folk."
