About this restaurant

Hola Chicas y Chicos!

In der Motorworld Köln, Butzweiler Hof eröffnet ein spektakuläres panamerikanisches Restaurantkonzept seine Türen. Kalifornischer Lifestyle und mexikanische Lebensfreude treffen auf die Nikkei-Küche der japanischen Einwanderer in Peru – eine spannende Fusion der trendigsten Küchen Mittelamerikas.

Tapas, Tacos, Quesadillas, Fajitas, Enchiladas, und Ceviche treffen auf loaded Sushirolls, Salate, Bowls, Burger, sowie Fleisch und Fisch-Spezialitäten. Vegetarische und vegan Vor- und Hauptspeisen fehlen genauso wenig auf der Speisekarte, wie leckere ausgefallene Dessertvariationen, Kuchen, Eis- und Süßspeisen.
Ausgesuchte Weine aus Übersee, hausgemachte Limonaden, Bierspezialitäten vom Fass und aus der Flasche, Longdrinks, Cocktails und erlesene Spirituosen aus Mittel- und Südamerika runden unser Sortiment ab.
