Tate Modern Restaurant and Bar

From 25 June to 31 August, Tate Modern Restaurant presents a limited-edition menu created by acclaimed chef Santiago Lastra, inspired by Frida Kahlo: The Making of an Icon.

Available for a short time only, the menu offers a bold interpretation of Mexican flavours and can be enjoyed as lunch or as part of a special exhibition and dining experience. Early booking is strongly advised.

‘La Casa Azul – Heritage Tomatoes Ceviche Tostada’
A playful, interactive opening course inspired by Frida’s iconic home. Guests paint their own tostadas with a vivid blue salsa, which transforms from blue to pink with a squeeze of lemon — creating an edible artwork that reflects her spirit of creativity and individuality.

‘Frida’s Mole – Short Rib Tamal’
Centred on mole poblano, one of Mexico’s most important and symbolic dishes. Paired with slow-braised short rib and wrapped in a delicate tamal, this course draws on time-honoured indigenous techniques and reflects the complexity of Frida’s relationship with Diego Rivera.

‘Viva la Vida – Buñuelos & Watermelon’
A vibrant final course inspired by Kahlo’s last painting. Crisp buñuelos are paired with a multi-layered ice cream evoking the taste of watermelon, celebrating vitality, resilience and joy.

Short Rib Tamal
At the heart of this dish is mole poblano, one of Mexico’s most iconic sauces, made from a complex blend of chillies, spices, nuts and chocolate. Paired with slow-braised short rib and wrapped in a delicate tamal, it celebrates indigenous culinary traditions while reflecting the layered relationship between Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

Buñuelos & Watermelon
A vibrant final course inspired by Kahlo’s last painting. Crisp buñuelos are paired with a multi-layered ice cream evoking the taste of watermelon, celebrating vitality, resilience and joy.
