Day of the Dead De-Light

The Met Bar is taking a different approach to Halloween this year, by celebrating Mexico’s iconic Day of the Dead festival. Commemorated annually on November 2nd, ‘Dia de los Meurtos’, is a festival of remembrance in honour of souls departed. Colourful iconography commonly typifies the event, principally Sugar Skulls and Mexican orange Marigolds.

Taking inspiration from the occasion the Met Bar has updated the signature waist-friendly Afternoon De-Light dishes. Guests can expect cocoa nib chocolate cupcakes topped with sugar skull decoration, coffin shaped chilli-chocolate mud pies and traditional Mexican tea cakes filled with dark cherries, to the famous no-bread sandwich pots containing Mexican themed fillings, including a jalapeno foam, crayfish and tequila jelly, and chicken fajita with sour cream and re-fried bean mousse.
