OpenTable's Dine London pop-up restaurant invites people in London to one location in order to experience the tastes of British, Italian, Greek and Mexican cuisine. The pop-up experience encourages diners back into London with themed areas that match a small complimentary tasting menu, plus a glass of wine or a soft drink.
While the essence of Mexican cuisine is captured by pulled chicken tacos (or the gluten-free and vegan-friendly adobo pulled jackfruit tacos,) the Greek menu items include options like chicken souvlaki and stuffed vine leaves. Brits will also find themselves right at home with options like traditional fruit scones and fruit tarts, while diners will feel as if they've been instantly transported to Italy with dishes like Aperol compressed melon and truffle mushroom arancini.
