Casa N.O.M Bar y Restaurante

Overview

After tackling South American fare with Greville Street's White Oaks Saloon and recreating the Southern Cali taphouse experience with Silverlake Social, the 2 Sons Group then started up its own mezcaleria in Prahran: Casa N.O.M. Bar y Restaurante.

Sitting just across the road from its oldest sibling, this mezcaleria and restaurant is dishing up an authentic taste of Central and South America, with a focus on fine booze offerings from all across the regions.

Here, a diverse lineup of mezcal reigns supreme, while strong collections of tequila, rum, pisco, aguardiente and cachaça showcase Latin America's broad-ranging spirits offering. You'll also spy an impressive rotation of imported craft beers and lots of unique in-house cocktails, like the El Resucitador — a blend of zesty citrus and sweet smoky flavours.

The food menu is also replete with traditional Latin American flavours, kicking off with punchy snacks like loaded corn chilaquiles, and Spanish-style croquettes stuffed with pimento cheese, pulled pork and jalapenos. You've also got a stack of tacos, quesadillas, empanadas and arepas — made for mixing and matching to create your own Latin American feast.

A playful frozen margarita pie and guava doughnuts round out the food offerings at Casa N.O.M. Bar y Restaurante, best paired with a sipping mezcal or pisco sour.
