A rooftop restaurant, cocktail bar and café open all day on the eighteenth floor. Fusion plates, a curated wine list, and a view that runs from the skyline to the sunset.
The Rooftop
270° Rooftop sits on the eighteenth floor of the Escada building, high enough that the city stops being a backdrop and becomes the room. There are two ways to take it in: the open terrace, where the view does the talking, or the covered section with its bar and softer seating, for days when you want the skyline without the breeze.
The kitchen works a fusion menu with a Latin lean: chicken mole, braised short ribs, butternut paella, alongside a grill and a handful of lighter plates. Behind the bar, the team builds signature cocktails and keeps a curated wine list; earlier in the day the café opens for coffee, pastries and breakfast, and it doubles as one of the quieter places in the neighbourhood to work.
The Room
The terrace, the bar, the darker corners, and the plates that come out of the kitchen.
