Live in the capital a good number of years and the hustle and bustle is bound to takes its toll – but new bars like the “Polynesian paradise” Kona Kai could just be what the doctor ordered. This Tiki-inspired newcomer offers an alternative night out in Chelsea, and is the place to go if you’re after chilled vibes, good tunes and some seriously gorgeous cocktails. Favourites on the menu include the Mango Bango ( a sweet treat where the vodka is tamed by vanilla gomme)…
The Lazy Afternoon (a fruity concoction with a refreshing splash of coconut)…
While you can also expect a pretty mean rum punch.
Foodwise, there’s a few seafood options in line with the Kona Kai theme – and where the Islander’s seafood salad is a delicious entree, there’s also the obvious options of burgers, steaks and chips, while if you’re after the dessert, the ginger-laced triple chocolate brownie will exceed your expectations.
So with the food and drink ticked off and the friendly bar staff dressed for holiday, all we need now is an invite to the luau! (Words: Matilda Egere-Cooper)
