Restaurant Viajante is located in East London inside the Town Hall hotel. Viajante leaded by chef patron Nuno Mendes is a 1 star Michelin restaurant serving creative and cutting edge food. Nuno Mendes has innovative senses from his El Bulli period and he incorporates ingredients from all over the world.

The restaurant is located in a former town hall with an interior design that has Scandinavian influences. There is an open kitchen and chefs join the waiters for serving the stunning dishes.
