Friday, 30th September – Maté

Maté is a vibrant and dramatic culinary experience offering Argentinian cuisine with a contemporary Lebanese twist. The venue provides an unpretentious environment that is both comfortable and sophisticated, drawing inspiration from the communal ceremony of drinking maté and showcasing a modern yet rustic presentation of Argentinian cuisine. The show kitchen in the center of the restaurant allows guests to view the skilled chefs using the traditional Argentinian El Asador to grill the meats to perfection.

Maté is designed to evolve from dining to a late-night music venue through musical transitions with increased intensity. The programming is based on electro tango, Mediterranean chill-out, and deep house beats. A resident DJ set completes the shift from dining to a late-night venue.
