LOTTIE, SYDNEY

Located above the streets of Redfern, Lottie offers a refined dining experience where contemporary Mexican flavors meet an effortlessly stylish rooftop setting.  Atop The Eve Hotel, this dynamic restaurant and Mezcaleria balances tradition with innovation, crafting an atmosphere that evolves from a sunlit retreat by day to a vibrant social hub after the sun goes down.  

​

Lottie's design seamlessly blends openness with intimacy, thanks to a retractable glass ceiling that invites natural light while offering protection from the elements. This thoughtful feature ensures a comfortable experience year-round—bathing the space in warmth on crisp afternoons and enclosing it in a cocoon of soft light as the evening progresses. Earthy textures, terracotta accents, and lush greenery create an organic, inviting aesthetic that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in Mexican craftsmanship. 

The menu at Lottie speaks to the shared coastline influences of Mexico and Australia, with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. Handmade tortillas provide the foundation for many dishes, offering an authentic touch that underscores the restaurant’s commitment to tradition. Seafood takes center stage in dishes like bright, citrus-cured ceviche, while slow-cooked meats and smoky, charred flavors add depth to an already vibrant selection. Each plate is balanced, refined, and designed to be shared—a nod to the convivial nature of Mexican dining.

​

A visit to Lottie is incomplete without an exploration of its carefully curated drinks menu. The bar places agave spirits at the forefront, with an extensive selection of tequila, mezcal, sotol, and raicilla sourced from artisanal producers. Cocktails are designed to complement the bold flavors of the cuisine, whether it’s a refreshing, citrus-driven margarita or a smoky mezcal negroni. Natural and biodynamic wines also feature prominently, offering a curated selection of light whites, intriguing orange wines, and elegant reds that enhance the dining experience.
