This event has now finished. Have a look at what else is on.
Two of Sydney's only hatted Mexican restaurants collaborate on a menu as part of Broadsheet Dine Out 2026. One menu, one night only.
Lottie X Maiz Newtown
For one night only, two of Sydney’s only hatted Mexican restaurants (Lottie and Maiz Newtown) are cooking side by side.
Joe Valero of Lottie and Juan Carlos Negrete Lopez of Maíz Newtown have been in each other’s worlds long enough to know when something is worth doing properly. Mexico Sin Fronteras (Mexico Without Borders) is that thing. A single shared menu, eighty seats, one Wednesday in July.
The two chefs step into each other’s worlds on the plate. Expect to see something like ceviche negro with tamarind salsa negra, duck carnitas, and jericaya de mesquite to close, to name a few. Hyper-seasonal produce, a distinctly Mexican lens, and the freedom that comes from two people who trust each other’s instincts completely.
Everything arrives shared with your table. The rooftop is fully enclosed and heated, but you’re still under the stars. It’s the middle of winter and there is nowhere better to be.
Eighty seats. One night. It won’t repeat.
