GENIUS: Local Restaurant Pairs Dinner With World-Cup Countries, As They Play

This restaurant is really putting its hand up as one of the most creative and fresh new venues to complete your World Cup experience in style. Sure, your couch may be comfortable but this fine-dining-cum-bistro atmosphere is unmissable.

With its unique style of a fusion between fine-dining and homely bistro, handmade crockery (made specifically and exclusively for them) and incredible service, Mondiall at the V&A Waterfront has revealed another brilliant concept for the World Cup this year.

It is all very well to buy the shirts and the flags of the country you are supporting, but usually you want to pair that with a good old beverage from that country. It is not the complete experience and you ARE missing out.

No longer! This genius special, hatched by the brilliant team at Mondiall, will now pair your dinner with the country that is playing for a much more rounded experience. You will get a country-themed tapas, main course and drink, and there are two options for each match – obviously depending on which teams you feel like indulging that day.

Tonight is the perfect night to try this out – it’s Friday, the weekend awaits and you deserve a treat after a VERY long week. Spain and Netherlands are on the cards and you deserve to kick back with a little sangria and Spanish decadence while you wait for the game to start.
