Wahaca

You’ve heard of living in a box. How about dining in a box? Or, to be precise, eating in one of eight shipping containers, as part of a temporary restaurant? This pop-up Mexican restaurant and ‘dining project’is perched on the terrace of the Queen Elizabeth Hall, with 130 seats spread over two floors as well as outdoor seats (which have the best views of the river, obviously). It’s decorated with graffiti from artists around the world (with Mexican street artist Saner leading the charge). One thing is for certain: Wahaca loves a challenge. Flush with their Sustainable Restaurant Association award, they’re attemptied to build the containers up using as little fuel as possible – no gas, and barely any electricity. To see how they did it, visit their blog.
