Innovative Menu

The Mexican inspired menu provides innovative flavours that are cooked over charcoal, while our carefully curated margaritas and wine list complete the situation. Our chefs pride themselves in delivering zingy, authentic and ‘down to earth’ dishes using techniques that make the fresh local produce burst with flavour while showcasing the modern Mexican cuisine. From our Guacamole and Tacos to our Ceviche and charcoal grilled proteins, every element of Polola’s food is eye catching and tantalising.

Craft Cocktails

When it comes to our drinks, Margaritas is what we do. Each flavour of margarita is strategically matched to a top-quality tequila that compliments the base notes of the drink. This creates balanced, tangy margaritas with a touch of sweetness that can tempt even the most unlikely tequila enthusiast. Alongside the margaritas we have a house cocktail list that is crafted using artisanal techniques, other premium spirits and unique ingredients that will perfectly suit anyone looking for a non-tequila cocktail option.

For those who enjoy wine we have a treat for you! Our wine list, while not listing the commonly expected varietals does have a wine to suit any palate and are all hand selected to ensure they deliver. While still meeting the requirements of a restaurant wine list, the idea of the wine list at Polola was to introduce our guests to some brilliant and often lesser-known wine varietals in a fun and approachable way. While you may at first notice the absent of the traditional wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Shiraz – trust that we have developed a list that may have you discovering a new favourite wine!
