The restaurant and bar Toro Toro went through a re development aiming for a new look with an intimate atmosphere and relaxed space that accommodates a wide range of clientele. Yet, distinct features of its South American theme have been retained to keep the transformation seamless.

With a surprising transformation Toro Toro is making a comeback with new design elements and an air of sophistication that mixes with the interior’s dynamic energy. It’s located at the landmark Luxury Collection hotel, the Grosvenor House, and offers an amazing view of the Marina. The restaurant came into existence after well-renowned South American chef Patron Richard Sandoval partnered with the Grosvenor House.

The design team aimed to align the space with current trends, so they toned down the color accents in the ceiling, which also serves to make the onyx finishes a focal point of the setting. The cage staircases brought an urban vibe, but now visitors can see it filled with plants that radiate a tropical aura.

Designing team LW chose to upgrade the kitchen by switching from white to black textured tiles that seamlessly blend with the entrance. The finishes incorporated in the design are tactile and subtle yet luscious at the same time, be it the handwoven accent panels in the dining chairs and beautiful live edge walnut feature tables or the dark grey hand-applied concrete wall finish and warm tobacco hue timber flooring. They updated old art pieces like Kudu horn wall hangings with graphics painted patterns that display an array of colors while featuring minimalist copper and gold detailing for a hint of luxury. Despite the captivating interior overall, the artwork is a major focus here, such as the specially commissioned breathtaking double story murals of authentic gauchos at the entrance and the Bull inspired burnt timber art in the kitchens and washrooms. All these pieces reflect the central theme of the South American ranch lifestyle.
