Decimo at The Standard, London has launched La Mesa, a new guest chef dinner series translating as The Table.

It’s part of an ongoing project that celebrates one-night-only feasts with acclaimed chefs from the UK and around the world. Each edition brings a new voice into the Decimo kitchen, working alongside Head Chef Paola Meléndez and an open-fire-led menu that blends cultures, cooking styles, and stories.

To launch the series, Decimo will host a one-night-only dinner on June 17th with Susan Kim, founder of NYC’s Korean-American pop-up Doshi, and Songsoo Kim, Head of Sourcing and Development at London’s Super 8 group. Together with Meléndez, they will present a collaborative menu exploring the intersections between Korean and Mexican cuisine – two rich food cultures rooted in fermentation, spice, and deep family tradition.

Menu highlights from the one-night-only dinner include scallop and melon aguachile with jalapeño, tofu skin salad with wood ear mushroom and hot mustard, red mullet a la talla, alongside a range of sides such as kimchi, salsa verde, pickles, masa tortillas, perilla leaves, and bibb lettuce. Dessert will be horchata shaved ice with strawberries and cereal candy.

As part of the launch, a special guest taco – gochujang short rib with sesame slaw and pickled daikon – will feature on Decimo’s Lunch Taco Menu for a limited time.

Decimo’s Lunch Taco Menu is now available Fridays to Sundays from 12pm to 2.30pm, offering bold and playful takes on Mexican tacos with dishes such as Pork Al Pastor, Octopus and Paprika, Mushroom and Manchego, and Beef Short Rib Barbacoa, all priced from £7.50 per taco. Guests can also enjoy a £5 Lunch Paloma during daytime service.

The dinner is the first installment of La Mesa, Decimo’s new guest chef series. Future events will bring together chefs from across the globe for one-night-only collaborative dinners focused on bold flavours and open-fire cooking.

Set menu: £80 | Date: June 17th | Spaces are limited
