In a grand celebration of its 10th anniversary, hospitality group Black Sheep Restaurants is kicking off a series of summer events and limited-edition dishes. During the next few months, fans of the group’s most beloved establishments can walk down memory lane and order some of the restaurants’ most celebrated dishes, from the Keema Pau at one-Michelin-star New Punjab Club to Mario Carbone’s baked clams and Fukuro’s yakiniku beef udon. Other initiatives include Black Sheep’s Summer Festival, which will see the return of La Vache’s Le Disco Brunch and an improved version of Buenos Aires Polo Club’s Rock Night; and the first ever Black Sheep Gala in September.

First opened in 1991, the Island Shangri-la’s Lobster Bar and Grill is celebrated for its commitment to elevating classic cocktails and recipes. This summer, the bar is offering 13 new cocktails that connect its present to Shangri-La’s historic roots. Divided into three categories — Expeditions, Tales of Wonder and Treasure — and presented through an illustrated magazine-like menu, the cocktails are also inspired by the hotel’s interiors. Highlights include Midas Touch, made with Shangri-La’s Lapsang Souchong tea, Highland Park 18 Year Old and a hint of banana; and Green Pixie, a creative spin on the classic fairy cream with a dash of absinthe and cacao.
