The Entourage Group unveils two exciting, new concepts

Spring 2020 - Introducing the phenomenal LALO Contemporary Mexican Kitchen & Bar and COCO Lounge & Bar. Both located at the crown of the legendary new landmark of Amsterdam, next to the RAI. Discover a contemporary reimaging of a Mexican concept with the signature twist that THE ENTOURAGE GROUP is celebrated for. After opening MR PORTER and THE DUCHESS five years ago, the group is ready to spice up Amsterdam again, by introducing a new cuisine to the portfolio. Inspired by the diverse culture, flavours and dazzling colours, Creative Entrepreneurs and Founders Yossi Eliyahoo, Liran Wizman and the group’s CEO Stephanie Pearson, embraced and immersed themselves into Mexico’s culinary cultural traditions.

Step into a sensational dining experience that encapsulates the true spirit of this, LALO. This impressive dual space fully encompasses the entire 24th floor, offering an incredible 360° experience from sunrise to sunset. The view of Amsterdam’s skyline in the unisex ‘Powder Room’ is magnificent. This transformative space blends non-formal fine dining, a sexy lounge and nightlife with a regular DJ, all with an energetic atmosphere, drinking and socialising culture, unlike anything the city has on offer.

“Exactly like nothing else. The new generation of THE ENTOURAGE GROUP.” – Yossi Eliyahoo, founder and owner of THE ENTOURAGE GROUP
