A Mediterranean restaurant and cocktail bar named Mielo is preparing to open its second establishment in Hampstead. The new venture will occupy the former Cote Brasserie site located at 83-84 Hampstead High Street. This property has been vacant since August 2024. Mielo's first location is in Marylebone.

Mielo offers a fusion of Italian, Spanish, and Mediterranean cuisine, drawing inspiration from regions such as Sicily and San Sebastian. The menu is expected to feature steaks, seafood, stuffed pasta, and flame-cooked meats. The bar will serve house cocktails, including a gin and rose mix called "Good Girl" and "La Luna", made with basil and cucumber. The restaurant's designer, Maral, who was involved in the first Mielo in Marylebone, is overseeing the Hampstead project.
The building and its history
The building at 83-84 Hampstead High Street is a Grade II listed property. It is described by Historic England as an early 18th-century pair of terraced houses now housing a shop and restaurant. The French bistro chain Cote closed its Hampstead branch in August 2024 after 14 years of trading, leaving the site empty. No planning application has been submitted for the Mielo site, according to reports.

A worker involved in the refurbishment of the site told the Ham&High that they anticipate the restaurant will be ready to open by Christmas. The exact opening date has not yet been announced by Mielo.
