Ballyhoo is lively, fun and fiery with its combo of South American and Mediterranean flavours that pack a punch and have your taste buds dancing from the first bite, writes dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON.

The latest edition to the Parliamentary Triangle on The Lawns of the Lobby, Ballyhoo sits proudly beside a casual garden bar and takeaway Rosa’s, and the fine-dining Japanese restaurant Koto.
