You’ll find Ceviche at 17 Frith Street, London, W1D 4RG. The pisco is also always flowing, and there’s a killer soundtrack here too. Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, they do a mean street food set menu – which includes cassava fries and crispy squid jalea – and they’ve also got roasted cod, pork belly bites and a palm heart served with passion fruit and avocado cream on a chilled spicy potato cake. Ceviche, SohoĪnother worthy addition to this roundup of Peruvian restaurants in London, Ceviche was inspired by Lima’s bohemian Barranco neighbourhood and it’s the place to come when you need your ‘ fix of Peruvian spirit, food and drinks’. You’ll find Chotto Matte at 11-13 Frith Street, W1D 4RB. They’ve also got a new Marylebone-based branch which opened back in May, so this is the place to head when the original closes for refurbishments in July. For something really special, go for the Amazonian barbecue salmon – it’s paired with some pretty fantastic wine. Halal-friendly, the sashimi and king oyster mushroom tostadas are both well worth a try, and they do a mean sea bass ceviche too. Offering a variety of set menus and an extensive menu designed for you to pick multiple sharing dishes, the Soho-based Chotto Matte is a Japanese-Peruvian fusion joint – ideal for a well-deserved meal after a long day hitting the shops.
