Ceviche

Amazing Pisco Sour - great to kick off a night out. Shame not enough space at the bar it can get very busy.

I must have visited Ceviche around 10 times since it opened. I am from Peru and lived in London for over 10 years. I always missed the lack of a good Peruvian restaurant in town. Now, there is a growing number of them, so I am very pleased. Of those 10 times I visited the restaurant, 9 times I left really satisfied with the food and the service. Favourites: Don Ceviche, Alianza Lima, Corazon, Quinoa Salad, Lomo Saltado, and of course the pisco sour. Some might say that Ceviche's food isn't truly Peruvian or that it's too expensive, but what foreign food is really authentic when served so far away from their original location - having to juggle with the procurement of the right ingredients, local palates, etc. Ceviche has done a great job at presenting Peruvian food to a wide audience of people and has gone a step further, promoting our culture in one of the greatest cities in the world. Thanks Ceviche for filling that gap in the market and also for making it easier for other Peruvian restaurants to open in this beautiful city.

We have had very mixed experiences at Cerviche. Previously sitting at the bar and drinking cocktails with tapas style dishes it was fine but nothing exceptional. The latest experience however was very disappointing. We went for dinner on a Sunday evening. Firstly we were shown to a table with dirty glasses from the previous diners. Then the waitress told us they had no Cerviche - not their fault the manager told us. - the fishmonger had failed to deliver. Other dishes we tried were lacklustre or just plain poor. - but expensive. An ordered beer failed to materialise. The rear room was cramped. When we complained the manager told us that it was a Sunday night and implied we should'nt expect more. Things do go wrong in catering but I always feel that the best restaurants deal with complaints graciously - this wasn't the case here and I certainly will not be going again. I have eaten many times in Peru and always had better food than at Cerviche. I can only conclude that this is an expensive pastiche of true Peruvian cuisine. There are many better options - at Cerviche itself, the best option is to stick with the Pisco Sours at the bar and give the food a miss. By the way the star rating here seems to be distorted by the fact that the founder keeps scoring himself 5 stars !

Surprising flavors for tapas lovers! Top service with breadth of knowledge. Thanks Ceviche

I went it Ceviche without having much preconceived ideas what to expect( my Colombia friend suggested it ). I was positively surprised, and although i;m not a big fan of their marinated fish which is a very personal thing, I would definitely recommended it to someone who loves tapas, but want to try something unconventional. Service top class, worth to mention !
