Great atmosphere, relax, cool, down to earth but at the same time a great place. Love the Arroz con Pato!!! Coriander rice with duck comfit!!! The Chicha is also amazing, is a soft drink made with purple maize from Peru... something great for summer.

I had an amazing meal last night. The food is fresh and delicious. I highly recommend going here for a snack, dinner, or maybe just drinks. The Piscos are outstanding. My favourite dishes were the lomo, beef heart, the little corn bits at the start too. My favourite ceviche was the don ceviche. When I eat out, I love to tast everything and Ceviche allows you to taste a few things without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is buzzy and cool, but not pretentious which really rocks my world. Enjoy guys!

What a treat to find Peruvian cuisine so well represented here in London. Ceviche is a warm restaurant filled with personality - feels like it has already been there for years. I can honestly say that I haven't eaten that well in a long time. The food is so full of taste and I found myself being adventurous with different foods without even realising! I never knew octopus was that tender and why didn't anyone tell me that barbecued cowheart is so delicious?! Friendly waiters set the tone for a lovely family get together.

Being Peruvian food lovers we got exactly what we excpected! Nice and very local Soho restaurant with some authentic Peruvian dishes. Ceviche and pisco tastes very authentic (I just got back from Peru) however beef tonge was not tender enough. The stuff was friendly and relaxed but the bill was a bit higher than in other local places. Overall, I would definitely come back for an afternoon drink and Ceviche!

I'm Peruvian and I love this place. Food is authentic and with a modern feel to it. We had the Don Ceviche, Yucas Fritas, Arrocito, Lomo Saltado and Arroz con Mariscos (Seafood with rice) with Lucuma Ice Cream - ALL delicious. Beer: Cuzquena (of course!) and my wife had a Pisco Sour.... We will return for sure....

I ate here the other week and regardless of the fact that they had just opened, it seemed that the place had been there for years, they had everything down to a tee! the food was exceptional, particulaurly the corazón and the seabass ceviche. there was a fresh and excited atmosphere and all the staff were so friendly and efficient! Also, great thing is that it is a sharing experience and so you get to taste everything whilst immersing yourself in the Peruvian culture. Great work Ceviche! Everyone should check it out!

i love the location and the staff. The staff are most welcoming, and thanxs to them, i forgot about the let down of the food and drink. the portions are far too small, and that was not ceviche. the leche de tigre from the ceviche was far from what it should be, it tasted like water in salt and pepper, and it def didnt have the right colour, it looked far too dark and bland. The pisco were not the best either. the Chicha pisco was far too strong. I think they need to just work a bit on the balance of booze. too much booze in a cocktail does not mean is much better, and that was the case in this situation. Im sure within time Ceviche will be a great place to hang out and enjoy good Peruvian Food, but at the mo, I dont believe they are there yet.

I absolutely love this place. The menu is so refreshing compared to anything I've tasted in London. Each dish is such a delight, the portions are not big enabling you to order a few dishes per person (they recommend four) which is my favourite way of eating. The Don Ceviche and Corazon anticucho blew me away. Although Pisco is the only spirit you'll find behind the bar, you don't feel at any point that you're freedom of choice has been compromised. I sampled the Pisco Sour and Soho cocktails, both exceptional whilst completely different in taste. London finally has a restaurant which Peru can be proud of.

We had a family sunday lunch at Ceviche today for mothers day. It was delicious and a really special lunch for our family, Dad enjoyed a Pisco sour, Mum enjoyed the Ceviche, I loved the Duck and the kids loved the Chicha Morada drinks and the Lucoma Ice cream. Thanks a million to all the lovely staff.

Ceviche had a good energy to it. The front of house was particuraly welcoming. Peruvian cuisine is somewhat new to us brits and Ceviche im sure will be a champion of this wonderfully rich and diverse cuisine. The ingredients where fresh. The deserts where delicious. Pisco and Chicha Morada are really worth trying out. The artwork on the walls is fun and quirky. Being a vegetarian they had a well balanced menu. I look forward to going back.

Ceviche is buzzing with activity, a friendly staff and lively music - perfect ambiance! Try the Pisco Soho - - heaven! Food is colourful and flavourful and fresh. Unique menu with beautiful combination of ingredients. Must try it!

Went to CEVICHE yesterday for work lunch - really amazing food. As a Peruvian I was hoping for a high standard - and we got it! Ceviches were great, but the prize goes to the octopus anticucho, really good. Also, the pisco sour was just like back home and with a kick. Will be coming back often. All my other friends loved it and the bar has a great vibe to it. Highly recomended.

Food quality is good, but extremely pricy. The sizes of the dishes are very small. The restaurant concept is similar to Wahaca but the prices are a different story. About the service, although waiters were friendly the manager kept telling us to be quiet when actually we were just enjoying a normal night in a Soho restaurant.

This place is INCREDIBLY expensive (it's more like £120 for 2 people with drinks, not 80£ and the dishes are tiny. The food is tasty but expensive. The other issue is that despite creating a nice, boisterous vibe the manager was quite rude with a group of just 6 people with any laughing/talking. If you want people to spend money and you create a nice vibe, then let people enjoy the atmosphere!!!

nice flavours but extremely expensive and the worse is that you don't realised until the bill comes, you have to go with at least a sandwich already in your stomach...the tapas concept may be a good idea to introduce Peruvian food to some (although nowadays many people knows) but the prices are high to pay....some of the main dishes are not set up like in peru and you have to pay extra for things to have them complete...Lomo Saltado without the rice....come on!!!

I tried this restaurant with some friends - great location, great atmosphere, great tasting food and great Pisco Sour, however this is definitely more of a bar with light bites then a restaurant. And for the size of the portions it is expensive - £11.50 for an entree sized Lomo Saltado without rice. I spent £35 and I was left hungry. The other new Peruvian restaurant in Islington called Tierra Peru is definitely better value if you are looking for a meal and the menu has much more variety.

I ate here with 5 friends on Monday. Great atmosphere and location, more like a bar then a restaurant though. Food tasted really good but for the price the portions are tiny and the menu is very limited, though the selection of ceviches and anticuchos was good. I have to say that the other Peruvian restaurant which opened recently in Islington called Tierra Peru has a wider choice of dishes, the quality is great and much better value for money.

As peruvian I had very high expectations for this restaurant, came with 7 other friends which half of them had visited Peru with me so they know how good our food is (and other peruvians too). We weren't dissapointed! the Pisco sours definately the best in London! they compete with some in different restaurants in Lima. The food was very tasty - the best probably the arroz con pato, anticuchos and the quality of the meat (lomo saltado), things they probably need to improve is the tequenos and tiradito (should be more creamy). The staff was really friendly but still seemed a bit nervous which is understandable as they are still going through the soft opening until March 12, but at least they were trying to be nice, none of us experience 'the bad behaviour' mentioned below. The only negative comment is the main dishes sizes are not aligned with prices, (choclo - too expensive and rice is extra for lomo saltado) maybe they should check the pricing of Wahaca as an example as we though 50£ pp was a bit steep... Overall we had a great time and food was awesome!! Our London friends have already been there twice this week!

the quality of the food is awesome. The size of main dishes is not aligned with prices. You end up paying the price of main size dish for the size of a sample or tapa. The service seem to still be in training but with a good attitude. Again is difficult to price an informal environment at 50 P/p but the the food in really really good.

Last night we went to the soft launch of Ceviche, what an extraordinary night! It was six of us and we ALL loved the food! As a Peruvian, I have very high standards in terms of our cuisine, I have to say Martin from Ceviche has got it right! Don Ceviche and Alianza Lima ceviches are amazing, Yucas in huancaina sauce, Causa Mar and Lomo Saltado were mouth watering, and the desserts… Suspiro a la limeña de guanabana and Lúcuma ice cream… to die for! It was about time to have a high quality Peruvian restaurant in London, and Ceviche is finally HERE! Highly recommended. Thank you for your personalised attention Martin, we had a fab time! Karim
