Peruvian cuisine is fast becoming a major player in the exotic food section of London’s trendy restaurant scene. Hot on the heels of last year’s fusion explosion Sushisamba and the
lip-smacking Lima comes Soho venue Ceviche, named after Latin America’s traditional seafood dish of raw fish “cooked” in the juice of citrus fruits. While there is plenty of tang to the food
at Ceviche Soho, there is also a lot of traditional in the décor of the restaurant. The menu, prepared by honest-to-goodness genuine Peruvians, has been designed along tapas lines – small
plates that are perfect for a varied working lunch or for a group of friends to share around. While the ceviche, a fresh competitor to the now ubiquitous sushi, is being devoured, diners can
enjoy the old-time interior by Schneider Designers. There’s a definite fresh from the sea coastal feel to the dining area of Ceviche from its washed out blue boards, but the real
inspiration comes from the bohemian, artistically-minded Lima neighbourhood of Barranco, coupled with a fish-market style bar of zinc and white tiles where the signature ceviche is served
alongside pisco (grape brandy) cocktails.
