Lima Floral is a contemporary Peruvian restaurant in Covent Garden. We adore Peruvian cuisine – Chotto Matte and Pachamama are two of our favourite restaurants – but Lima Fitzrovia, Lima’s Floral’s sister restaurant, was relegated to my solo excursion list because the menu doesn’t have much on offer for Shiima (doesn’t eat pork and only…

Chotto Matte Soho Review 2020
Chotto Matte is an awesome Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurant in the heart of Soho. I very rarely use the word “awesome” and just as rarely begin a review so forthrightly, but we love Chotto Matte. We’ve loved Chotto Matte for years, as you can see in our May 2016 Chotto Matte review (our second ever)….
Uni Restaurant Review
Uni is a Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurant in Belgravia. I used to be a sushi fiend, but then I ran out of sushi restaurants on our list and also got somewhat tired of sushi… heresy, I know ☺️. Shiima isn’t a fan of sushi but really enjoys Japanese cuisine and it was her idea to…
Pachamama East Review
Pachamama East is the Shoreditch home of our favourite Peruvian restaurant. Read for our considered thoughts, lots of mouthwatering pictures, and a video of the chic decor.
March Eats
It’s been a month already!? Well, this is our second video blog and we’ve been to 7 restaurants this week. It was quite a packed month and we were at restaurants right till the last day of March. Our usual first impressions restaurant as well as others with friends. We hope you enjoy and if…
First Impressions – Pachamama
Amen mentions we are going to Pachamama for dinner last week, no ifs or buts. This was the first time I’ve heard of the restaurant and I tend to look at the menu prior but he was adamant that there were plenty of dishes for me to enjoy. I trusted him and we headed over…
First Impressions – Nobu Shoreditch
Shiima and I absolutely love Nobu. We’ve had dinner at Nobu Berkeley Street on several occasions, celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, Eid, and New Year’s Eve. That ought to tell you something about Nobu … it’s a restaurant reserved for special occasions, and they know it. Nobu is a renowned international Japanese and Peruvian restaurant. Recently, when…
First Impressions – Señor Ceviche
I’ve been aware of Señor Ceviche for a while now, but the name led me to believe that there wouldn’t be much on offer for Shiima, because she doesn’t like fish so Ceviche would be a step too far. But we came across Senor Ceviche at Taste Of London. Although I didn’t quite enjoy the dish…
Coya Mayfair
Coya is a vibrant Peruvian restaurant in Mayfair, on Piccadilly to be precise. I must reiterate that Coya is vibrant, it almost similar to a club in terms of the vibe of the restaurant. From the large man in a suit at the entrance to the incredibly vibrant bar with live music you walk through…
Sushi Samba
Sushi Samba is a renowned Peruvian, Brazilian, and Japanese fusion restaurant located on the 38th floor of the Heron Tower, minutes away from Liverpool Street Station. I first came across Sushi Samba somewhat suddenly – about five years ago I was invited for a New Years Eve dinner at Sushi Samba last minute, didn’t have…
Chotto Matte
Last Friday (and rather peculiarly this coming Friday) we had dinner at Chotto Matte, a Japanese-Peruvian (Nikkei, for the cool folk) fusion restaurant in the heart of Soho. Chotto Matte was recommended to me by a friend, who knew of my love of sushi and my passionate search for the best Black Cod dish in…
