Lima in City of London, Westminster

An awesome Peruvian restaurant! We ordered a la carte and were completely impressed. Our waiter recommended various cocktails to pair with each dish, all of which went wonderfully. The dishes themselves were taste bombs. My personal highlights were the beef in coriander sauce and the super tender Iberico pork. A dream! Conclusion: absolute recommendation!

Popped in for a relaxed dinner. Made reservation in advance. It wasn't as busy being Monday evening. The host and the server were quite hospitable. I opted to ask for their recommendation on the vegetarian options - not many and most have eggs. I was informed the menu is changing around March and they'd want me to try it then. We were the last one to leave. I'd recommend it if you eat meat. Vegetarians probably skip unless you fancy some drinks

Good food, below average service

Excellent! The staff were super friendly and the food was outstanding 🤩

This is a great restaurant for anyone looking to try Peruvian food in London. The food here is more a creative take on Peruvian cuisine, and it’s absolutely delicious! They offer a lot of different menus, and I decided to have their lunch specials. The staff are friendly and take the time to explain the available menus. The restaurant itself has a modern and stylish vibe with interesting Peruvian decorations

We really liked the welcome, service, service. There is a team that is both attentive and smiling. We ordered the 5-course tasting menu and a few extras. In terms of taste, the wagyu was very bland, the octopus course was visually beautiful but cold and hard. The ceviche was delicious.

One of the best restaurants i have been to! The food is out of this world, the drinks pairing with the dinner is amazing!

Un concepto muy bien en logrado de cocina peruana moderna, frescura en sus productos, estética refinada en las presentaciones de sus platillos

We came just recently and it was good, but not brilliant. Also because the tasting menu was insubstantial we had to eat snacks when we went home. Okay experience

Ceviches? Fantastic Rib of beef,? Very good Pork? Excellent Beef fillet saltado? Below average Desert? Could have been better

Excellent restaurant. The food is delicious but what really made the experience was the service. Smooth and attentive.

One of my favourite restaurants in London, food and drink is outstanding and the team are genuinely so attentive & thoughtful

We chose this place because many of us like Peruvian food, and we were absolutely right. From the smooth communication with the restaurant manager who helped us choose the menu that best suited our budget, to the food and service in general, we liked absolutely everything. The whole team enjoyed a very pleasant evening, and the food was all very delicious. We will definitely come back and recommend this place without a doubt.

Ceviche Clasico was one of the best i've ever tasted. Especially choclo made the difference. Equally tasty was Pisco Sour. Waguy Skirt was the least exotic dish on the five-course menu. However, I liked the portion of overcooked meat. Octopus and Crab Causa was a bit disappointing portion because the crushed potato served cold didn't even taste like a good potato. I could have lived without dessert: chocolate tart and lime ice-cream didn't go well together. Then again it was a fine evening. The service was prompt and friendly. Be prepared for London prices.

I chose to spend my birthday here and I am so happy I did. Food was amazing, they perfectly catered to my gluten free friend and have us more starters. The service was honestly so warm and I felt like we were taken very good care of. We even got a Polaroid picture at the end and some digestif shots… highly recommend, thank you Lima!

Great food. Lovely attentive and engaging service.

Great food, friendly service, two tasting menus and a lá carte.

We went for the set lunch about 4pm on Saturday The service was excellent and the food delicious The sides for veg were also delicious We also tried the cocktails Really enjoyed our experience

Excellent Peruvian food, especially the ceviche.

Todo espectacular, muy buena experiencia. Menú degustación + maridaje increíble. Repetirían

My favorite Peruvian restaurant ever. Everything is amazing.

Excelente comida! El Ceviche y el Quinoto son extraordinarios

Food is not good. Not at all. Tasteless ceviche and bad wagyu. The bread is bad too. And the dulce de leche dessert has not dulce de leche. Literally. The service is fantastic though. Everyone was very kind. Paid 75 pounds per person for a very bad dinner.

Honestly the best ceviche in London. Consistently good, unpretentious and so fresh. The Wagyu beef was cooked to perfection and I loved the quinoa risotto. The cherry on top were the pisco sours - also probably the best I've had in London.

I dined with a group of friends; we all took the set menu. The food was just so bad - the ingredients didn’t feel fresh, everything was the wrong temperature (lukewarm wagyu), and the presentation was worse than food I would prepare at home. The only decent dish was the ceviche. The staff was super inattentive, missing details like ensuring everyone had a glass for wine (then not bringing one when we requested so we went to the bar ourselves). This place has really fallen off since I first ate there in 2019.

Excellent tasting menu with paired wines . Fantastic service.

We had dinner here last weekend. What a beautiful spot, with amazing staff! The service was outstanding, very attentive and warm. The food looked great, but the flavors didn’t blow us away. It was fine, not everything was to our taste however. The shiso leaf with tuna is amazing, the croquettas and quinoto weren’t very rememberable. Tuna with tiger milk was fine. Since the staff were so great, I really cannot give 3 stars, they made it 4 :). I think we might also be a little disappointed in the food because of the high price range, that maybe set the bar and expectations too high.

The place is really nice and comfy with amazing service and food. Not disappointed at all ❤️❤️. Thanks to Michele and Mafe for looking after us and the kitchen for the amazing food - so tasty and explosive at the same time. Definitely recommend it ✨✨

Lima nunca falla. Fuimos a almorzar y algunos probamos el NUEVO menú degustación que consta de: croquetas de pollo aji , ceviche (por supuesto) , cangrejo y pulpo causa, filete de falda wagyu de cocción lenta con una deliciosa salsa y una ensalada única , y de postre, un cuadrado de sobresaliente pastel de chocolate piura con trocitos de piña y coco asados! Pan casero y una deliciosa mantequilla mezclada con jarabe de algarrobo para empezar junto al mejor pisco sour de Londres. Han pasado más de 12 años desde que Lima abrió por primera vez en Londres, encabezando la moda gastronómica peruana. Siguen siendo fuertes; ahora tienen tres sedes en Londres (Covent Garden y la City) y nos han dicho que van a volver a ser internacionales.

Lima never fails. Tried the new 5 course tasting menu which was very good. Outstanding service from Mafer!

Comida no es buena, en realidad muy mala, pedimos la prueba meny y todos los platos eran malos El sofá donde nos sentamos estaba roto Precio muy alto Tan decepcionado 👎👎👎

Amazing food, excellent customer service, and value for money for the quality of food you get, exceptional presentation with a relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely come again.

I decided to only write reviews for restaurants that actually do stand out in terms of service and food, as this industry has been hit hard over the years, and Lima Fitzrovia is just one of those places. Firstly, the music was just the right level to hear people dinning on our table but not the people around. We chose from the A la Cart menu to share between us, and it was just enough. Secondly, considering they were a person down during lunch service, it was still impeccable and they were all attentive. The food was delicious, from the melt in the mouth butter and delicious Peruvian breads to the ceviche, scallops and melt in the mouth beef and lamb chops to the deserts. The ceviche had the right balance and the sauce was delicious, the corn bread reminded us of corn bread that we eat in South America. Don't forget Christmas is around the corner and if you are going to see a show or a bit of shopping then why not try here, it is near Tottenham Court Road. Thank you to the team at Lima Fitzrovia, London, you really made our Mums' birthday special.

One of the best culinary experiences I’ve had during the 10 years I’ve lived in London! Exquisite flavors, unique textures, perfect combination of tastes. The service was friendly and efficient, made us feel at home.

Food is not worth the price, quite average to poor. Ambience also not ideal, noisier than ideal

Second time i was here. Incredible as always! The Nikkei ceviche and Wagyu beef saltado reminds me of Lima, Peru.. 100% tasty!! We also tried “Tierra y Mar” set menu which has an amazing Octopus and Crab Causa! Loved it! The service excellent, we went with our 7months baby boy and they provided all the facilities :)

Lovely food especially the cerviche and dessert. Great service and very attentive staff We had the set menu. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented . They gave us free lemon cello and chocolates. A lovely evening.

Amazing restaurant and service! If you wanna explore the Peruvian cuisine as a whole definitely worth visiting. I love the vibes of this place and the service provided was amazing from every member of staff even the chef!

Great atmosphere, food was very tasty and the service was outstanding. Thank you to all the team for making my brother’s birthday so special, we will definitely come back!

We ate here a year ago and the food was exceptional, we however did not have the same experience this year. No longer the taste sensation we remembered. Even the Pisco sours was too sweet and not as sour as previously made. Overall it was ok, disappointed it was not at the same exceptional level and now just an average Peruvian fusion restaurant.

Food was average for the price point. Flavours were good, but the tasting menu requires some polishing. Octopus was very chewy and the pork lacked flavour

Amazing place, food and service!

Delicious meal, great service. Ambiance is classy and understated. Loved it!

Had a lovely delicious dinner at Lima Fitzrovia with a friend coming to London for the first time. The service in this restaurant was outstanding with a great attention to customers. Lima Fitzrovia left a very good impression on my friend with the quality of the food and the service. The food was high standard, the salmon we both ordered and the starters were a 10. The only minor inconvenience was that it was slightly loud because of the chatter so we had to raise our voices to be able to hear each other, but I would definitely come back regardless

Mixed Experience at Lima This was our first time at Lima and our first encounter with Peruvian cuisine. Given the buzz around Peruvian food, we were eager to discover it at Lima. The restaurant itself is lovely—tastefully decorated with a nice contemporary atmosphere. It doesn’t feel like you’re in the middle of the Andes, which is actually a good thing! We opted for the six-course “Clasico” tasting menu with wine pairing. Overall, it was good but not exceptional. I felt that most of the dishes (except the ceviche) lacked “energy” and tasted somewhat bland. While plating was consistently well-done, the dishes themselves lacked punch and complexity; they didn’t leave a lasting impression. By the end of the dinner, the only one I clearly remembered was the stone bass ceviche. The others faded quickly from memory. As for the wine pairing, we really enjoyed the cocktails served with the first course and dessert—they were excellent. The wines, however, were quite average. It was also a bit disappointing to never be served directly from the bottle. Instead, glasses arrived already poured, with only approximate descriptions from the server. In conclusion, I feel that this restaurant invests more in ambiance than in the food itself. It leaves me with mixed feelings; while it wasn’t a bad evening, I still felt something was missing…

We visited for my husband’s birthday with our 2 young children. It was an unforgettable experience, the food was delicious from the bread to the dessert; yummy cocktails; the staff super friendly and very understanding with the children and an unfortunate sickness of one of my sons; lovely and relaxing environment; we had a lovely surprise for my husband at the end of the meal as per my booking request. We also appreciated we were not rushed as usually at the London restaurants and it was all stress-free. The lunch menu was definitely value for money. Thanks and we’ll be back again!

45mn to order a bottle, another 30 mn to get the bottle, ridiculously small single slice of octopus in my octopus dish, left the restaurant after the tasting menu 4 of us still hungry.

We expected more, as a Peruvian living abroad I didn't find it that amazing. The quality of the dishes is certainly good, I have no doubt about that. We had the menu, fine but not outstanding, poor in taste. The service still needs to be improved, the wine etc. for the individual courses did not arrive in time. The lighting is too dark. For tourists with moderate to good knowledge of English, the pronunciation of the service staff was simply not understandable. We consumed over 400 pounds, on top of which a special tax of 12.5% ​​was added, which is apparently common in London. We didn't think this was supposed to replace the "voluntary" tip. With prices like these, you should leave the amount of the tip up to the guests instead of putting this directly on the bill. Well, we were there three times: the first, only and last time. It's a shame, Peruvian CUISINE is otherwise fantastic everywhere.

Absolutely stunning and delicious! Came here to celebrate my birthday and the service was 11/10! Everything was amazing but the Ceviche classico was my favourite. Flavours were perfectly balanced.

Excellent food and friendly, helpful staff. We will definitely be back.

Reading many of the reviews we were looking very much forward to this dinner. Expectations were high but not over the top. To sum it up we were really disappointed in all ways. The Starters: Ceviche was ok but far from being something special. The Tuna tartar was literally a teaspoon of Tuna together with something crusty what we couldn't identify. The Mains: The Salmon was burnt on one side and not more than ok taste wise. The Iberico Pork, estimated around 100 gr, together with a few potatos was OK but quite tasteless. The Dessert: A tablespoon of mousse au chocolate and Dulce di Leche also quite disappointing. Although the restaurant was quite full it is not so big. So the 3 waiters could have easily done the job. It took us 20 mins to get a second glass of wine and additional 10 mins for them to clean the table after the starters. For the total of 230 gbp incl. 0,5 ltr. Wine and two bottles of water it is totally overpriced from what you get. Can't recommend this restaurant at all and we will definitely not go there again.

The food at this restaurant is outstanding, and the atmosphere is perfect for a memorable evening. What truly made the experience exceptional, however, was the service provided by the host, Maria Fernanda. Her warm welcome and thoughtful recommendations made me feel right at home. My personal highlights were the ceviche, which was fresh and flavorful, and the Dulce de Leche miloja for dessert, a delightful way to end the meal. Highly recommend

Great food and fantastic service from all involved

This restaurant in Fitzrovia is surprising by how good it is. Really warm and friendly welcome. The food was so delicious and with a lot of different flavors. The staff as well was really helpful and gave us good advice. I recommend this restaurant you won’t regret it!

Lovely restaurant. Interesting menu which was all very tasty and beautifully presented. The standout dishes were the iberico pork and the chocolate mousse. Everything tasted great. The one "could do better" was the asparagus salad. It was a delicious quinoa and carrot salad in a fabulous sauce, garnished with half a asparagus spear( only the stem not the head) and a little bit of spring onion the name was completely misleading, the dish delicious. Wine was good and by the glass not an unreasaonable price. Will be back!

Great food and service. The only downside was that it was rather noisy and difficult to hear each other.

Visits to Lima never disappoint. Once again the work in the kitchen was exemplary and imaginative, the service friendly and efficient. A Monday lunchtime is likely to be unusually quiet in most restaurants, so the atmosphere was subdued. Nonetheless we enjoyed an excellent meal. Good luck to all at Lima as the new Shoreditch outpost opens.

My favourite Peruvian restaurant. Excellent service and excellent food.

Visitamos este restaurante basado en comentarios brillantes, esperando una auténtica experiencia gastronómica peruana, pero desafortunadamente, la comida dejó mucho que desear. Pedimos dos entrantes, incluyendo un tataki de atún y un pastel de maíz, seguido de un plato principal a base de quinoa. A todos les faltaban los sabores atrevidos y frescos que esperábamos. Los platos parecían estar disfrazados de cocina de alta calidad, pero la realidad era sosa y poco inspirada. A pesar del fantástico servicio — el personal era atento e increíblemente amable — la comida en sí fue una completa decepción. Ingredientes de mala calidad y bajo sabor fueron los rasgos definitorios de la velada, haciendo difícil justificar el precio. Lamentablemente, esta no fue la vibrante experiencia peruana que esperábamos.

Food was delicious. But service was out of this world it was amazing. 10/10 I am Peruvian so I mean it. They catered to our guest allergies and everything had so much flavour.

Locale carino, raccolto con stile moderno. Sala principale e seconda sala al piano inferiore. Cordiale lo staff di sala, brillante il manager italiano. Cucina dai sapori decisi, consiglio assolutamente il Quintero del mar davvero sublime. Il conto è in linea con i costi di Londra ma almeno ne vale la pena. Con una bottiglia da 75 sterline, il conto è stato di 120 sterline a testa. Consiglio una visita.

Superb food as always - the Iberico pork is so tender - a real treat. The Andean tubers (black potatoes) are divine, and don’t forget to order some bread. Fabulous!

Service was the best part. Really polite and attentive

Great from start to finish. Delicious cocktails. Decent wine list. All of the food was great. Service was exceptional. Friendly and knowledgeable. Loved it.

I chose this place for my boyfriend's post-birthday dinner due to its casual nature and great reviews. Having worked at 5 star hotels and attended several upscale dining experiences in the past, I wanted to take him to a down to earth, high-end restaurant and I can confidently say, our evening was exceptional. The food was incredible and beautifully presented, the staff is attentive and the atmosphere is exactly what we like (my boyfriend is somewhat intimidated by white tablecloth restaurants). Thank you for the wonderful time and for making us feel at ease. x

They really looked after us very well and the food was second to none. The other excellent reviews are accurate. Beautiful quality dishes of ceviche, ibérico pork, steak, purple Peruvian potatoes, chaufo rice and the list goes on. Though definitely London prices for the fayre, we had a reasonably priced Carmenère vino tinto to accompany, genuine Pisco sours and delicious banana rum cocktails with dessert. And I got a scoop of chocolate mousse for my birthday. We shall return at some point.

Awesome Peruvian restaurant, ultra recommended! Ceviche deliciuos

Delicious food, great service and a lovely atmosphere

Delicious food, great service and a lovely atmosphere

The food was great and atmosphere lovely, the cocktails were a little blend

Good location, good food and great service. We will visit again!

Food was ok, not brilliant. Incredibly small portions. The price is absolutely absurd for the quality / size. Came out hungry after dropping £200.

Such an lovely incident dropped into this restaurant. It’s our first experience with Peruvian food. Amazing!

Such an lovely incident dropped into this restaurant. It’s our first experience with Peruvian food. Amazing!

Wonderful restaurant in a nice part of London. The food was exceptionally good, very similar to the food I have had in the best restaurants in Lima, Peru. The service was good. We had the tasting menu which gave you a mix of flavours. The pairing drink package was also a good choice. The restaurant is highly recommended.

Great food. The host was amazing. Everything was perfectly done and 3 courses for £36 for a Michelin star dining experience. You really can't beat that. Although they don't have the star anymore, I wouldn't consider them any less. 10/10 would highly recommend.

The whole experience was amazing, the food was delicious! And the drinks selection was great

Last minute booking and as always this place delivers

Superb pre theatre meal. Great value from an awesome resto.

We love this place. We have been to Lima 7 years before when it was a Michelin star restaurant and since then it has only gotten better. Super friendly staff providing plenty of details about the menu and the preparation of the plates. Great menu with a good mix of cooked and raw food. Great alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails options. Desserts wasn’t the best but everything else was an absolute dream. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere with a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seatings. Good restaurant capacity thanks to the upstairs and downstairs seating area. Not ideal for kids and great for a night out for a couple. The miso aubergine and the black cod are absolutely amazing

Great food and service. Tasing menu with wine pairing feels imbalance due to small food portions.

Very well prepared food. They prepare very good cocktails and the staff is very nice.

Best food I’ve ever eaten! Amazing beautiful place and all the plates were incredible. Can’t reccomend it enough!

Lima is a firm London favorite for me. No fuss, all flavor and wonderful service. Great date spot

Amazing flavours, decent portions too. Loved it. Will be back again.

We had been eagerly anticipating our visit to Lima for quite some time, having even postponed our original reservation due to being stuck abroad on my birthday. The wait, however, was absolutely worth it. The set lunch menu was nothing short of stunning—a true work of art in every course, both visually and in taste. The recommendations for both drinks and food were spot on, and the service was attentive and friendly. To top it all off, the staff remembered that this visit was originally meant to be a birthday celebration and surprised me with a sweet treat. We can't wait to return—it was excellent!

First time at Lima, we enjoyed the food; fresh, colourful and tasty. The complimentary pisco sour was a nice touch. Very quiet Saturday lunchtime, so lacked atmosphere. I guess weekdays are busier. I will return.

I got really disappointed with my tasting dining experience at Lima. I go on a regular basis to restaurants and I was willing to try the tasting experience at Lima. However, I encountered an average food delivered, for the price charged. It is funny that the menu doesn’t say the price of the tasting menu, which is odd - it was 86£ btw, the portions are quite small (e.g a scallop gratinated is exactly that, one small scallop), the service too slow (3h for the full menu with 20-30min distance between every single dish). I realised other people were also complaining for the delayed service and when speaking with a friend she experienced the same, when she went there for lunch and there were only 2 tables being served. Unfortunately, not a place that I recommend.

Excellent and friendly service. Beautifully presented dishes!

Crazy charges for bread and water. The food doesn't worth the price

Very good lunch. we had to ask for the bread we ordered, and the classic ceviche was very good. I didn't like the the octopus dish - octopus was chewy and crab got lost on the dish. Both main courses - Beef and pork were very good. Rice and aubergine side was very good too. Will return for the classic dishes.

Lovely place and great food beautifully presented.

Outstanding fine dining experience! Each dish has its unique combination of flavors that are out of this world

Price didn’t make sense to me when the sauces seem to be used multiple times across meals. When one taste overpowers an entire dish multiple times it shows a lack of balance. Service was also questionable with a new bottle of water being brought (and opened) when not asking for it, and subsequently charging for it. Not what you’d expect from a restaurant claiming to be worth the prices set.

I really enjoyed this restaurant's take on Peruvian cuisine. The service was really good, and I had some nice conversations with my waiter. I ordered the ceviche, which was amazing. Overall, I would visit this restaurant again.

Every dish was a banger. All well explained by our waitress. Thank you Lima.

Been there for my birthday, had a tasting menu which was amazing. The service was attentive and the food was spot on.

Fantastic lunch. The service was amazing. Waiting and bar staff were so professional.

This was a magical experience for my senses. The ambience, the food and the chef recommendations were amazing. Congratulations!
