Rocoto in City of London, Westminster

Located in the heart of Fitzrovia, Crudo is an unexpected treasure that offers a delightful dive into the world of Peruvian cuisine. My partner and I visited for an early dinner, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect setting for a romantic evening. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a stylish yet unpretentious décor that sets the mood for an intimate, relaxed dining experience. The service from the staff was excellent, from the moment we arrived, they were offering food recommendations, they have a good knowledge of the menu and we have been very happy with the dishes they suggested. We started with the ‘misto ceviche’ an exquisite selection of ceviche that was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. symphony of textures and tastes. The ‘empanadas’ were equally impressive—perfectly golden, flaky, and stuffed with delicious fillings that melted in your mouth. For our mains, we chose the ‘Salmon Ceviche’ which was simply outstanding. The salmon was incredibly tender and fresh, perfectly complemented by the edamame beans and nori, adding a crunch and a lovely balance of flavors. Each element of the dish came together harmoniously, creating a light and satisfying course that left a lasting impression. No Peruvian meal is complete without a ‘Pisco sour’ and Crudo’s version did not disappoint. The cocktail was wonderfully balanced—zesty, sweet, and with the right amount of bite from the Pisco. It was the perfect pairing for the meal, adding a touch of authenticity to the experience. Crudo is truly a hidden gem in Fitzrovia. With its exceptional food, welcoming ambiance, and excellent service, it’s the perfect spot for an intimate dinner or a special occasion. We’ll definitely be back for another round of ceviche and Pisco sours!

EDIT: Been back for second time now and the sushi was really good and downstairs part of restaurant is a nice moody vibes —————————————— Really nice restaurant with nice selection of food. Going back next week 🤩
