Ceviche (Soho)

• T have a great track record with Peruvian food
• After a nasty run in with a spatchcocked guinea pig called Ivan
• I was relieved to see that the menu was domestic pet free one
• Re quasi autistic with your social bookings
• An early dinner is a needs must to get a reservation
• Even after 2 years dishing out South American treats Ceviche is still one of the hottest tables in town
• No booking dining at the bar) with well stocked Andean canteen
• Our waiter was everything you want from a restaurant
• This was some of the best service I&rsquo
• Tequenos de Aji de Gallina (chilli chicken wanton fritters) were perfectly golden and succulent
• Bright purple cubes beetroot and topped with a couple of tangerine coloured plantain chips
• S clear this is a product of Morales&rsquo
• Love affair with the Peruvian classic &ndash
• Expertly flavoured and brought together with the sweet potato and red onion
• T quite as enamoured with the Navaja criolla
• The presentation in long razor clam shells and crowned with orange salmon roe outdid the previous plat
• Texture of the clam meat was a nice contrast to the seabass
• As soon as you got even a strand of salt saturated purple seaweed every other flavour was donkey punched to the floor
• We were recommended to eat these whilst they were still hot but I can&rsquo
• Cubes of pork belly skewered with confit pisco figs and served with a custardy sweet potato puré
• It was always going to be a hard sell for someone that thinks putting pork with apple is heretical
• The only dubious choice we made was the choclo corn cake with avocado
• It was just too dense and even with the tasty huancaina sauce there wasn&rsquo
• Ceviche deliver the best of Peruvian food with high quality ingredients
• Everything is spiced to perfection and it is certainly worth a visit
• The dishes are authentic and well flavoured
• The interior has a rustic kitchen feel to it and the atmosphere is simply fantastic
• I personally dislike the tapas style nature of the restaurant (because all I want is a big plate of my favourite dish)
• Not the Chifles as they were disappointing
• On a plate and served with a handful of soggy quinoa acting as tag along friend
• Things couldn't have got off to a better start when a pisco sour and 'Soho' cocktail were presented to us before we could say 'muy amable'
• I'm growing a little tired of hearing restaurants have a 'small but perfectly formed menu' but I can't deny that this is the perfect description of the offerings at Cerviche
• What's clever about Ceviche (Soho) is that it steers clear of guinea pig and quinoa
• Cerviche is fish 'cooked' with citrus juices
• Our triumph of the meal was having the sense to order the 'panza e higo' which was demolished in a second
• E all worked so well together they were practically doing a dance on the plate
• The 'Coctel El Tigre' is a rather more sophisticated dish
• What in Che Guevara's name is tiger's milk I hear you cry
• Tigers milk we were convincingly told by our savvy waiter is only 'tigerish' in that it's supposedly so full of vitamins that you feel as strong as a tiger after consuming it
• What is for sure is that it's a tangy
• Having pushed the boat out and challenged our taste buds with the above dish
• Lomo saltado is an absolute classic in South America
• Sliced and flamed cooked with red onions with tomatoes and 'proper chips'
• Dim exposed bulbs and glass shelves are no scare commodity at Cerviche
• Spontaneous visitors like us are invited to perch comfortably at the bar
• Whilst those with the foresight to book in advance are shown into the more spacious dining area at the back of the restaurant
• Alcohol and pork are served here
• Huddled amongst the numerous hip Soho eateries is Ceviche Peruvian kitchen
• The latino music was mellow and I really felt for a short while like I was on holiday in Lima
• Plates are for sharing and we were advised that 4 each was a good number if you were really hungry (we were
• We were unable to try some of the exciting meat dishes but luckily there was plenty of seafood and veg on offer
• The Don Ceviche (sea bass with amarillo tiger&rsquo
• Sweet potato and onion) was a popular choice from spying on the other tables
• The sea bass was fresh and the combination of tangy limes with spicy chilli created an extremely satisfying taste sensation
• Yucas (fried cassava) was served with a Huancaina sauce which was spicy and creamy
• We also tried grilled white and green asparagus (served with the same Huancaina sauce)
• This was a bit of a disappointment as it was quite a boring dish &ndash
• A different sauce could have elevated the flavours but the asparagus was cooked well
• Alongside the sea bass ceviche this was the next strongest dish we sampled on the menu
• Feta and alfalfa) was a bit bland and I probably wouldn&rsquo
• T order this again given that there are so many more exciting items on the menu
• The Choclo corn cake was warm and fluffy and brought around a nice balance when eaten with the tangy ceviche
• Grilled red mullet skewers were soft and flakey and served with a rich peruvian tartare sauce
• I washed the meal down with a mocktail &lsquo
• Voladores biscuit with chocolate and a seeded passion fruit mousse
• The presentation was superb and each element of the dessert complimented the other
• Very simple setting with a relaxed vibe
• Because it meant we were attended really well and efficiently by the bartender
• The ingredients are nice and fresh
• The presentation is nice as well
• Lime and bitters which was a bit of a twist on the classic Moscow Mule before switching to Sarita's Miracle cocoa infused pisco
• We started with marinated octopus and chorizo skewers which were out of this world divine
• Flame cooked beef fillet with chips (had to be done) and two of the classic ceviche dishes
• 'Ceviche' itself is fresh raw fish
• Perhaps not one for those who are a little funny about these kinds of things but we went for the Don Ceviche (fresh seabass ceviche in amarillo chilli tiger's milk
• Whilst the scallop dish was a lot more basic and distinctly fishy
• We ordered practically everything on the menu the cheese and chard tequenos were particularly good
• The boys loved the confit duck with coriander and dark beer rice
• The corn cake was an interesting spongelike bread made savoury with raw tomato and onion
• The service was good and quick
• The decor's very colourful and fresh with washes of blues and the 'being a little bit different' added an extra component
• We agreed we probably wouldn't go back but it was a great place to try
• South American cuisine is having a moment and if you want too want to jump on the bandwagon
• A quick look at the pictures above will tell you how much attention is paid to presentation and coming here is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the stomach
• It is always full and so is lent the impression of intimacy
• My favourite part of the meal is the Pisco Sours the bartenders at this establishment know what they are doing
• My only bugbear is the difficulty of securing a table at a normal dining hour on a Thursday
• A couple of times in the past I have left my name at the front desk for a table but never received a call back it's a good thing Chotto Matte is around the corner
• My childhood exposure to unfrozen fish was rather limited
• Arrived and was instantly seated
• Fortunately Ceviche is a good successor
• S been nearly 10 years since I visited Peru and I remember eating very well there and was particularly fond of the choclo (corn) based dishes and Pisco Sours
• S got that cool Soho vibe with dark wooden floors and dark wooded tables with bright contrasting walls dotted with a few pieces of Peruvian art posters
• It fits in nicely with the trendy surroundings
• Great atmosphere and decor but the portions ( certainly ceviche) were on the smaller side
• The Peruvian drinks were great and it felt like a nice way to reminsice about my time in Peru
• Latin American food in small plates is the best way I think I can describe Ceviche (Soho)
• The waitress was very courteous and the service quick and uncompromising
• Deserts are few but the ones present are prepared and taste really good
• I know wherever Matt is the food's going to be top notch so we booked in for Sunday lunch and headed into Soho to eat all the fish
• We (I boy is still allergic to chilli) started with drunk scallops tiratido of thinly sliced king scallops
• The Ceviche cookbook is an absolutely stunning read
• (The recipe in question is pollo con cola
• Ceviche Restaurant was my first experience with Peruvian food
• The restaurant is very cool and nice and the service very good
• The ingredients used are different than what we're used and we were in the mood for trying it
• Even the toilets looked nice as they were in style of 50 60's
• Esp as there is feck all Peruvian places in Dublin
• Marinated beef heart was just gorgeous as were the cheese balls
• The don ceviche is a number one seller and not very hard to see why
• Love the vibe but the food is absolutely delicious
• The classic Don Ceviche is a good place to start
• The Italian waitress (don't remember her name unfortunately) was very helpful and friendly
• So when my parents made a trip down to London it was most definitely on our list to visit
• Not to be mistaken with the confusingly similar named Senior Ceviche in Kingly Court
• Luckily the original Ceviche were kind enough to hold our table for us as we raced down to the correct location
• The variety on offer is very large and diversified
• The ceviche is obviously mandatary option but there are plenty of alternative options for those who do not like marinated fish
• The employees are very friendly
• Only the price is a bit high for the portion sizes
• The colleagues I was dining with were all up for sharing and so we ordered a selection of nearly everything
• Delicious food I was not disappointed with the taste but super tight on the sizes
• It's has a feel Peruvian feel about the place and the staff are South American so know what they are talking about when it comes to the menu
• Have eaten in once and gotten delivery once with some hit and miss
• The savoury corn and feta cake (7gbp) with avocado is wonderful and moist
• The amount scattered throughout the cake was quite small
• Cordero Acholado (13gbp) Braised lamb shank with peruvian potato
• The lamb was not allowed to braise long enough meaning the flavor from the brown beer it was braised in to be totally omitted
• This is a huge problem with lamb shank as not only does it make the meat a chore to eat
• The collagen that is meant to be broken down and dissolved has to be chewed through as well
• The portion size here was also very small and was really not worth finishing
• Coriander and yogurt are tasty and not greasy as some deep fried things can be
• This along with the ribs and lamb chops are a must
• It is obvious to see why ceviche is a firm favourite in london
• The colours are vibrant and vivacious
• The flavours are tangy and spicy
• Ceviche had tables lit with candlelight which provided a really nice ambience
• I hadn't had Peruvian food before and I was pleasantly surprised
• We started with the Pork Chifa Tequenos which were delicious
• We then had the Jalea steamed buns were delicious as well and were like Chinese Bao
• The bun was delicious and fluffy and the deep fried bass inside was cooked perfectly
• We then had the Don Ceviche and Camaron palteado which were quite nice as well
• The lime/lemon flavours used in the curing were quite strong but the rest of the ingredients help to cut through it
• We then had the Yucas which are fried cassava chips and I would recommend trying these if you haven't had them before
• Peruvian place with not too many vegan options (I didn&rsquo
• The meet dishes are also very well made
• After consulting with the staff (very friendly)
• We went ahead with Don Ceviche
• All the dishes we had were really nice and delicious
• Great place with 2 tables outside to enjoy the sunny days
