• Has good music and is overall quite loud
• (we celebrated my friends birthday here with her parents and had a really really good time they have group menus available)

• The Corvina Trufa (big fan of anything with truffle) which was so tasty that once we finished eating the fish and the waiter came to pick up the plate
• Asked him to leave it on the table so we could eat the remaining sauce with our spoons) Anyway
• The sweet corn salad and the quinoa salad are also worth a try
• Coya is really the type of place where you can pick a few dishes and share them with who ever you're with

• Through a little archway is the restaurant
• The ambience is cosy and novel indeed
• Whilst it feels like it is trying not to be pretentious
• The crispy prawn crackers came with a smashed avocado dip
• The pork belly was absolutely to die
• Crispy pork scratchings with melt in your mouth meat
• The food here was beautiful the portions were excellent they had all vast array of dishes which were all equally unusual and I loved the Quinoa and sweet corn ice cream

• I went for sunday brunch with a group of friends
• Start the brunch menu is an absolute steal at £
• The starters were super fresh and tasty
• My main was Chilean seabass with a risotto which was delicious
• There was a dj in the bar next door but the music was just the right volume to make it upbeat
• Tuna tartar tacos with yuzu and the smallest dollop of mayo was my favourite dish of the day
• I think that they are the ideal way of eating 'junk food' that's also low in calories
• The flavors were innovative and all dishes excellent
• Fusing Inca styling with Spanish Colonial opulence to create a hidden Palace
• Open kitchens with assado and ceviche stations and clever lighting create a stage for dining
• So I heard rumours that there was a fantastic place near Green Park
• The raw food didn't seem raw at all the sauces or the broth with each of these dishes was spectacular
• The chicken was very well cooked
• The Peruvian one was mind blowing
• Member's area is very small and noisy
• Restaurant is also very noisy
• Unfortunately they didn't find us a table in the main dinning area so we were seated in the bar area
• Then the guy how was in charge on our table did a great job in explaining the menu and putting his recommendations
• The food and service were extraordinary
• They informed me that they were making a special exception in allowing me to change the reservation within 24hours of the table and would usually have charged me £
• I found it strange that they were effectively trying to make me
• The whole place was covered with white fabric
• We ate lots of things but the best one was spicy beef because of their special grilling style
• I recently discovered this restaurant and it has got to be one of the best restaurants in London
• My experience there was exceptional
• The bartender was friendly and quite flexible with innovating drinks of your choice
• The waiters couldn't have been friendlier with recommending food choices
• The quinoa salad was my absolute favourite
• COYA (Mayfair) is a must try in London
• Remains the best if you are going for the food alone
• Eating in London is rarely only about the food
• Halloween weekend was a busy little shindig for me
• When I wasn't dressed up as either Catwoman or a vampire queen I was out for lunch
• I think I made up for it with Saturday's costume
• I have to mention that the food is great however
• The cocktails are great and the bar tenders are really great
• Ve got so close that she invited me along to her birthday dinner with some of her best friends
• The place was full and the a place was quite busy and akin to a lounge rather than a place for some conversations
• Food was good with a decent variety
• We started of with some Peruvian beer and some starters
• We then ordered the main course along with some sides and wine
• Unless you are willing to dine at 5
• I fell so much in love with this restaurant that I came to here to eat 3 times that week
• The new theme is latino inspired yet it was depicted in a very luxurious way
• The presentation was great and the portion size was really good
• The sauce that came with it had too much onion I suppose
• The squid was topped with jalepeno and some sauce I can't remember the name
• What I do remember is that the sauce wasn't rich in flavour
• Walnuts) and a bit more of the pomegranate is recommended
• The chicken was marinated and was topped with chilli pepper
• We were recommended by the staff to order this as it was their "
• It is a chocolate fondant with Coya's logos on the cake
• The ice cream that accompanied the cake was AGAIN poor in flavour
• I realised it was coffe ice cream
• I would like to note that the tables are too small for the food to fit in
• The quantity is too less for the price
• Began dishes are limited tasty but not out of the world
• For me this restaurant is all about food
• We started our dinner with their famous Pisco Sour cocktail
• It was honestly one of the best meals I've had in London
• My Peruvian food cherry was popped at Coya and no place compares
• Had to end my london trip with a lunch at coya
• I think the london branch is the best branch
• Efficient and well informed service and beautiful ambiance with delicate lighting and acoutics and an eclectic selection of art
• We started the afternoon with pisco sours (of course) in the bar before moving to the dining room
• Our server offered to choose a selection of best sellers and specialties from various parts of the menu
• The octopus (normally a favourite of mine) served with an olive tapenade
• The next selection of dishes was primarily from the grill and all were sensational
• Crispy potatoes with spice tomato and huancaina sauce
• Seafood paella (which was the star of the show)
• To accompany the fish dishes we selected a lovely Chablis and then moved on to a Barolo with the grill dishes
• The wild mushroom dishes were really great
• Mini tacos was really nice and the brocolli and asparagus was amazing
• The amience was little too dark and found the overall place a bit cramped
• Want to impress someone with your knowledge of food and great palate
• The ambiance and vibe is 'sit and relax'
• Everything on the menu is for sharing
• We finished it with dulce de leche
• While the food is generally tasty
• The service and prices were enough to taint our overall experience
• The service was equal parts overbearing and snooty
• It was clear the staff were attempting to upsell at every opportunity
• It seemed the staff's only objective was to serve us as quickly as possible (presumably to make our table available for another lucrative sitting)
• Our plates were changed abruptly despite the starters only being laid on the table for 10 15min tops
• The waitress even attempted to clear the starters when one dish was still clearly full and as yet untouched
• The atmosphere is so chic especially in the private dining room
• Loved the live music and the staff was so helpfull and honest
• It felt like i was eating in my own dining room
• Peruvian food is amazing especially the crab tacos and maissalad
• The Chilean sea bass croquettes with red chilli was unbelievably good
• The other dishes were also very pleasing as was the chocolate dessert
• The food was decent and the venue is both well placed and attractive
• The prices were very high comparatively to the quality of the food
• To reserve it was complicated
• 15 for two hours only as the place is full and after negotiating
• When we arrived the place was half empty
• We had different orders and once of them was a well done beef which had a bad taste and when we told our server
• The reply was it was well done and this is the reason of its bad taste
• The set lunch menu is a deal at £
• The journey began with the Ensalade de Quinoa (Quina
• Pomegranate) which had a real sharpness to the dressing and a really good dish to cleanse the pallet and also the portion was big enough to also have as an accompaniment to the main
• Sesame) cooked to perfection with a nice crispiness
• The final accompaniment we had was the broccoli which was to die for
• Given the lunch time deal I was surprised by the portion size and although there was some fat and not the best cut of beef I have had the marinade was at the top of my list
• Even though this was a lunch with sharing plates still ended up spending around 2 3 hours and time flew past but still could not finish all the food
• A great selection of desserts was beckoning me but I was too full to try but next time I will not leave without trying as I could see a few on the list I would love to try
• Now as I personally do not drink means I may not be the best to advice on this but I do try to take someone along who does and likes seafood more than me so I am able to give a more rounded review
• So I ordered the Inti which consists of passion fruit and pineapple with vanilla syrup and coconut puré
• This is probably on of the best non alcoholic drinks I have had and such a great blend of refreshing flavours
• T usually like coconut but love this it is a testimony to the mixologist
• Consistent from the last time and the only difference it this time it was served in a simple tall glass and last time I was given a decorative container
• The sharing portions are a good size and so will be looking to visit again but I would advise booking in advance as it seems the venue is always busy
• 125.00 for two with just two non alcoholic cocktails
• They make their dishes from a combination of the best unexpected ingredients like crab and purple potatoes with vegan cheese and butternut squash
