Lima (Fitzrovia)

• Me the best dish here was the sea bream cerviche full of hot and spicy flavors
• The beef main course was delicious too and to top it all we had a dulce leche ice cream
• A must visit for the relaxed atmosphere coupled with some good food
• The seafood was very well prepared and was perfectly marinated as well
• The portions served were also quite large
• The entire meal was absolutely delicious and the prices were also in a fairly competitive range
• The service was quick however Lima (Fitzrovia) becomes very crowded during lunchtime
• I could find no fault with Lima (Fitzrovia)
• You should go here if you like Peruvian food with a modern twist
• I had the octopus and quinoa which was beautifully present and an absolute delight
• The pork dish and the Amazon fish were equally amazing among others
• The portions that they provide are not that filling if you are not ordering main dishes
• Except that food was very delicious and staff was also very good
• The food was full of flavors and the dishes were juicy which personally I like
• They provide you with some great fusion in cocktails too which you must try
• Few of us went for chili cocktails which were amazingly electric but be warned do not consume chunk of the fresh chill's on the edge of the glass
• We went for a mix of sharing plates and every morsel was mouthwatering and delighting
• The food is rich in flavors and it is quite difficult to get these huge portions at this price in London
• The service is also good enough
• I would recommend Lima (Fitzrovia) to have a good time with your family
• The staff of the majority of restaurants is very happening and possess a pleasing personality and also
• The service provided by them is mind blowing
• Majority of the restaurants are excellent value for money with amazing decor and ambiance
• This is a very interesting little place that is well known for its colourful food and service
• Both of which were exquisite and tasted grand
• The service was excellent and accommodating
• Whilst the food's presentation was beautiful and perfect
• A place which is a perfect melange of authentic cuisine and cultural exploration of two cuisines at its finest
• Lima (Fitzrovia) has a japanese authenticity and roots with perfectly merged itself with flavors from Peruvian cooking and HOW
• Ordered Beef and Fish which was delighting
• The taste was authentic and very exquisite but the limited menu was a drawback
• The portions served was pretty less and it won't qualify as a great value for money
• If you want to go to place which is quiet and have a good time then this is not a place for you
• My experience at this restaurant was pleasant and memorable
• The only downside is that the staff wasn't very well versed with the dishes and their ingredients
• Lima (Fitzrovia) is worth visiting
• My colleague's mashed potatoes were served cold
• The service was exceptionally bad and the waiters were confused and inhospitable
• I have been to this restaurant only once with my partners and have mixed feelings about the place
• The servers are also friendly
• The portion sizes are however adequate and the prices are reasonable
• They are really innovative and food on offer was quite innovative and surprising at the same time
• I would suggest you to go with the chocolate desserts
• The entire meal was a sumptuous one and came at fairly reasonable prices
• The atmosphere was quite relaxed and my whole experience was nice
• Lamb and fruit cream were better than other items
• Everything a bout this restaurant is appreciative and delighting
• The decor and atmosphere were perfect and worth a watch
• This eatery is close to of their standards
• Delighting food but in my opinion if you are looking to Michelin standard you can find other place at obviously HIGHER prices
• If you are looking something different and soothing to both stomach and pocket this is the place to be
• The interiors were too dull for my liking but the music was decent
• The portions are a bit tiny and not very filling
• The service too is nothing extraordinary
• The worst bit was the lack of cleanliness this time around
• The tables were dirty and sticky
• We had a lovely experience at Lima (Fitzrovia) because it is a combination of awesome food and perfect service
• We had ordered the daily special of lamb and asparagus which were well cooked with their Peruvian accompaniments
• Especially our waiter who was quite knowledgeable and helped us in selecting our menu
• The desserts were quite good as well
• Especially the cacao porcelana which is quite smooth and heavy
• I recently visited this upscale place with a couple of friends and had a decent experience
• The food was excellent and was cooked to perfection but the quantity was too less leaving us wanting for more
• The ambience was quite good
• The service was also pretty decent
• The flavours are unexciting and the food is not that good
• The sea bream ceviche was the only dish that I enjoyed
• Except that anything else was hardly authentic
• The crab was over stuffed with potatoes and was pretty bland and boring
• The pisco sours are pretty good and I only liked the cocktails
• We spent almost 220 pounds between three people with a botlle of house wine (£
• Service on this occasion was really bad
• Self service is not what I really expect from a Michelin star restaurant
• Staff entering tables and chairs from outside with customers still in
• The crockery was shaped in the way I would imagine Peruvian crockery to be shaped like
• THe inside of the restaurant was very well lighted
• Warm cozy couches sprinkled with I would imagine to be Peruvian pillows
• Cubes of bread were brought forwards
• Over all it was a very hit and miss meal
• My friend and I were given a great corner table
• The interior is not obviously glamorous but it is instead designed to be fun and comforting
• In true South American style there are splashes of bright colour across the interior with contemporary seating and artwork on the walls
• As a result dining at LIMA is always an experience worth looking forward too
• We started off with some soft corn bread which was soft and a slightly sweeter freshly baked bread and it was served with a dip that reminded me of a mild sour cream
• We each tried a cassava starter which was composed of a small ball of savoury root vegetable that had a fried crispy coating
• Some of the group tried the Mohika cocktail which contained vanilla and mint which was sweet and apparently addictive as they couldn&rsquo
• We had some bottled still water but the tap water was equally as good and is served with cucumber and pomegranate which infuses it ever so slightly with a freshness and sweetness
• 4.50) starter which was a little sweet
• Lovely and warm with a familiar taste of sweet corn and also a quinoa soleterito salad with tigers milk (£
• 4.50) which is a very misleading name
• Tiger's milk is not from tigers and neither is it a milk
• The red potato has quite a strong consistency that needs to be broken up with other flavours and textures and as this dish had some almost sour flavours it was well balanced and contrasted well
• They enjoyed the different sauces the dishes came in but the trouble with pretty presentation is that there is usually less food on the plate
• The suckling pig with giant corn
• In fact there is a high chance I would return to taste it again
• Paiche Amazonian fish with seaweed brown butter
• 24) and seabass chalaca with olluco tuber root
• Their only gripe once again was that there simply wasn't enough
• I only tried the biscuit with the sprinkled icing sugar as being dairy free
• I couldn't eat the ice cream but it was nice and sweet and something I would have again if I visited again
• The others tried the chirimoya mousse with crispy meringue
• Through this meal I tasted several new dishes at the restaurant which was new and exciting
• As the cuisine is so specific and unique to me it would be a rare occasion to try something different
• The prices at LIMA are on the steep side
• The portions are quite modest
• I can see why presentation as well as taste are equally important to them
• S not a cuisine that I am really familiar with and always keen to true new adventures
• Inside the decor is modern and clean with mirrors everywhere
• The wait staff are very helpful and explained every dish in detail
• It's true we Londoners are so spoiled as a result
• I just felt that perhaps this was a little of style of substance
• Some was just a bit underwhelming (not in looks but some of it was lack in the taste department) such as the fish main
• Ended up in Lima with a friend one evening
• Had heard so much about it and was so excited to go
• I was very happy with our food and overall experience
• She spent a long time in Peru and this restaurant is fusion rather than just Peruvian
• It is a modern fusion concept (which is ace) but it might be nice if this was more clear
• It is suggested that it is almost authentic
• One michelin star Lima is a testimony to the diversity of Peruvian cuisine and ingredients
• Tamarind and cheese starter was wonderfully bright
• The duck itself was tender even though it was slightly too well done
• The earthy beetroot flavour from the reduction was well balanced by the sweetness of the dulce leche
• The mastermind behind Lima is a world renowned Peruvian chef
• Realised that it was taking place in September
• We were happy the menu was quite short (2 small pages)
• As everything was unfamiliar and we struggled to decide what to eat
• The starters arrived with a little bowl of bread (olive and red pepper
• We started with two punchy Pisco cocktails (however the waiter suggested another one "
• Really impressed with the complexity of the flavours
• How the onions and citric juices were dialed down with mellow beans and the natural octopus juices
• Then we shared the black cod with corn and palm core
• Was delicious (neighbour Roka is a strong competitor though) and the duck
• The desert didn't have the right balance avocado mousse with chocolate could maybe have worked better with a lot less avocado and plenty more chocolate
• Reasonable price and I had the best pisco sour ever in London
• The fish roe with tiger's milk was very special and well presented
• While the beef was really good
• Toast campaign which is all about celebrating every moment in life
• Food and fashion ideas and encourages readers to share their own experiences with a section devoted to readers celebrations and parties
• Some of the best food I've ever tasted was in the different towns and cities of Peru
• Therefore I was somewhat horrified at what Lima presented
• It's has a Michelin star so I was expecting quality and I suppose that was there
• Perhaps they should have emphasised that this was more Modern Fusion food
• There was none of the beautifully tasty and comforting dishes or zingy and fresh tasting ceviche which is what you usually would get served up in Peru
• It was a shame for me since I really was hoping to at least somewhat enjoy the food
• Where the dishes are as pretty as they are creative
• 38 per head is a very reasonable price
• Lima is the one place I love and I really recommend a visit if you are after a taste of contemporary Peruvian cuisine crafted from unusual ingredients
• Flavours and textures and everything is absolutely delicious
• The starters are a real highlight for me
• To be fair I have never found myself to be disappointed with any of the other offerings
• The octopus olivo and lomo steak Huancaina are also worthy of mention
• As the larger dishes are just as interesting as the starters
• Not only the food was so flavorful and tasty it was a joy to look at as the presentation was just lovely
• Its also exciting to know they are planning to come to dubai
• Recently I was looking for a place in London to have a sophisticated Sunday lunch to celebrate a &ldquo
• List for ages and as soon as I knew they are offering the &ldquo
• Our cousin took us to this restaurant during our vacation and it was incredible
• The food was great and the ingredients were very fresh
