Peruvian restaurant review London | Glamour UK

Coya Mayfair Party Brunch Review: A Luxurious 4 Hour Peruvian ...

The restaurant is gorgeous, the bar is inviting, the food is delicious and the staff make Coya the destination restaurant it is today.

Priced at either £65 for an alcoholic package or £50 without, our brunch experience started in the Coya Mayfair bar where you can drink yourself happy for 1.5 hours.

Avocado and ingredients were mixed and smashed freshly at the table to create a lovely guacamole, tossed crunchy corn and a basket of freshly baked breads.

In the centre of the restaurant is a huge colourful table packed with small bows of ceviche tiraditos and Peruvian salads which you can help yourself to until there’s nothing left.

With barely any room left we still managed to polish of the rest of the food left on the table.

Coya restaurant review: shining a light on deepest, darkest Peru ...

When the Peruvian migrant Paddington Bear arrived in London 59 years ago last week, his country’s food was unknown to the majority of British diners.

US food critic Eric Asimov describes Peru’s fast-growing fare as “one of the great cross-cultural exchanges of all time”, having absorbed influences from almost every continent over the last 500 years.

Mayfair restaurant Coya’s interpretation of Peru’s fascinating fusion cuisine is both authentic and upmarket.

Things get immediately and spectacularly back on track when our mains arrive – the restaurant’s famed “iron pot”, the Arroz Nikkei, and a tiger prawn dish, the Langostino Tigre.

And the high-quality cookery on show at Coya makes it clear why Peru’s cuisine is neither so deep, nor so dark as when Paddington first arrived.

Coya, London: Restaurant Review

Coya Restaurant and Bar London | Piccadilly Restaurant and Bar ...

Coya is a smart Peruvain restaurant and bar located in the glamorous heartland of Mayfair.

The brainchild of Arjun Waney, this ceviche and pisco haven will be serving up the best in Peruvian cooking to Londoners, who seem to have fallen into the fashionable cuisine already in 2012.

Don't let the members only areas put you off, the restaurant and a bar area are available to the public and are well worth a visit.

A flavourful addition to the Mayfair bar scene, Coya is bound to be another Peruvian success story in London.

To see what happened when the New Bar Spy went down to Coya ahead of the crowds then have a little read of the DMN blog.

Fay Maschler reviews Coya | London Evening Standard

ES Food Newsletter In the war — restaurant gossip that may come as news to them — between Richard Caring and Arjun Waney for the monopoly of Mayfair clubs and restaurants, Waney has launched the latest salvo with the opening of Coya on Piccadilly.

The ground floor bar and terrace is a member’s club whilst the 100-seater basement restaurant is open to the public.

Ceviche (marinated and diced raw fish), tiraditos (thinly sliced raw fish) and small skewers of grilled meat and fish called anticuchos appeal to the dainty eater with a handspan waist, and pisco sours please everyone.

The extensive dining area resembling an underfunded opera set has at one end the parrillada (charcoal grill) and in the middle a ceviche and tiradito bar with seating that looks too low for comfortable eating.

Ceviche of sea bream with Amarillo chilli, crispy corn and coriander and a punchy tiraditos of yellowtail with green chilli, coriander and lime were thoughtfully assembled and pretty as pictures.

Coya, London W1, restaurant review - Telegraph

Coya looks like the kind of place you'd go to get killed in a Bond film – the bar area is densely wooded in the style of a Peruvian chequerboard (so they say; some things you just have to take people's word on) and the lighting is nefarious and a bit thrilling: low-hanging lanterns, giving off more atmosphere than light.

The starter section was split into four (skewers or anticuchos , ceviches, tiraditos – like ceviches only with a Japanese influence – and 'dishes that are small').

This was inventive, witty even, and I loved it – the ice cream had an unusual density, which gave it a velvety finish; perfect against the light sundae.

D, whom I appear to have ignored, but only because he agreed with me on every dish, had chocolate fortunato (£14) with ground almonds and a white-chocolate ice cream.

In the signature chicharrón, slow-cooked pork is teamed with sweet potato and a zingy red-onion salsa soused with lime juice, all crammed into a crusty roll (£3.95) In homage to the gauchos of southern Brazil, this steakhouse serves its meat on large skewers, carving picanha (lightly seasoned rump), and costela (grilled ribs with a honey dressing) at the table.

This swish Mayfair restaurant was one of a few restaurants opening toward the end of 2013 that aimed to bring higher-end Peruvian cooking to London.

It looks good – think traditional Latin American aesthetic done with Mayfair money – with a central ceviche bar and an open charcoal grill providing the platform for much of the cooking.

There's a separate bar, Pisco, on site too.

Pisco sours, of course.

The food in the restaurant proper leads with ceviches and tiradito, with plates including Arroz Nikkei (Chilean sea bass with rice, lime, chilli) or pez limon (yellowtail with dashi, truffle oil and chives).
