Lima Floral, restaurant review: Does Martinez's sister venture have ...
food menu drinks
The dining room is smaller than Lima's, but just as appealing, with the same Inca blue on chairs and pillars, a whitewashed brick wall and a huge glowing mural.
There's no sign of Lima's famous suckling pig or octopus dishes, but there's far more fish, and a lot more evocative names: sea asparagus, onion ashes, crazy pea.
Leche de tigre introduced a dish that turned up all over the menu: tiger's milk is a tart confusion of lemon juice, lime juice, garlic, celery, ginger and onion with mayonnaise.
Main-course lamb rump was gratifyingly simple, the meat blitzed and charred on the outside, juicy as Lucy inside, accompanied by 'eco dry' potato (which was actually neither dry nor ecologically challenged) and black quinoa arrayed like ashes – an unusual but more-ish combination.
We swerved the pudding dish of blue potato with coffee ice-cream, but shared a perfectly nice dulce de leche with chilli-flecked meringues and reflected that, although Lima Floral doesn't have the same wow factor as Lima, it's a terrific little cabinet of curiosities, startling new tastes, flavours – and terrific cocktails.
REVIEW: Lima Floral, Garrick Street, Covent Garden - The Foodaholic
menu food
If there is one thing they know how to do well here at Lima Flora, it’s making the food look stunning.
Organic lamb rump, eco dry potato, queso fresco, black quinoa and crispy blue potato were just a few of the ingredients that made up this bright and colourful dish.
When Peruvian food really hit London (Lima & Ceviche) we couldn’t get enough of those fresh, zesty plates of food known as ceviche.
Lima Floral seems confused right now, and lost what it was i loved so much at Lima – precision perfect cooking.
Perhaps in time, this restaurant will become the twin of Lima it should be, but for now it’s casting a very dark shadow over it.
Lima Floral Covent Garden Review – Best Peruvian Restaurant In ...
menu food drinks ambience desserts
After our return to cold and grey London we couldn’t help but miss the Miami sunshine and tasty Peruvian food, so we decided to hit Lima Floral!
Lima Floral is one of the best Peruvian restaurants in London, just what we needed to get over the post holiday blues!
Lima Floral is a contemporary Peruvian restaurant, created by the world-renowned Peruvian chef Virgilio Martinez and his partners, Gabriel and Josè-Luis Gonzalez.
On top of Peruvian classics such as the Pisco Sour Lima Floral serves a number of other speciality cocktails that combine Peruvian liqueurs and flavours to more classical Western drinks.
The lamb rump also had an unusual flavour; it was coated in herbs and coffee dust and served with Peruvian potatoes, fresh herbs cheese and red kiwicha.

My date and I immediately said yes and within minutes were sipping down a lovely citrus concoction with a foam of egg white on top.
Again, my date and I had trouble with picking the mains so our waitress decided and brought us the Fillet Pachamanca, which came as a beautifully presented steak on a bed of yellow potato puree, topped with chilli and cheese.
I was secretly happy my date offered to take the fillet because I would come back to Lima Floral again for the lamb rump dish alone.
It was a lovely smooth chocolate mousse with a hint of sweet tomato with crispy kaniwa crisps on top.
Their upscale take on Peruvian food is sure to make an impact on the local food scene as well as providing us with a great date location in London.

C) Too many outposts of Peruvian hotspot, Lima.
But it’s mainly because the delightful Peruvian eatery Lima in Fitzrovia (the first Peruvian restaurant in Europe to win a Michelin star) is excellent, and so the news that its second outpost opens in Covent Garden this week must be firmly embraced and smothered with kisses.
Should you be in the market for a something a little more casual – or should you have just forgotten to reserve a table in the main restaurant – there’s also a dimly lit, “no bookings required” Piqueos Bar downstairs, where you’ll find a menu of Peruvian small plates like Grouper With Rocoto Tiger’s Milk Ceviche and an extensive cocktail menu which coincidentally includes several variations of the ol’ Pisco Sour that we believe it’s definitely possible to have too many of… Sounds like a challenge.

Ocean Ceviche was the recommendation of our friendly waitress and came with sea bream, tuna and octopus in tiger’s milk, dressed with crispy corn and sweet potato puree.
My main course of Beef Fillet with sun dried chillis, yellow potato puree and fresh cream cheese was delicious and perfectly cooked.
He was delighted with the dish which was liberally spiced with heated ají amarillo tiger’s milk and achiote oil and was served with sweet potato purée.
It came with what are described as 4000m Peruvian potatoes, fresh herbs, cheese and red kiwicha (a type of amaranth with long red flower clusters).
And I really want to visit the original Lima in Fitzrovia, which is the only Michelin Starred Peruvian restaurant.

I’m not sure who was more surprised, us or the kitchen porters, when we marched, suitcase in tow, through the kitchen door of Central, currently the hottest restaurant in Lima, Peru.
This is Martinez’s second London restaurant, following on from the success of Lima in Rathbone Place, an elaborate affair that has already bagged him a Michelin star.
Sea bream ceviche comes as a sublime starter, teamed with mounds of guacamole-like avocado uchucuta (salsa), speared with dried onion slices and sprinkled with toasted corn.
Sea bream is also used for a main, this time served hot and swimming in a sharp ‘tiger’s milk’ (citrus-based ceviche marinade) tempered by sweet-potato purée.
Humble vegetarian dishes surprise; chunks of rehydrated chuño (freeze-dried) potato are stewed in a moreish cheesy sauce garnished with peppery shiso leaves, while a soy and sesame stir-fried black variety of quinoa is a nod to Peru’s Chifa – Chinese meets Peruvian – heritage.
