The room is small, muted and expensively discreet, with naked brick and concrete walls, artfully scratched walls, and a neon sign that declares, in a curly scrawl, ‘Tequila to wake the living, mescal to wake the dead.’
The salsa is charred and smoky, with a deep chilli grunt, and the juices dribble down our hands and onto our fronts.
Then home, via the fishmonger, to make sea bream ceviche, with tomatoes, chilli and salt.
A stag (or staggering) lunch at Boisdale Belgravia for my good friend Bill.
Feeling less than pretty, but by lunch am eating proper pizza, cooked in a wood-burning oven, at Forte Village, sun beaming down and sea glittering.

Peyotito | Notting Hill Restaurant We know what you’re thinking.
Because it’s served in Notting Hill’s Peyotito, from the stove of Executive Chef Eduardo Garcia, who’s better known for turning his Mexico City restaurant Maximo Bistrot into one of the official 50 best eateries in the world.
Now he’s brought that award-winning Mexico city flavour to London, and is doing it in an eminently cool space, with stone brick walls, moodily low lighting, and cool grey/white furnishings.

A new Mexican restaurant is coming to London - and it looks like it's backed up by a chef with an impressive pedigree.
It comes from Eduardo Garcia of Maximo Bistrot, a restaurant in Mexico City that is one of the Latin America Best 50 Restaurants list.
What we do know is that it'll have a contemporary approach, the food will mainly be gluten and dairy free and the menu is divided into six parts - Ensaladas, Crudo, Tostadas, Masa, Cebiche and Mole.
And that on top of that, they'll have a contemporary take on Mexican brunch at the weekend.
Peyotito opens at 31 Kensington Park Road, London, W11 2EU on 4 July.

But, the food belies the space…and as for the Margaritas… We started, as everyone should, with the house Margarita – a Potato, with a Tajin lime and chilli and salt rim and a shot of smokey mezcal nestling in the ice ready to use as a chaser… Complimentary dipping sauces and blue corn tortillas made excellent nibbles, while we browsed the menu.
The menu is really a series of Mexican tapas dishes – we ordered a salad, crudo and a couple of ceviche dishes to share followed by a meat based hot dish for me and fish for the Salad was a plateful of full flavoured heirloom tomatoes with cured nopales cactus, spring onion and avocado, nestling in an assortment of leaves with a tangy dressing.
The result was a beautifully tender light and delicately clamato laced dish with salsa mexicano.
But, I still had a severe attack of food envy when I spotted my companion’s pescado con mole verde – a fillet of grilled sea bream with homemade adobo and seasonal vegetables.
The sea bream was perfectly cooked, flaky and moist – and the green mole was light, full of flavour and a delicious accompaniment.

Nevertheless, Six Portland Road definitely shook things up, and now, Peyotito on Kensington Park Road hopes to transform things further by serving modern Mexican food in a dimly lit industrial setting.
Peyotito, in fact, shuns all notions of the textbook Mexican restaurant.
Yes, there are ensaladas, tostadas, masa, ceviche and mole, but at the same time, there’s a wild rejection of bold colours, fiesta vibe, heat, smoke or exuberance.
It felt odd to spend time in a Mexican restaurant and feel untroubled by vibrant flavour.
Peyotito isn’t terribly Mexican but it’s very west London.
