LIMA CANTINA
LIMA CANTINA brings you a true taste of the Peruvian capital’s buzzing local food scene – what Peruvians love to eat and drink!
When opening LIMA in Fitzrovia in 2012 Gabriel and Jose-Luis Gonzalez wanted to share Peruvian cuisine’s undiscovered sophistication. LIMA CANTINA is a journey back to their roots and is born out of a desire to bring the soul of their hometown: its flavoursome daily life, with simple dishes directly inspired by markets & home cooked meals.
The restaurant’s chefs use traditional cooking methods to transform quality UK and Peruvian sourced ingredients into mouth-watering dishes. The menu delivers classics such as Pollo a la Brasa (arguably the national dish of Peru and possibly the best roast chicken you’ve ever had), whilst retaining signature Ceviches and Pisco Sours, and many more Lima locals’ favourites.
The restaurant’s vibe is warm and modern with a hint of nostalgia. You’re encouraged to share always; bring your friend, neighbour, and colleague for an authentic and unpretentious all-day dining experience.
