About

Lima Fitzrovia is a Michelin-recognised Peruvian restaurant in central London, celebrated for its vibrant flavours, inventive dishes, and stylish setting.

Lima Fitzrovia sits in the heart of Fitzrovia, a neighbourhood known for its eclectic mix of restaurants, bars, and creative energy. Just a short walk from Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, it’s perfectly placed for both locals and visitors looking to explore one of London’s most dynamic dining districts.

Since opening in 2012, Lima Fitzrovia has been at the forefront of introducing contemporary Peruvian cuisine to the capital. Founded by the González brothers, the restaurant quickly gained acclaim for its authenticity and innovation, earning a place in the Michelin Guide. Today, head chef Diego Recarte leads the kitchen, bringing precision and flair to menus that blend the best of British seasonal produce with Peruvian traditions.

The menu is a colourful showcase of Peru’s culinary heritage. Signature dishes include ceviche, widely regarded as some of the best in London, alongside tiraditos, beef tataki with huancaína sauce, and A5 wagyu tiradito with crispy potato and ají panca. Diners can also enjoy Porthilly oysters with sorrel and apple, suckling pig, and creative vegetarian options. Desserts are equally inventive, with highlights such as corn jelly, doughnuts, and meringues. Preset tasting menus and à la carte options allow guests to explore a wide range of flavours, while cocktails like the classic pisco sour add a true Peruvian touch.

The atmosphere is casual yet elegant, with an open kitchen and vibrant décor reflecting the energy of Lima itself. With its combination of authentic Peruvian flavours, Michelin recognition, and Fitzrovia charm, Lima Fitzrovia remains one of London’s most distinctive dining destinations.

High-class spot with one food glitch
We ate before going to the theatre so arrived at an almost empty place at 5.40pm on a Saturday. A good-sized and reasonably priced glass of prosecco later, we started with a special - a scallop topped with abalone in a hot sauce; only one though so we ordered two. My main was slow-cooked crispy suckling pig belly and it looked and tasted delicious, on its celeriac base. My wife ordered roast duck breast on green rice - which was stringy and inedible. I got the manager Patrizio over who quietly removed the dish ( as he did for the neighbouring table too), and he removed the charge too; he also removed the service charge. We had no replacement, by choice, and no pudding either, but it still came out relatively expensive; mains are £24-30 each; but we did have a glass of the chef's carrot soup as a taster. So that's all right then. Wines can be obtained by carafe, which is always a good idea.

Love the Skylight!
Lovely atmosphere especially for brunch due to the skylight in the back room. Food was very impressive looking in terms of presentation, however slightly overpriced as have had more authentic Peruvian food else where. Fun place, fun atmosphere - will come back again.

Lima
The food was very tasty, innovative and interesting and there was a lively buzzy atmosphere, only one table was free for lunch. However, we went for the fixed menu and the portion sizes were miniscule, shame about that as it rather tainted an otherwise very enjoyable experience.
