Señor Ceviche
Señor Ceviche
Senor Ceviche is a bright and colourful Peruvian restaurant and cocktail bar on the second floor of Kingly Court. The front of the place has really nice, big windows, which almost makes you feel as though you are sitting in an open front bar on your holidays. The walls and ceiling are covered in day glow posters and colourful light bulbs, and the tiling feels uncoordinated and haphazard in a good way!
We were surprised that at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon in the popular spot that the place was almost
empty, but this was fine for us as it meant that the service was super quick, and the staff were friendly and attentive.
I'll start on cocktails - in summary they were really well done! The menu showed a good variety of flavours to choose from, and the were genuinely well made. The garnishes were also very pretty and well thought out.
We tried pretty much the whole cocktail menu (which can found here: http://senor-ceviche.com/pdf/drinks_menu.pdf), and they were all very nice, but out of all of them I would recommend the...
BARRANCO BABE ............................................................................ 8
1615 Pisco, passion fruit purée, lime juice, vanilla syrup, egg white, basil leaves & burnt Angustura
1615 Pisco, passion fruit purée, lime juice, vanilla syrup, egg white, basil leaves & burnt Angustura
The basil was a really nice, simple touch to this drink, and tipped it over the edge of the others. See the image below (it has the dried apple slice and the leaf on the top of it) to see how it looked.
Another good point is that the cocktails were really reasonably priced for the quality produced, which of course means you can sample more of them!
The food, I have to say, was outstanding. Every dish was packed full of flavour, with an amazing mix of different textures.
The Spaniard - Sea Bream and King Prawn ceviche with tomato tiger's milk and crispy chorizo
- My favourite dish. The tomato went really well with the fish (only go for this if raw fish doesn't scare you!), and the crispy chorizo balanced it all out perfectly.
Mr Miyagi - Salmon tiradito with nikkei tiger's milk, pomegranate, purple shiso and crispy salmon skin.
- This dish came a close second. A very nice piece of salmon, and the tangy flavours made this dish pop. Thee crispy salmon skin and crunchy pomegranate seeds set it all off really well.
Smokey Chili Citrus Wings - Chicken wings with aji panca and zesty lemon glaze.
- I'm normally not one for chicken wings (as I get scared about getting food on my hands!), but these wings were delicate and not too sticky. They tasted great too!
Side Dish: Patatas Fritas with huancaina and tomato fondue - Fries covered in spicy Peruvian cheese sauce and tomato fondue.
- I literally didn't want to stop eating these... ever.
Overall, this is a great place to go for a light lunch, but make sure you try the cocktails whilst you're there!
ThymeTip: Get the fries!
