Pachamama Bar & Kitchen in City of London

We are big fan of Peruvian food, but come on, that doesn’t deserve that degree of appreciation from people for this restaurant. Maybe we didn’t choose the right dishes but the menu vegan and vegetarian are definitely not at the right standard. It’s super expensive for vegetable and it’s not even good. We have some ceviche salmon and tuna on side and sea bass, that was good but the mushroom ceviche, broccoli… wasn’t good at all we just left them. Pity. Saturday night is also way to noisy. You can’t have a conversation with your friend the music is too loud. Last point the staff was rude, like if we new everything on the menu. They kind of responded to our queries like if we were kids. Overall not a good experience for us.

Beautiful interior and the fried chicken waffle was great! The other waffles were good but nothing special. The english berry one would be delicious if it had more of the cream there was barely any!

The staff is very friendly and polite; and takes good care of customers. The food is very good and the atmosphere is relaxed but elegant. At the same time I must say portions are incredibly small. I also found it really annoying that the waiters are constantly coming to take away plates and/glasses which may not be really empty. We felt pushed to leave as fast as possible.

Peruvian style chicken a la brasa was really good, the sauce really stood out.

Brilliant place! Tried is out as we wouldn't usually go for Peruvian food but it was a treat.Staff were amazing and helpful with the menu.Flavours and choice were amazing and 100% recommend.

Last time my husband ate here, he raved about it. Tonight the food was okay...most dishes were overly salty especially the duck with rice dish. The server highly recommended it, so he was surprised that we didn't like it. We wondered if they had a change in chefs or if one of them had covid and didn't get their taste back yet. It was too much salt to the point it felt like our mouths were burning and our stomachs were left unsettled. Disappointed that we paid a lot of money for okay food...

Excellent food and service. We ordered the padron peppers, pork crackling, aubergine and sea bream ceviche; all cooked to perfection. The sweet potato dish was a tad boring and should be either vamped up or removed from the menu as it adds no value. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We visited a few weeks ago and made use of their 50% off deal. Overall, I wouldn’t return unless they had the same deal.Service-We were the first to arrive in the restaurant for dinner service and were shown to an extremely hidden table. At the time we didn’t think anything of it, but when we got up to leave we saw around 5 tables of the better lit area full… we couldn’t help but wonder if they ‘hid’ us because we were ethnic minorities as the entire well lit section were of course Caucasian. Due to our table location, we found our service to be slow and not attentive.Food-Crab churros were okay but lacked flavour. Short rib croquettes were too salty which overpowered the taste. I’ve had better ceviche, but their salmon and sea bass ceviches were decent. The short ribs were great. Lamb belly was okay, but again too salty. The duck on rice was AMAZING. This dish alone warrants a visit. Everything else was mediocre, including the aubergine that everyone keeps raving about. Overall, the food was very salty and lacking depth of flavour.We paid just over £30 each and left full. Good value with the offer. Ambience is nice if you are given a good table. Also, the responses I’ve been seeing of the owner are extremely alarming. Sarcasm is definitely not the way to apologise to customers. Speaks volumes!!

As my friend Paulina likes to say,“How can we ever be friends, im already madly in love with you?”Love at first bite: The food here was so delicious. We had the brunch tasting menu and it was sure a treat. The snacks were unique and just the right portions while you wait for the waffles to arrive. We had the savory chicken and sweet potato waffle and the sween peruvian chocolate and quinoa waffle. Wowza! The waffles were fluffy and crunchy, just the perfect brunch!! The staff was lovely and attentive and just overall delicious!!In the worsds of General Douglas McArthur, “I shall return.” 🧑🏽‍✈️

We came for Saturday brunch, and the waffles were awesome! Some reviews mentioned they were dry, but we had the quinoa and buckwheat ones and didn't find them dry at all. The ceviche was also absolutely amazing. The waitress was also very helpful in checking that everything was ok for me considering my dietary restrictions. Expect to spend about £40 per head.
