Floral by Lima

The sister of the award-winning Lima London in Fitzrovia, Floral by Lima is a spot for Peruvian flavours, sharing plates, and expertly crafted concoctions highlighting the best of South American living.

In the heart of Theatreland and with excellent tube connections from the nearby Leicester Square and Covent Garden stations, the restaurant offers an authentic Peruvian experience through its ambiance, menu and events. The bright, colourful indoor area features small tables that are tailormade for sharing the small plates coming out of the kitchen. The main dining area is further complemented by a patio for alfresco dining, as well as The Lost Alpaca bar in the basement, where Latin American tipples such as mezcal, tequila, Venezuelan rum and Peruvian pisco sours are available both standalone and as key ingredients in a varied cocktail lineup.

Meanwhile, the upstairs restaurant provides a selection of South American staples such as ceviches or empanadas. A particular highlight is the Pollo a la Brasa, a Peruvian take on rotisserie chicken. The chicken is first marinated in a special blend of Peruvian herbs and spices, then cooked to smoky crispiness in a rotombo, a traditional Peruvian charcoal-rotisserie oven – the first of its kind in the city.

The restaurant is available for private hire as well, serving group sharing platters.
