"The Hill is one of those neighbourhood restaurants that deserves more recognition, but also one you’d rather keep to yourself. On the corner of Royal Hill in Greenwich, it’s cosy with gentle lighting, Peruvian frazada table runners, and sharp bursts of colour from the many Ecuadorian paintings. Service is warm and charming, and the menu is vast to the point of obscenity. A book of broadly Mediterranean dishes includes tapas and pizzas, plus the odd South American dish which are the star attraction. Peruvian ceviche comes with an acerbically acidic leche de tigre and fistfuls of sweetcorn alongside the fresh raw fish, tamales are wrapped in banana leaves and generously filled with shredded chicken and olives, and the Ecuadorian cariucho de pollo is an expertly balanced dish of chicken and peas cooked in peanut butter sauce. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Jonathan Hatchman
