Crudo Covent Garden

The dishes were good, to me felt like a fusion version of Peruvian food, but nonetheless tasty! We enjoyed and tried a few dishes. They did have tasting menus, which we would have taken, but they’re set and we couldn’t change so we ordered a la carte. A bit pricey but worth it. The staff was really new, didn’t know much about the dishes, but they were lovely and pleasant to talk to.

Nice and cozy little restaurant, we had a couple of dishes, my favorites were the tuna and watermelon ceviche and the corn cakes, didn’t really like the octopus with purple potatoes, felt a bit tasteless. And also the chicken ‘nduja was super tasty, the sauce was delicious.

This was the best restaurant experience I've had in London, hands down. We were hosted by Michael, whose passion for the restaurant and the food was very apparent from the get-go. We ordered the tasting menu, which was simply incredible value for what we got. Everything tasted really fresh, and the sauces were out of this world. Every bite was an explosion of flavour. My only criticism is that we need more rice or bread to mop up those sauces (Michael did give us an extra portion of rice, which was so kind). The desserts were so good that I was willing to propose to all three chefs by the end of the night. You know when you sometimes have the kind of food and restaurant experience that just warms your soul right up on a chilly, dark fall evening? This was that kind of experience. I came home last night and slept twelve hours after. I'm definitely coming back.

This restaurant truly embodies the essence of authentic Peruvian cuisine, offering a delightful experience that transports you straight to the heart of Peru. Each dish is prepared with meticulous attention to traditional methods, ensuring that the flavors are as genuine as they come. One standout item on the menu is the yuca fries, which are simply phenomenal. Crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside, they are a perfect accompaniment to any meal. The seasoning enhances their natural flavor, making them utterly irresistible. Additionally, the selection of ceviches is nothing short of impressive. Each variety showcases the freshness of the ingredients and the vibrant flavors characteristic of Peruvian cooking. Whether you prefer a classic ceviche with lime and cilantro or something with a unique twist, there’s something to satisfy every palate.

Our second time visiting Crudo, first time at Covent Garden. The staff were friendly and attentive. A relaxed atmosphere with fantastic food. We’ve ordered around 15 different dishes over our two visits and we are yet to have a bad dish yet. Highly recommend.

Ordered tasting menu. The entire experience is very good. All ingredients are very fresh. If you do not like raw seafood, I believe this restaurant can be a starting point, as all the raw seafood are nicely seasoned and combined with other ingredients and sauce so you can still taste the freshness of the seafood, and their sauce are a perfect match to go with. One thing worth mentioning is, if you order tasting menu, the total cost would be the same as you order separately, which i think they could offer a 5%-10% off. And to order a small bowl of rice for £6 is a bit overpriced. Overall a 5 stars experience.

Had a really amazing meal here with some friends. Fresh, delicious dishes in such a beautiful restaurant and great service from the staff. The portions were a little smaller than anticipated for our group of 5, but absolutely not a problem as it meant we got to order more and try more of the food. Loved the tuna tataki, and mixto ceviche especially - I’d love to come back and enjoy them again for a date night.

I don’t usually leave bad scores, but the experience was truly disappointing. We waited for almost half an hour, and the food was cold when it arrived at the table. My fried eggs were cold, and the tortilla chips were as soft as handkerchiefs. We ordered extra fried eggs on the avocado toast, but they came as poached eggs. I liked the music in the restaurant, but the disappointing food quality explains why we were the only customers during a weekend lunchtime.
