"A couple of sledgehammer sips of Llama Inn’s pisco sour are all you need to happily think that this Peruvian rooftop bar and restaurant in Shoreditch isn’t far removed from Williamsburg. It comes via New York and, with its location on top of The Hoxton hotel, brings a little summer glamour from across the pond. There’s a decent range of reasonably priced wine and creative cocktails (if you’re after a classic, just ask) and the cushy, faintly Love Island-ish seating on the terrace makes for a comfortable spot for a gossip." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Given its location at the top of The Hoxton hotel, the crowd at Llama Inn is unsurprisingly vibe-centric. This is a Williamsburg import and rooftop bar that’s built on lethal pisco sours and influence of the GRWM persuasion. As well as big posing potential, there’s Peruvian food primed for snacking. Get the cooling, yet deceptively fiery, scallop ceviche." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Come to Llama Inn’s Shoreditch rooftop on a sunny day, squint your eyes, hear a server’s American twang and, after a gulp (or four) of sledgehammer pisco sour, you may well think you’re part of the Lena Dunham extended universe. That’s kind of the point of this modern Peruvian restaurant. The crowd is, unsurprisingly, vibe-centric, given its location on top of The Hoxton hotel. And when things are good here, like with the chicken anticuchos or the scallop ceviche, they are very good. That can’t be said for everything, but if you stick to the pisco sours, snacks, and small plates, you’ll be happy." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Look for the bright yellow door, then take the lift to the seventh floor and you’ll find this colourful Peruvian restaurant, sister to the Manhattan original. The long, narrow room is bright and sunny, with an open kitchen and bar counter running along its length; there’s also a great terrace. A pisco sour, with some cheese yucas, will let your taste buds know that fresh, perky flavours are coming their way. If you’re new to Peruvian cuisine, then there’s a glossary on the back of the menu and the service team can offer helpful advice." - Michelin Inspector
"Preened sorts, possible influencers, and digital prophets fill the half-moon booths and foliage-happy room at this NYC-import Peruvian spot, sharing crispy squid and yuca ceviche or skewers of saikyo miso-topped cabbage anticuchos. The menu’s glossary, which explains the likes of aji rocoto, huacatay, and other Peruvian ingredients, partly shows the seriousness of the food, and that extends to its cocktails. You can comfortably sit at the bar with a pisco sour and a pork shoulder slider, but you’re better off with a few friends and a plate of lomo saltado in between you.
