At Llama Inn London, this rooftop gem fuses Peruvian flavors with a New York twist, offering vibrant dishes and standout cocktails against a chic skyline backdrop.
"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.

"You’ll find Llama Inn on the roof of The Hoxton hotel in Shoreditch, where tanned sorts glug margaritas and snack on bowls of scallop ceviche. The scene-y Peruvian restaurant is an NYC import and, while our weather isn’t quite as reliable, the rooftop is an excellent spot for small plates and no-nonsense pisco sours. The menu’s glossary, which explains the likes of furikake, aji rocoto, huacatay, and more, goes some way to show the potential of the food—and if you stick to the small plates with drinks, you’re going to leave happy." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"A couple of sledgehammer sips of Llama Inn’s pisco sour is all you need to happily think that this rooftop in Shoreditch isn’t far removed from Williamsburg. The Peruvian bar and restaurant 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.
