Mareida

We visited for dinner on a Saturday. This is a potentially vibey spot with cool decor, but it was fairly empty at the time despite being a weekend. Hopefully just a January lull. We were 2 adults and and 2 kids and between us ordered the sopaipillas (pumpkin bread), a couple of Wagyu and a couple of lobster empanadas, the beef tartare, red carrots, cauliflower, monkfish in lobster sauce, ribeye and potatoes. For dessert we tried the “avocado” and the coffee puff pastry. The food was mostly decent but some items were better than others. The starters were probably the highlight - the sopaipillas with dip, lobster empanadas and beef tartare were all very nice. They did well on the veggie items too (carrots and cauliflower). The headline main course of the ribeye steak came in a delicious carmenere sauce and it looked great but the meat was a bit chewy. Desserts divided the table, I quite enjoyed both desserts and the avocado was impressively designed, but the flavour combos were less appreciated by the wife and kids. Service was very friendly and the food was delivered at a decent pace. The bill for our meal came to £325 of which £75 was spent on drinks. A solid new opening overall, Chilean cuisine isn’t that easy to find in central London, we enjoyed the meal but would rate it as good rather than excellent. Worth a visit at least the one time.

Came here on a Saturday night, and frankly the whole experience left alot to be desired. While nothing was particularly bad (except the slow kitchen time), the food was disappointing and of very little value for money. Starting with the food itself, the flavours were okay. Nothing that particularly stood out in terms of spices or flavours- the mains were neither here or there. Our chicken was not the best cooked, yet the trout was nice! The starters were flavourful but the portions were extremely tiny. While delicious, there is no way you can justify £9 for a SINGLE tiny empanada… My advice to management would be to dramatically reconsider their price points on everything. The other hitch was that the kitchen was extremely slow. Our starters came out in quick succession but there was about 45 minutes wait between that and our mains coming out. Also sadly when they arrived they were not particularly worth the wait. Overall- would not recommend.

Very very good food, Chilean with a modern twist. Restaurant has a great atmosphere with an open kitchen. Food is generous in portion size and absolutely packed with flavour. The butter corn is the best I've ever had and the trout was amazing. Would recommend. Would go again. 5/5

Really lovely restaurant and filled up around 7:30/8. The staff were friendly and very helpful with what to order and ensuring it meets your dietary requirements. Lots of vegetarian option to choose from with lots of variety of ingredient amounts all of the dishes. Lots of unique flavours in each dish. The corn had to be the best dish! The flavour was amazing and would 100% get again!

A wonderful restaurant! The Chilean cuisine is simply spectacular, full of flavor and with 10/10 quality. You can really tell the care put into every dish. Highly recommended are the empanadas, the beef tartare (incredibly fresh and well prepared), and the rib eye, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Definitely a place to come back to and recommend.

Really nice restaurant with great food, atmosphere, and service. As a Chilean, I love that there’s finally a place representing our flavours. You just need to keep an open mind that some dishes aren’t exactly like at home, but rather a fine-dining fusion that puts a creative twist on the originals while staying true to their essence. I’ve been twice in the past two months and highly recommend it. My favourites were the lobster empanada, steak, sopaipillas, chicken, tomato salad, and desserts. Plus, if you’re Chilean, you’ll appreciate that they have piscola and marraqueta! It’s a restaurant that fits any occasion, definitely worth a visit.

Mareida is a really special restaurant. The food is delicious, flavourful and beautifully presented, and the set lunch menu was excellent value. I am half Chilean and although I haven’t been back for a long time, the flavours at Mareida immediately reminded me of my childhood. The service from Diego was brilliant and the environment also deserves a special mention - everything is so lovingly thought out, from the decor to the lighting. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in London.

Back to Mareida and still amazed me, new plates and never disappoints. We ordered the classic wagyu, the marraqueta and tartare, a lobster empanada and the dessert was fab! With a pisco sour with white chocolate.
