Matiz on The Hill

Delicious food at a reasonable price. The restaurant is located right in the heart of Greenwich Village, which adds to its charm. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow. Overall, a lovely place worth visiting

Matiz is a lovely restaurant serving Latin American food (Ecuador). It's a nice option if in Greenwich as I often find restaurants there a bit more tourist oriented and of lower quality. Mating differs in that regard! All the dishes we tried were great, both meat and fish options. Their sangria was very good. The only thing I would have changed was the portion size of the tapas.

Delicious food with good serving sizes. Food came quickly as well. Also cheap prices for a large glass of wine! I had the Ecuadorean ceviche which was SO fresh and tasty, a baked goat cheese and spinach empanada, and the goat cheese salad. The first two would have been enough: large enough for someone who is only somewhat hungry. Service was decent as well. Would definitely return! Excellent value for money.

Went to Matiz on The Hill for my birthday and loved it! The food was amazing, the place is beautiful and well decorated. Service was good, but it was a bit loud—still a great spot overall.

The food was delicious, the staff were so kind, mindful, amazing hospitality and overall had a wonderful experience. Fantastic food and delectable desserts, thank you to the team for ensuring that we had such a good experience.

Lovely little Spanish restaurant. The service was a bit slow, but I feel that was because there seemed to be only 2 members of staff working as waitresses and bar staff. We waited 30 minutes after ordering to receive our drinks. I enjoyed the wine, Margarita, and my starter Carne en palito, but unfortunately, I felt there wasn't enough meat in my main course, I can't remember the name as it's not on the online menu. The waitress did offer our group of 7 complementary Limoncello shots.

Decided to come for a second time and was just as good as the first. Food was delicious with a few updates to the menu. Staff were attentive and friendly. Saturday night live guitarist was a great touch. Would definitely recommend and will be back again.

I had the pleasure of having dinner at this restaurant for this first time the weekend. It’s a hidden gem, the atmosphere was amazing, great music and ambience. The waiter was so lovely, the food was amazing! I enjoyed everything, they have an amazing selection of foods that meet most dietary requirements. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be visiting again.

Loved our dinner here. Beautiful interior, friendly attentive service and luscious, healthy food. Influences include Spain, Ecuador and Argentina. We hope to return during our ten remaining days in London!

If I could give 8 stars, I am not sure it Would be sufficient! Every last element of our dining experience was perfection!! We sat outside in an exquisite tiny courtyard that was super private from the crowds on the street. Lush green plants were all around us. We ordered tiger prawns and salmon salad that were unlike any food we have ever eaten. (Horseradish dipped shrimp over thinly sliced salmon---can't even describe the bursts of flavor!!!). Then we asked the waiter about his favorite pizza//// and he told us about the homemade pesto///yes please!!! We soaked up the sunshine and savored our food and I can't remember a better dining experience in my Lifetime. As the sweet girl held the door for Me on the way out I restrained myself from Giving her a huge hug----no Kidding---it was that amaaaazing!! I would fly back to London for this place alone. It is a can't miss experience!!!

This is what I would call a hidden gem. We found this restaurant by a chance, for being located just a block away from the place we were staying in London during our holidays. We stopped by mere curiosity, when passing by, to read the menu contents. Big was my surprise, when checking at the menu, that it contained a section for Mediterranean plates, and another section for Latin American food. Being from Peru, and my wife from Venezuela, I continued reading and found out many Ecuadorian and Peruvian dishes in the list. I was delighted to finding out native dishes of my home land (even though I am living overseas since 1990), however I was more surprised because the last dish in the list was from the Peruvian Amazon region, where I, and all my mother's family, are originally from. This plate is called "Patarashca de pescado" or Fish Patarashca, which is a regional delicacy, mostly known by Peruvians from that region only. Personally, I am quite picky for trying Peruvian food overseas, because I know the difficulty of obtaining the ingredients, and also because I am a good cook and prepare them at home. In essence, we ended up having breakfast a few times, as well as dinner there. We tried the Peruvian tamales, which were really delicious, as well as the Ecuadorian churrasco. The Lomo Saltado was, according to my wife, one of the best she ever tried, and she even enjoyed the alfajores as dessert. The coronation dish was the fish patarashca that Carol, the gently owner, prepared specially for me. It was superb. Made with fresh sea bass, and perfectly seasoned, it made me remember my childhood at Iquitos, Peru. Besides all the food experience described above, the hosts (Carol and Anibal) are a delightful couple, very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone really interested in trying an excellent South American food.

Having traveled to Peru, I had high hope for The Hill but it fella little short. The Cariucho de Pollo was tasty with a nice gravy as was the Paella Valencia, but for the love of christ it took forever for the food to arrive. We asked for bread while we waited and it took 40 mins just to get the bread. Unfortunately, neither of the waitresses spoke any English. Zero, nada. Luckily, I speak a little but no one else at my table did which led to frustration. The Ceviche Peruano was not all that. Maybe it was because I was hoping to get something that reminded me of Peru, but everyone else liked it. At the end of the meal, the food was definitely above average but the service was so slow and frustrating that I will not be coming back until the service improves.

The food was good and simple. Cheeses, ceviche, pizzas, etc. Ingredients were fresh and well prepared. Service was slow, even for relaxed London. It took a while to get waited on, put in an order in and wrap up the bill. Definitely worth a stop for a tapas style meal, just don't be in a rush!

Really welcoming, friendly local spot. I've lived within a 10 minute walk from here for over two years now. Obviously with the characteristic apathy of a tweenager I kept meaning to come but never did... Until yesterday. The menu is quite Italian in feel with pizza, pasta etc, but there's also some tapas and South American ditties scattered around. I had calamari and calzone. Both were awesome, but I couldn't finish it. My girlfriend had anchovies (tapas) and then the seafood linguini. That looked awesome, but again she couldn't finish. The portions are... healthy, to say the least. It's one of the only restaurants I actually felt bad about not finishing my food in. They weren't in any way funny about it, they were just so unexpectedly delightful to us that I felt like I'd let them down! Or maybe I'm reading too much into it. I'll definitely be coming back again. Service was good, prices were fair (we had a tastecard which knocked £20 off the Bill which helps) and the staff were really friendly.

If you're looking for a nice restaurant for some good food, nice ambience and that feels a little bit special, this is a great choice. I thought it would be more of a pub by the name and look of it but surprisingly, the menu is much more Mediterranean. We had mussels and calamari to start, seafood spaghetti as a main and my friends had lasagne and ragu which had good feedback. The seafood pasta used real, fresh seafood, unlike a lot of places! The wine menu was extensive and the service was quick and attentive. Would definitely come back.

A renovated Gastropub found on Royal Hill in Greenwich. Instantly sceptical of the term gastropub I approached this eatery with caution but was pleasantly surprised. The decor inside is very formal, traditional restaurant, with an open plan bar and dining room. My partner and I both ordered the slow cooked meat options - belly pork and lamb shank respectively. Both were very nicely cooked, the pork particulary well complimented by the figs and butternut squash accompaniment. The lamb was very tasty, but the pork was definitely the winner. The cheapest bottle of red wine on the menu was around the 13 pound mark but was very tasty to my admittedly untrained pallete and went well with the meal. A good place for a date before a nice walk up to the heath for a late drink on a cold Winter's evening.

Everything we had was good. My wife had a traditional Ecuadorian lamb stew which was very tasty. I had steak and chips. The spices they used remind me of South America. We had a Ribera del Duero (£35) which was very good. Service was discreet and professional. They had a professional guitar player which added to the nice atmosphere. Thanks. we'll come back.

Extremely friendly staff. A welcoming atmosphere and great ambiance, especially when the live band is playing! The food is excellent and the Latin American dishes are spot on! Will definitely continue to come here.

This gastropub has a nice enough ambience and is more like a restaurant than a pub. Clean and modern throughout. The food was very good and the menu was reasonable, there is also a good selection of wines to accompany your meal, but the service was fairly slow and not particularly friendly. It was a chilly March evening and I felt rather cold sitting in there, not sure what happened with the heating. I thought a little on the expensive side for a pub, and a 12.5% service charge was added to the bill. A reasonably nice place to have a meal away from the hustle and bustle of the main activity in Greenwich but this certainly wouldn't be my first choice for somewhere to eat in the area.

Love this place. It's hidden away half way up Royal Hill away from the centre of Greenwich. We had lobster pasta, which was lovely. And a pizza, which is about the largest pizza I have ever had (could have done the both of us with a salad). All was absolutely delicious! Very chilled atmosphere, so a good place to meet up with friends for a relaxing evening.

The Hill sits at the bottom of Royal Hill, and i have to be honest I was a little too prejudiced by its previous incarnation to go out of my way for a visit. On a journey home from Peckham, it was only after passing a road to Greenwich and watching it disappear into the distance like a lost eating out opportunity, that made me think of eating out and taking the Royal Hill and the restaurant it ended with.
