Harden's survey result
Summary
“The best Peruvian restaurant in Birmingham!” – chef Robert Ortiz produces “seriously interesting food”, according to fans of this converted bank building in Moseley, where the “delicious tasting menu is very affordable”. Formerly of the Lima group in London, he has opened an offshoot in Hackney’s Broadway Market.
Summary
Chef Robert Ortiz has introduced his “delicious and extraordinarily colourful Peruvian cuisine” to the West Midlands at the converted bank in Moseley he opened five years ago – a “relaxing place for a meal, with a spacious dining area and good service”. Only authentic ingredients are used, and the bar stocks an impressive range of pisco, the national spirit.
Summary
A converted bank in Moseley Village plays host to Birmingham’s first Peruvian restaurant, offering a range of dishes unfamiliar to the city. Limited feedback rates it good all-round and in his September 2021 visit, Jay Rayner of The Observer gave it the thumbs-up, saying that his discovering it in Brum was “like finding a gorgeous tropical flower at the base of a glowering mighty oak”.

"Good food but poor portions for red mullet main which consists of 2 postage stamp sized pieces of fish! On the pricey side."
