Harden's says
Hot in NYC, this late summer 2023 newcomer is the latest incumbent on the rooftop of Shoreditch’s ‘The Hoxton’ hotel, with its city-fringe vistas of The Barbican and the Square Mile. On offer – Americanised Peruvian fare – let’s hope it’s a better recipe for success than the previous incumbent, Maya (RIP), which also had a US/Latino theme (then it was Baja-Mexican).
Harden's survey result
Summary
Hip import from Booklyn, which is the latest incumbent on the gorgeously decorated rooftop of Shoreditch’s ‘Hoxton Hotel’, where the city-fringe viewscape is of The Barbican and Square Mile. The press have by-and-large raved since it touched down in autumn 2023, with The Evening Standard’s Jimi Famurewa hailing the “thrilling new context” given to its Peruvian dishes, and The Telegraph’s William Sitwell branding it “the best thing to come out of Peru since Paddington”. But our annual survey is less impressed, noting that – especially at the price – its Nikkei/Latino dishes can seem “disappointing”: “a great social media campaign doesn’t make a great restaurant!”

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
