Ayllu

Ayllu Sunday Brunch. This dining experience was amazing not only because of the saucy conversations on the table but also because of the good service from the staff. Your company and the service you receive always makes your meal even better. This is up there as one of the best brunches i have been to in a long while. We opted for the cocktail option of which they were too generous. I did find it a little weak but it is quite sweet and doesn't taste like alcohol. My highlights were the Uramaki rolls in the first picture, the bao buns and the lemon and herb chicken. Other notable mention is the bravas which i suspect was made with cassava as opposed to potatoes. Tacos as well were just okay. I was disappointed with the croquettes, nothing special there unfortunately. The decor is quite nice mixed with the vibe. The venue is hidden behind a secret door which gives it a bit of a classy look. I would definitely go back for this one. Highly recommended.

This Japanese-Peruvian Fusion Restaurant is my new favourite not only the food was amazing but also the service was excellent. Amazing and very attentive staff. U highly recommend trying the Hot Uramaki Roll and Black Cod absolutely delicious! Only Chicken is Halal but they have a lot of seafood and vegetarian options

We had a very enjoyable and delicious evening at Ayllu and beautifully presented, excellent food. Highly recommend the asparagus and fennel salad, the tuna ceviche, and the uramaki sushi rolls. Fresh ingredients, lots of textures, and well balanced flavours. We also shared the grilled hispi cabbage, yucas Bravas (fried cassava sticks) and a sashimi platter. The salted edamame beans were excellent too - hot, plenty of salt, very moreish! There is a good range of innovative cocktails, and I enjoyed the various white wines by the glass on offer - and ended up choosing the Macon-Villages Burgundian Chardonnay which was excellent. Given the prices of the food, I would have expected nicer chopsticks provided on the table rather than the one-use wooden sticks you would get in a takeaway, but otherwise a superb experience.

The concierge at our hotel recommended Ayllu with enthusiasm and made reservations for us. It was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant itself is small but chic. The Japanese-Peruvian fusion menu is eclectic and tasty. Our server Lorenzo was lovely and very attentive. He made many recommendations and each one was spot on. My husband and I shared several small plates, all were fantastic. The chicken teriyaki, beef bao, trio of sushi tacos, beef tataki, sashimi and tender stem broccoli were phenomenal. However, the triumphs of our dinner were the Black Cod and Iberico Pluma. The cod was firm, tender and flavorsome. The Iberico Pluma was a fabulous surprise. Tender medium-rare pork that was fork tender and mouthwatering. We loved everything about Ayllu including Lorenzo, our fantastic server. It was a pleasure!
