Match of the week

Ceviche and Pisco Soho

Last week was particularly good for off-the-wall pairings but I'm going to nominate this delicious cocktail as my match of the week.It was at the new Peruvian restaurant and bar, Ceviche and was a wonderfully refreshing mixture of limo aji chilli-infused pisco (limo aji chilli is a native Peruvian pepper) with elderflower liqueur, cucumber, lime, egg white and cracked black pepper.

Unfortunately I’d ordered a straight Pisco sour (still good but not in quite the same league) so I only got a sip but can vouch that it went perfectly with the two ceviches we ordered, a tiradito of salmon and a tiradito of seabass in aji amarillo tiger’s milk and cancha corn (pictured right).

If you go there, I'd eat in the bar which is lighter and more spacious than the restaurant

Ceviche is at 17 Frith Street, London W1D 4RD

I ate at Ceviche as a guest of the restaurant
