Dig in Ceviche Style!

Peruvian restaurant, Ceviche, may be fairly new to London’s Soho dining scene but it’s already making a splash with its offering of Latin dishes, the UK’s only Pisco bar and, of course, it’s namesake dish. And now the restaurant has announced a whole week dedicated to the famous South American marinated seafood dish.

London Ceviche Week 2012 will run from the 23rd to the 30th of June, coinciding with Peru’s national ceviche day on June 28th and offering a range of events centered around the culinary art of slicing and marinating.

Ceviche Week is the first of its kind in the UK. Ceviche’s owner, Martin Morales, created the event to “celebrate the true spirit of Peru’s favourite dish” across the whole of London. The week-long celebration will see masterclasses and demos, appearances at Taste of London and Shoreditch House, new Ceviche menus, music and more. Diners can learn how to make and taste Peru’s favourite dish. A highlight event is the first ever paiche tasting – Peruvian Black Cod.

So, what’s in store that week?  Here’s a quick look at some of them…

The restaurant is located at 17 Frith Street in the heart of Soho and is housed in a building built in 1735 and is surrounded by homes where acclaimed composer Mozart, the Romantic painter John Constable and several other great artists and pioneers once lived.
