Had a very nice lunch here. Located inside the Radisson Hotel. The restaurant calls itself a Peruvian / Italian Started with Tuna Tacos. 4 mini tacos with chopped Tuna Sashimi, and a cabbage slaw. Ok... nothing special Seabass ceviche - Amazing - a filet of Seabass marinated in lemon, lime and spices with avocado, corn and red onion. This was special and paired with a nice glass of Chardonnay it worked well. Peruvian grilled chicken - Came with 2 skewers of dark meat chicken served with aji verde sauce. It was tasty but I'm not a fan of chicken thighs so I gave it to my husband. Ambiance was nice, if you're looking to splurge on a lunch, this is a nice one. read more

Had dinner with three other friends at Monmouth last night- it was my birthday as well. It was going great and the food was tasty, but I was really put off by the behaviour of the staff when I wanted a take-away box. I could not finish my main and wanted to bring the rest home. The server resisted my request but then wrapped up the rest of my meal and brought it to me. What really put me off was that he then squatted down next to me- as if I were a child- and explained to me that they don't normally "do this" for people but they were making an exception for me- almost like a guilt trip! We had just dropped £350 or so on our meals, wine and drinks and I'm made to feel like a burden because I wanted the remainder of my £25 main to take home?! This is the norm these days to offer take-away and why waste perfectly good food? Really left me with a sour taste in my mouth after what was otherwise a pleasant meal. read more

Monmouth Kitchen is the on-site restaurant of the Radisson Blu Mercer where I was staying on my recent trip. Their breakfasts were atrociously priced at something like £30 a day, so I didn't partake as I honestly can't imagine a breakfast being worth that price tag. But I came down on my last night for a glass of wine and a small bite (sans reservation but was seated right away in their bar). Small bites is the name of the game for suppertime as their menu is designed to share. It's also rather meat-forward, but they do have a vegan menu as well with some specialty items. I had the Margherita pizza which was very small but also the perfect size for me that evening as I wasn't very hungry. The wine list is impressive. Service was fine for my leisurely supper. The bar and restaurant were lively right up until closing. Absolutely fit my needs for the night. read more

Oh my God, I had the most amazing meal here! First of all, I was so excited by the fact that it was tapas, which I did not know prior to going. There was three of us and we must've gotten at least half of the menu to share, but so worth it. Some of my favorites: the ravioli, barbecue chicken pizza, and the dessert chocolate spring rolls!! But seriously, everything we had was so good and we were So satisfied at the end. We also had some really delicious cocktails. We had a couple different service throughout the night, and they were all super friendly and great. We were there pretty late in the evening, and the vibe of the place was great too. There's a DJ playing some cool music and the place is crowded with people, but in a good way read more

The food and ambiance are fine, but service is absolutely abysmal. First, it took an extended back and forth with the waiter for me to establish which items on the menu met my dietary restrictions. Then, our food took an extremely long time to arrive, to the point that we eventually gave up on one item my partner ordered (the calamari). Finally, we were almost charged for the calamari on our check--luckily I noticed in time. The only reason that this isn't 1 or 2 stars is that the manager was kind enough to compensate part of the meal for us. read more

Gorgeous food, I really loved the desserts in particular. Took a friend from the states here and she loved it too.

This is a newer restaurant in Covent Garden and the inside decor is beautiful and modern, and the dishes are an interesting mix of Italian-Peruvian fusion. If you go with more adventurous eaters that all like to share small plates of food, then this is a decent bet. We went with a party of 3, which was a good amount of people, since the dishes are on the smaller side. And by small size, some of the dishes looked like they were made for a dollhouse or a child's food play set, because to share it would mean one bite each. Maybe Americans just eat more than people in London, but order accordingly -- I felt like we had to order a lot to be full. This is a nice place to come if you want to come on a date, or a nice evening out with friends who don't mind spending a little extra money, or you're traveling for work and can expense your meal. Tacos (£4-5 for 2 tacos) - There are 5 different variations on the tacos: salmon, tuna, scallop, spicy chicken and a vegetable one. The tacos are tiny and look like they could be for a toddler (if a toddler could eat raw fish). Don't assume 2 people can split a taco because they are small. They were good, but slightly pricey for the size. My favorite out of the bunch was the spicy chicken, followed by the salmon and/or tuna. Arancini (£8) - You can't go wrong with deep fried balls of risotto. I liked these a lot and would get them again. Burrata (£8) - Was pretty standard burrata, but nothing particularly mind-blowing. Good, but I don't know if I would get this again if I came back. Wild Mushroom & Ricotta Ravioli with Sage Butter (£7) - When they say ravioli on the menu, they should just say that there are 2 raviolis. With 3 people, this was a bit hard to share. I guess I thought maybe there would 3 or 4 ravioli, but I was wrong. It tasted fine, but I didn't think this was anything special. Seared Scallop Salad with Rocoto Dressing (£10) - 3 scallops on a bed of spinach and a rocoto dressing. The rocoto is pretty spicy, so beware if you have an aversion to spicy food. I didn't find the scallops to be particularly special. Salmon Skewers (£9) - Two small skewers of salmon with a sauce. I thought this was okay. Chocolate Caliente (£6) - Little spring rolls filled with warm chocolate and served with coconut ice cream and a passionfruit sauce. This is one of the best desserts I've had in a long time, I wish I hadn't needed to share it with 2 other people. The spring rolls were warm and the chocolate inside was delicious, and I love anything with passionfruit. It was the perfect mix of sweet and slightly sour (from the passionfruit) flavors, with lots of different textures. Would undoubtedly get this again and would highly recommend it. Overall, a good concept of different fusion flavors but this just fell flat for me. Other than the tacos (which was so tiny), arancini, and the chocolate caliente dessert, the other dishes were just okay to me and the dishes didn't seem to warrant the price they were charging. I'd come back here again for a dessert and a drink, but think I'd choose other places above this one in London. read more

I didn't think it would be anything special. Why? Because it seems like everyone these days is following a trend--modern interiors, small plates, artisan food. And you know what they say about trendy: it's one step away from tacky. From the outside, I saw the modern interiors. But the moment we stepped inside, I realized those trendy characteristics were actually quite different up close. Also, our waiter was amazing. He gave us exceptional service all night. He explained the items on the menu without that irritating know-it-all tone. I told him I was a vegetarian and without skipping a beat, he said, "Oh great, we have wonderful vegetarian options." HALT. Can I tell you how refreshing it is to hear that? Incredibly so. After asking him for a few recommendations and thoroughly examining the interior of the restaurant, we got to the main event: our food. Jeez. Oh man. Just remembering how delightful that was--give me a second. Okay, I'm good now. To eat, we ordered: One mushroom ricotta ravioli - me Vegetable tacos - me Spinach and chicken risotto with sage butter - him Masala skewers of chicken - him Avocado corn and blackberry salad - me Bruschetta with three different kinds of cheese - us Shrimp ceviche - him For the rest of my review you can check out this post: http://thehonestshruth.com/stories/monmouth-kitchen-in-covent-garden/ read more

Italian-Peruvian is certainly an unexpected combination - but either direction you choose the food is delicious at Monmouth Kitchen. My friends and I ordered small plates and shared and enjoyed each one. The design of the restaurant is fresh and relaxed. Despite being a larger restaurant at full capacity, it was not at all loud. I'll only take points off for the service: We asked for three specific items on the menu and then asked the server to choose the rest from his favorites. He seemed unnerved by the request to make his own selections on our behalf. I assume his shift changed halfway through the meal, as a new server was sent to present the bill. When we noted that we had not received the three items we requested, the new server said they weren't on the order. He didn't offer to bring them to us or correct the mistake. He just said all the food that was on the order had been delivered. So we just paid and left. read more

I've been having breakfast every morning since I've been staying at their hotel. Their morning nourishment is so top notch and well prepared, it's one of the best breakfast place I have ever been! Service is fantastic and warm, very friendly staff, and the atmosphere is so relaxing. If you ever stay at the 7 dials, please check it out! read more

Our experience at Monmouth was AMAZING and I am pleased this gem was near our apartment during our stay in Covent Garden. The creativity and quality of this restaurant blew us away. The menu is a mix of Italian options and Peruvian options- which sounded weird but ended up working out! They suggest trying a variety of items, and having 3 or so per person, so for our group of three we ordered 9 items! We enjoyed everything so much we ended up ordering two desserts to complete the meal. All are reviewed below! Burratta- fresh and creamy, this was delicious. I was surprised at how large the burratta portion was, but it was delicious. Just to beware, this doesn't come with anything it is just the cheese- but it stands on its own, its that delicious. Avocado & Corn Salad- fresh and full of flavor. The corn is the perfect texture, which is due to how fresh it is! The avocado is smooth and the blackberry dressing that this is tossed in, is perfect. I was afraid it was going to be too sweet but the flavor was excellent. Honestly- this is probably one of my favorite fruit dressings I've had because of the flavor and it wasn't too sugary. Trio of Bruschetta- The three pieces of bruschetta were tasty- the bread wasn't as crispy as I would have wanted, they need to toast it a bit longer. Toppings were great, one is classic with tomato, one has eggplant, one is spinach and cheese- we each tried them and thought they were tasty- but not our favorite! White Ragu Arrancini- four portions are served with this arrancini. Fried and filled with rich goodness, these are tasty! They are pretty creamy, so four is enough to each have one serving! Salmon & Jalapeno Taco- These tacos are TINY but jammed packed with flavor. The tacos are served in servings of two and can be a bite, or two! The salmon is mixed in with avocado and jalapeño and the flavor is perfect. Spicy for sure, but in the best way- the flavor of each element was present and really so good. Not going to fill you up, but definitely worth a try! Salmon Ceviche- deamed the FAVORITE dish of our meal. The salmon ceviche was impressive. The salmon was perfect and so fresh, its hard to explain the creamy texture of the salmon and the salsa on top, but together- perfection. This was one of the favorite items of the meal, and of our entire trip through England. Chicken Risotto- creamy and tasty! This is a great dish, it is rich and filling so a great addition to a larger grouping. It is so creamy and smooth and cooked perfectly. Small chunks of chicken are spread throughout and the texture of the dish is smooth. Good choice! Pasta with Tomato & Chili- this was probably our least favorite dish of the order, the fresh sauce was a bit bland, maybe a hint of salt or pepper. You could tell it was so fresh so a slight tweak would have made this another success. It wasn't bad- just didn't live up to the other spectacular options. Beef Tenderloin- thinly sliced, perfectly cooked and topped with a SPICY sauce. This is spicy- so it isn't for everyone but if you like perfectly cooked beef- order this dish. Pear Sensacion- named our favorite dessert of the trip- this was simple yet so tasty. The serving is tiny- but having ordered two desserts, we had two bites of each. The pear dessert had a fresh ice cream on top of a part tart and pistachio crumble- which is the best way I can describe the treat, but honestly GET THIS! Chocolate Spring Rolls with Passion Fruit Ice Cream- the light flaky spring rolls are filled with melted gooey chocolate- beware if you are wearing white or use caution- it tends to get everywhere when you take that first bite. The ice cream was tart and delicious! The vibe is trendy, the service was the BEST we have had during our entire stay in England and I would recommend trying this fantastic and unique restaurant when in London. A note- it can get pricey, but it is worth the splurge! read more

This restaurant is located in a neat area. I love the bar and they offer tasty drinks, I recommend the margarita. Only three stars because although the food was good, it wasn't amazing. We had several dishes to review but I'm only going to tell you our favorite which is the BBQ chicken flatbread and I was not a fan of the avocado and corn salad. If you cannot handle spicy foods you will not be able to enjoy many of the Peruvian dishes on the right side of the menu. The tacos are miniature but big in flavor. read more

We popped in to this place without a reservation during super busy dinner hour and the hostess made a table for us (super accommodating). The menu is very unique - a mix of classic Italian and Peruvian - all small plates for sharing, and the food was very good. The Italian side of the menu was pretty good, we had the ravioli (ricotta and mushroom) and a salami pizza. But the Peruvian side is what really made the dinner great. Our two favorites of the night were the Sea Bass Ceviche and the Sliced Beef Tenderloin Anticucho - both really amazing (and very spicy). The ambiance was ok, but overall the food makes it a worthwhile stop in Covent Garden for sure. read more

Another great find in the craziness of piccadilly circus area. I was attended too perfectly, and the food was exceptional. Still remembering their signature lamb dish, stellar. Their food has some spice which is just the right amount, but be prepared a little. read more

Delicious tapas! Found this place while roaming the streets of Picadilly. How we ended up here, I don't know but glad we did. I would've give 5 stars, but the ribeye was quite a disappointment. Was overcooked and was the last item we ordered. Other than that, this place is amazing and the service is excellent! Our server, Gabor, was very pleasant and took excellent care of us. Thank you Gabor! read more

The staff are wonderful but the food is not at all up to par. Just putting chili on something doesn't make it Peruvian. I should have been a lot more suspicious when half the menu was Italian. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The service was attentive and the food was fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend the sliced beef tenderloin anticucho, chicken tacos, chicken anticucho, and the burrata. The Pera Sensacion dessert was delightful. read more

Monmouth Kitchen represents the very essence of London with its brilliant fusion of cultures - Peruvian and Italian cuisine in this case - and steep prices! The service was on point with a very friendly, high-energy Italian waiter who knew his stuff about food and the menu and kept us thoroughly entertained throughout the evening. Each of us ordered around four dishes each - which are tapas-sized - but it took a while as everything on the menu sounded divine. Considering how many dishes we'd chosen, I was impressed by just how quickly the food actually came out and within no more than 15 minutes, we were all chomping on our several dishes. Both the Italian and Peruvian cuisine held their own, were equally delicious and really well presented. The standout dish for me was the sea bream ceviche with avocado, corn and onions (I'm still ever-so-slightly salivating at the thought of it.) Another thing I would recommend is the Pisco Sour cocktail - best one I've ever had. A word of warning though, if you order the mini tacos and are more than a little peckish, one helping will not suffice - the tacos, though cute-looking and apparently delicious, were about the length of my pinky. I'd definitely come back here again, but not on an empty stomach and perhaps sometime around payday...;) read more

I came this lunch time during 12pm,god everything are so delicious. But everything are so tiny 味道好吃的不得了。however I sitll love it! I will say it's about almost 100persent of taste. 90persent about presentation! We love Italian food. 意大利食物好赞我们都很喜欢，味道百分百的好吃，就是菜码太小了，真心的！我个人最推荐牛肉（入口即化 酱也很独特）蘑菇意大利片汤，牛有味超级浓厚！还有taco我吃的是三文鱼绿辣椒味（这个是凉的！所以未必适合中国老年人）我觉得那个鸡腿可以点一个，不贵又好吃，比较起来算多的了，overall我给九十分这家餐厅！唯一缺点是老是爆需要提前预定位置！what can I say..good stuff need wait ...... read more

Amazing, some of the best food I ever got! We were a group of 12 persons. When we came, a super nice marmor table was ready. The waiters foldes our napkins in our lap, and evertime I went to the toilet my napkin was made in to a flower or animal when I came back! Best service ever The 12 of us ordered together 2 and 2, every couple chose 6 dishes to share. The waiters put all the food at the right place, and the food came really quick. And it was SO YUMMY! I ate vegetarian. Pizza, pasta, salads, mini tacos and chevise and chocolate spring rolls with coconut gelato. The pasta was one of the best i have eaten, and i have been to Toscana! The meet eaters were also in heaven. Go here, just do it. Im thinking about booking a new trip to London just to eat here again.... read more

Monmouth Kitchen was above expectations on all fronts, a great concept of small dishes and bite size tapas of outstanding quality, taste and creativity. All was explained very well and we just kept ordering more because everything was so tasty. We had an amazing variety of dishes like spicy chicken skewers, thin slices of beef, ravioli, risotto, bite sized mini tacos with tuna and even pizza. If this is nouveau Peruvian cuisine I am already planning to return to the country because I have missed out something. Thanks for making it such a pleasant evening to the excellent and friendly staff. The place has a great vibe, a beautiful interior and a DJ was spinning some background Highly recommended, will be back soon! read more

Enjoyed my visit here. The staff were really courteous and helpful, and the setting and decor were pleasant. It seems to have an overwhelming hotel bar and restaurant vibe - i.e the food pleased, and the staff were very attentive - however no wow factor, and terrible hotel lobby 'funky cool' music. But it all made sense, I realised whilst going to the bathroom there was in fact a hotel attached. There was an interesting mix of small Peruvian and Italian plates on offer. For two people we were advised to order six dishes. We went mostly vegetarian but I added a meaty dish in for myself. The tacos were teeny tiny crunchy bite size mouthfuls but packed full of taste and fun. The pizza was average - more doughy than I personally like. The term ceviche is used quite liberally when used in a vegetarian context. Lets face it, it's a salad, but we did enjoy it - the red and yellow tomato salad was deliciously fresh and zesty. My partner had the mushroom ravioli - there were only two pieces so it didn't feel right to attack it but he seemed pleased enough. Lastly the sliced beef tenderloin anticucho was a touch too spicy for my palate - especially as I was eating it all alone (mwah ha ha). The heat really built up. It was probably the most generously plated portion that we ordered - with around 6 slices of beef- but once I scrapped off some of the hot sauce, the flavours of the medium rare cut did come through very nicely, Drink wise we ordered coffee, a rococo hot chocolate (yes I am a child) and a pleasing sweet '7 Dials Punch' (although it did taste like juice to me, so again I am a child). Overall a nice visit, with a pleasing atmosphere. I commend this place for its great vegetarian selection too. But sadly the food didn't excite me the way I was expecting from the other reviews. No one wants to be described as just nice do they? read more

Mon Mouth is Still Watering Italian and contemporary Peruvian small plates? Who knew? One thing I do know is that this place is fantastic. Tantamount terrific tapas. We enjoyed a flight of dishes. All exceptional. Spicy chicken tacos with ricotta yogurt. Crisp, zesty, and bright. Lobster and tomato ceviche. Perfectly marinated and fresh. Slow roasted Padron peppers. Spicy pops of flavor served in a small pickle jar. Fun. Smoked BBQ chicken pizza with coriander and chiles. How kicky. Even the fried chicken lollipops were remarkable. If you are looking for an amusing culinary diversion that will delight everyone from simple snackers to finicky foodies, you must experience Monmouth Kitchen. And our server Roxanna deserves kudos too for her fantastic recommendations and care. read more

Got seated outside and waited 20 minutes for server to take our order. Finally got up and left. Piss poor service.

I had read the reviews and had seen that portions were small. Although they were small the amount of costly ingredients was seriously lacking so not living up to the price. For example the shrimp ceviche had 4/5 pieces of thumb nailed size shrimp and was then basically a bowl of marinated tomatoes. The best dish was the burrata cheese and the worst were the pasta dishes. We had two one was a seafood tagliatelle where all the seafood was overcooked as was the pasta and the sauce didn't have any flavour and the other was a ravioli that was way too thick. On a better note the cocktails and coffee dessert were great as was the service and atmosphere. £29pp opentable deal which included 4 tapas and a cocktail each. Total £67 including service charge. read more

Chaos! Used to think this place was generally good, but tonight had an awful experience where we were asked to move from a table in the bar area to make room for a booked dinner. They need to manage these requirements in the restaurant! They were rude and didn't even offer to take the olives off of our bill for the disruption. Won't head back anytime soon. You know better customer service, Monmouth Kitchen! Boo! read more

The food was pretty good, but the service was terrible. The server never came to refill water without us flagging him down, I practically had to yell across the room to get his attention so we could order another dish, and it took about 40 minutes for him to bring our check and for us to pay after our plates had been cleared. The worst part of it, though, was that there was a 12.5% tip charge on top of the bill, so that we had no choice about rewarding the server for his poor performance. read more
