Crudo has just opened in Fitzrovia – London’s first fast-casual Cevicheria. Come in for a range of delicious raw bowls that pack a Latin American punch..

London’s first fast-casual Cevicheria has headed to the capital in the form of Crudo. Situated in Fitzrovia, Crudo (meaning raw) will provide fast, healthy and affordable food. You can either choose from a selection of ceviches or design your own bowl to eat-in or takeaway. A new fast-casual dining concept, it gives hungry diners the chance to experience the vibrant flavours of Latin America in the heart of the city.

There will be three different signature bowls to choose from – the key one, Clasico is made of quinoa, seabass marinated in leche de tigre sauce, sweet potato, Andean chilli, Peruvian toasted corn and plantain chips. If their main offerings don’t quite tickle your fancy, then dive right in and make your own. The DIY Ceviche involves you choosing a base (rise, lettuce or quinoa) before adding your protein, your ‘leche de tigre’ sauce and which topping you would like from a wide selection. There will also be a sides menu with traditional Latin American snack foods including a variety of vegan and vegetarian options.

Crudo is the first restaurant for the Venezuelan-born founders Carlos Soccoro and Maria Yanez who were inspired by their time in Miami where they were surrounded by diverse South American cultures. Here, they were exposed to the different ways the dish can be presented from traditional ceviche to Nikkei cuisine and how even non-Peruvian restaurants have adopted ceviche, each bringing their unique flavour to the dish. ‘We were inspired to experiment with ceviche too and create a concept around it. London has such a diverse and exciting culinary scene so we know Crudo would be a perfect fit here’ says Carlos.
