The Plate Snob take
COYA brings enough colour and Pisco to make a Thursday feel reckless, but the ceviche and grill keep the party attached to a very good kitchen. Start raw, finish smoky and allow the bar one persuasive suggestion.

The full picture
Peru through a global lens
Ceviches, tiraditos, anticuchos and larger grilled plates form the menu's spine, with Japanese and Chinese influences folded into the Peruvian base. Bright acidity makes the raw section the right opening move.
The Pisco bar matters
COYA works as much through atmosphere as food, and the bar is not a waiting room. The music and artwork build towards a lively evening, while weekday lunch offers a tighter and more economical version.
