COYA Mayfair

Beautiful restaurant if you are looking for something special.  The service and attention was refined and not overwhelming. The sommelier was knowledgeable and eager to help find that right wine.
The food was cleverly presented and eye pleasing.
That had several dining option which was very much appreciated. Set menu pair with drinks or order a la cart
The thing you need to be aware is if you want a leisurely meal the set menu is at the kitchens pace. Felt a bit rushed and even the lunch menu states it’s designed to be an hour. Meaning looking to turn tables.
The waiter never made us feel rushed but the pace nonetheless felt it. Waiter tried to accommodate.
It is a bit pricey and value of food was almost there but was stretched. Again beautifully presented. We asked for our beef fillet medium rare but was medium well. But the value was made up by ambience and the staffs attention.
So more of a destination dining experience than a culinary destination.
That honestly stated , we had a most enjoyable dining experience.

COYA is an Asian/Peruvian fusion restaurant with an eclectic vibe.

The menu is extremely tempting as one is drawn to try a little of everything.

Servings are small, and so I suggest ordering a variety of dishes.

The service was excellent and the music was managed by a live DJ who played Indie house.

Crowded restaurant, but we could speak without having to raise our voices.

The bar area is inviting and quite lively.

We ordered the Guacamole Dip - Wagyu Bao buns - Bluefin Tuna Tataki - Corn Empanadas - Sea Bass Ceviche - Pork Chops - Chilean Sea Bass - deserts - paired with Champagne and wine.

Everything we tried was shared between the 3 of us and it was just the right amount of food that allowed us to appreciate the culinary delight.

Very tasty - and very attentive staff.

A welcome surprise is no cell coverage as the restaurant is 20’ underground.

I did not see an elevator, and steps are steep / so at this point I would state it is accessible for those that may be challenged walking.

Peruvian food.  Guacamole is a must order with on hand waiter cooking the dish at your table.  All dishes are excellent and their ice creams are home made with rambutan! The cup which ice creams are served was frozen cup to keep the ice cream cold. Amazing!

On the top floor, there DJ playing fun music.  Love it!

Tried during June for 2, we weren’t super hungry so we got this and was more than enough:

Tacos de Shiitake con Chalaquita (6/10), tasted soulless tbh, but others could enjoy it as a vegetarian option.

Classic Sea Bass Ceviche (10/10) absolutely divine.

Pollo a la Parrilla (10/10) so soft and full flavor, amazing.

Would love to come here again to try other dishes 👍🏻

COYA is probably my favorite place in the world for lunch, it just never misses. The Xmas decorations made it even more wonderful to visit yesterday, and the service as per usual is 10. Zuzanna is just incredible and I really recommend getting in touch with her as she makes the experience above and beyond what you’d expect from a high-end establishment as is. Food is amazing, but service makes it what it is, so a huge shoutout to her, she’s always been incredible and makes every experience at COYA special.

Wagyu beef is halal. Pork and alcohol served.
