Ayllu

I had a good experience with the Tasting Menu; the food was simply amazing! The service was top-notch and truly elevated the whole evening. The only downside was the music—it was way too loud, which made it tough to hold a conversation! Nonetheless, that won’t stop me from coming back for lunch to try out different menus!

Ayllu is an intimate little basement restaurant situated right next (and under) paddington station. The entire experience was a little more on the pricy side but we had an amazing experience and would definitely come back. We had the pleasure of enjoying the valentine's special tasting menu in a cute booth. Enjoying live music throughout the night (special mention to the violinist and the flamenco guitar) and even samba dancers! Service was great and the food was delicious. Starting off with the best guac I've ever had, and really tasty tuna ceviche. All of the mains were stellar: delicious steak (cooked to your liking), out of this world bomba rice with salmon and great yuccas bravas (which they should have served more of straight into my mouth please). The prosecco was great, and the extra cocktails we ordered were incredible and we could see them being made right next to us at the bar! The experience was capped off with a lovely creamy dessert in the shape of a heart, just lovely. As I said at the start I'd definitely come back to check out what else they offer!

A Delightful Bottomless Brunch on a Rainy London Sunday We had a fantastic time enjoying a bottomless brunch on a rainy Sunday in London. Arriving at 12:30, we were promptly seated by the receptionist. The venue was a bit empty when we first got there, but that just meant we had more space to settle in. The rules of the bottomless brunch were clearly outlined on the menu: each guest could order two dishes per round, with a 90-minute limit. We ended up sampling most of the menu, and every dish was delicious. The standout items were the salmon rolls, slow-cooked beef short ribs, and the ceviche (both the salmon and seabass versions). The food arrived quickly, and the churros were a highlight—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and utterly delicious. We managed to get through 3-4 rounds of food. The quality of the food was so impressive that we were surprised the place wasn’t full when we looked around at 1:45 PM. However, by then, the room had started to fill, and by 2 PM, every table was taken. The atmosphere was lively, especially when the dancers appeared at 1:40 PM and 2:40 PM. They were fantastic, engaging the crowd and even teaching us some dance moves. A special touch was when they brought out a dessert with sparklers for my friend—it made our afternoon! For just £42 per person, we enjoyed an incredible meal and experience. I highly recommend this bottomless brunch to anyone, and I’m already planning my next visit!
