A complete refurbishment of an existing retail shop to create the first LIMA restaurant in London, this Michelin starred restaurant was designed to a strict budget and achieved rave reviews for the food and interior from leading critic Fay Maschler.
An open kitchen separates a bar with a high table at the front from the rear dining area with its detail of grey-painted stepped wooden walls that I told Amy authoritatively (I have never been to Peru) were referencing Macchu Picchu.
Colour and texture, detail achieved on a budget
A Taste of Peru in London
By adding simple but unusual detail, referencing Peruvian architecture in the wood to the walls and the stitching to the banquettes, MAWD could create a sense of place, giving LIMA a distinct style to compliment the outstanding food.
Simply painted slatted wood creates a sense of place.
At Lima the food is as beautiful as it is delicious due to a vivid use of natural colors.
