Seafood dishes complete the small plates, scallops, charred mushroom ‘steak’, apple miso, plantain and grilled octopus, confit potato, smoked cheese, cauliflower.

Headed up by Head Chef Tiago Duarte, the team have collective experience working in some of London’s most renowned restaurant kitchens, including Chiltern Firehouse, Roka and Sushi Samba. Spending time in Lima prior to opening, the Chicama kitchen team became inspired by the use of traditional ingredients. With a predominantly organic, biodynamic and sustainable wine list, Chicama brings fresh eyes to this area of the capital.
