Miraflores Bar & Lounge is a Peruvian restaurant and cocktail destination on Southwark Street, within walking distance of Borough Market and London Bridge. The kitchen presents traditional flavours from Peru in a contemporary style, while the bar and late evening atmosphere make the venue as suitable for drinks as it is for a full dinner. Live music and lounge seating add energy without taking attention away from the food.
Ceviche provides a bright opening, curing cod in lime based leche de tigre and serving it with sweet potato and cancha corn, with a mixed seafood version also available. Anticuchos bring skewers marinated with aji panca chilli, while grilled octopus, crisp calamari and pork chicharrón offer contrasting textures. Jalea gathers fried fish, prawns, mussels and squid with creole salsa and cassava for a generous seafood plate.
Among the main courses, lomo saltado combines rib eye strips with red onion, tomato, soy seasoning, chips and rice. Slow cooked lamb stew, duck leg in aji sauce with tacu tacu, coriander seafood risotto and green pesto style noodles show the range of coastal and inland influences. Arroz chaufa brings Peruvian and Chinese traditions together in fried rice with chicken, pork, prawns and egg.
Desserts continue the Peruvian theme with arroz con leche, purple corn mazamorra morada, alfajores and ice creams flavoured with lúcuma, soursop or guava. Pisco sours are the natural bar signature, joined by cocktails, spirits, wine and beer for evenings that continue beyond dinner. The menu’s mix of citrus, chilli, seafood, grilled meat and distinctive fruits offers a broad introduction to Peru’s varied food culture.
