Pisco’s Dalston is a Peruvian bar and restaurant at 16 Stoke Newington Road. Created by a family with restaurant experience in Peru, it combines a bright, informal dining room and street terrace with late opening and an energetic social atmosphere.
Ceviche is cured to order, preserving the freshness and contrast of fish, citrus, chilli and crisp accompaniments. Anticuchos and charcoal chicken bring smoky flavours, while lomo saltado uses high heat to combine beef with the savoury influence of Peru’s chifa tradition.
The menu moves across coastal, mountain and Chinese Peruvian cooking rather than presenting only one signature dish. Sharing starters and generous mains make it easy for a group to explore, and cooked to order preparation keeps the flavours direct and vivid.
Pisco gives the bar its name, appearing in sours, punches, chilcanos and other cocktails. The venue suits diners who want a substantial Peruvian meal followed by drinks, music or a livelier evening without needing to move elsewhere.
Address: 16 Stoke Newington Road, Dalston, London N16 7XN, England
