Pisco Until now, I had refrained from trying one of London’s new south American restaurants such as Ceviche, mostly because I am trying to avoid eating fish altogether.

A few weeks ago @bmcboy and I celebrated a special occasion. It took a while to select a restaurant, and in the end we picked Galvins la Chapelle. We had never been before, it looked like a beautiful venue and the food reviews seemed to be positive.
