The Financial Times
In Cometa, they have called it brilliantly.
The London Standard
The food is gloriously unkempt; the encouragement is to let any prissiness go.
Time Out
The prawn, burnt mandarin and ginger ceviche is served far soupier than ceviches normally are on these shores, and it’s all the better for it, a kaleidoscopic bowl that’s at turns sweet and tart, and simply incredibly good.
The crab chilpachole rice is astonishingly good: rich, throatily spiced and possessed of all the salty swagger of a sea dog on shore leave. A cool dollop of smoked-eel cream is an inspired touch.
The Financial Times
Admire it. Take pictures of it. Then eat it.
The Infatuation
If someone takes you here, know that it’s their way of quietly, classily saying, “now I know you don’t want a fuss, but this is an occasion that deserves marking.
The Nudge
They’ve hosted thousands of residencies, launching careers that now stretch across cities and continents. So when they decide to open (gasp) their own restaurant, the bar is set extremely high. Happily, they glide over it. Credit is due. Cometa is very good.
The Financial Times
It’s not meant to be sophisticated. It’s meant to appeal to something deeply animal in all of us. The Cometa fried chicken does exactly that. I’d put it right up there with the very best available in the capital right now.
