COYA was founded with a vision to bring the vibrancy of Lima's contemporary dining scene to London. Rooted in the ancient Peruvian tradition of ceviche and the Japanese-Peruvian fusion known as Nikkei, the restaurant celebrates bold, bright flavours built on citrus, chilli, and fresh seafood. The name nods to the Quechua word for a space of gathering and celebration, and that spirit infuses every element of the experience — from the pisco bar and live DJ sets to the art gallery installations.
The flagship City of London location at 31–33 Throgmorton Street opened as part of COYA's global expansion, joining the original Mayfair restaurant on Piccadilly. The group has since grown to encompass venues in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, Barcelona, and Muscat, with seasonal summer residencies in Monaco, Ibiza, and Marbella. Each kitchen sources fish from certified FAO fishing zones and meat from France, the UK, Spain, Chile, and Italy, ensuring traceability across the menu.
Beyond the food, COYA has cultivated a reputation as a cultural destination. The restaurant's art programme brings rotating exhibitions of Latin American artists into the dining room, while the pisco bar — stocked with rare bottles and house-infused spirits — is regarded as one of London's finest cocktail destinations. The Discovery Menu at £95 per guest showcases the kitchen's most refined techniques across multiple courses, making COYA a benchmark for upscale Peruvian cooking in Europe.

Both are Peruvian raw-fish preparations. A ceviche is cured in leche de tigre (tiger's milk — a citrus and chilli marinade) and typically includes chunky accompaniments such as sweet potato and choclo corn. A tiradito is sliced thinly like sashimi and dressed with a lighter, more delicate sauce; COYA's tiraditos draw on the Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei tradition, so you'll see flavours like daikon, tobiko, ponzu, and truffle.
