Martin Morales

Martin Morales is the founder and MD of Ceviche, one of London's best
new restaurants. Born out of the frustration of not having a great
Peruvian restaurant in London, Martin quit his job as Executive Director
at Disney in 2010 to start Ceviche.

At that time, as @martinceviche his first tweet was: "Does anyone care
about Peruvian food?". Support from food bloggers, chefs and writers
followed so he opened supper clubs at his home, then pop ups and now
Ceviche is a restaurant. Tomorrow Ceviche will go into even more fun
and innovative directions.

"This place is brilliant. The cooking is super-confident, rare and
interesting, the look of the room is great and the bar must be fantastic in
the evening, the music is lovely, the staff are incredibly sweet and kind
and even the loos are very cute. And its cheap. I never really want to go
anywhere else again."
The Times, Giles Coren, May 2012.
