Located on Monmouth Street in Seven Dials, the 22-seater restaurant will serve more expansive menu than Crudo’s other sites, combining signature dishes with some new additions, exclusive to the Seven Dials site.
At lunch, Crudo’s menu will be designed for the to-go audience, offering signature bowls as well as main menu items such as clásico sea bass with leche de tigre, quinoa, avocado, sweet potato, cancha corn and plantain chips; and nikkei Salmon, ponzu leche de tigre, sushi rice, wakame, edamame, crispy onion and nori seaweed. In the evening, the menu will expand to include small plates with a range of empanadas, tiraditos and ceviches.
Unique to the Seven Dials site will be a pisco sour and oyster happy hour, running Monday to Friday from 3pm until 5pm offering rock and native oysters for £1.50, dressed oysters for £5 and 3 oysters with a pisco sour for £16.
“We are thrilled to bring our take on fresh ceviche to Seven Dials with this new site. The offering will blend our much-loved lunch bowl options and the evening menu at Mare Street to create a really well-rounded site. And of course, we had to introduce a solid pisco sour happy hour to spread our house cocktail to this new audience,” say founders Maria Yanez and Carlos Socorro.
Venezuela born Yanez and Socorro launched Crudo in Fitzrovia in September 2019. This was followed by a site in Old Street with a further restaurant opening on Hackney’s Mare Street in November 2022.
Speaking to Restaurant earlier this year, the pair said the new restaurant would give the brand greater awareness.
“What Shaftesbury Capital [Seven Dials’ landlord] liked about us is our ability to transition from a casual, grab-and-go lunch focus to being more of a small plates and snacks concept in the evening; and that’s what we’re looking to create in that space. It’s a great opportunity and it give us a much bigger platform to push the brand forward.”
The Seven Dials restaurant will open on 26 May.
