Che Restobar

Great ambience and wine menu to complement good conversation. The Londonlicious menu was perfect and holy those churros are worth going for. They have an amazing app menu and will definitely back for apps and drinks. Awesome service as well for the things I couldn’t pronounce or comprehend.

I’m not sure it is as good as it once was. The wine list is good and the menu is interesting, but of the three times I’ve been, I generally feel like each visit has been less satisfying than the last. I usually go when I have a craving for ceviche, but it was frankly quite forgettable on my last visit. I’m hoping my next visit will restore my faith in Che.

A friend and I had heard good things about tho pace, so we decided to check it out. We were greeted by a very friendly gentleman and asked where we would like to sit. So far so good. The lighting was a bit dim (I noticed another reviewer had said it was too bright, so they must have installed dimmer switches) but the atmosphere was cosy. Our server came and checked on us and was happy to answer any questions. We settled on a glass of wine and some apps — the yucca poutine and the beef skewers. The skewers were tasty, but the poutine was not a hit. The tapenade overpowered the gravy — will have to try something else next time.
Overall, we were impressed with the service, but not so much with the food.

I went here recently with a large party of friends. The atmosphere was cozier than the last time I was there due to the dimmed lighting. Service overall was excellent; our waiter was very attentive.
I ordered the tuna ceviche to start. I had ordered this the last time I was there and liked the dish. Unfortunately this time it was a little disappointing. Firstly, as an appetizer course it’s huge! The first time I was there it was served in a small glass and the tuna was cut quite small. They changed the dish to include quite large chunks of tuna and it is served in a massive soup bowl that is full. It was still flavourful and nicely seasoned, but I was worried that I would ruin my appetite for dinner if I ate it all.
Others at my table ordered the Yucca poutine which was declared interesting. The calamari was also deemed tasty but the chicken skewers received the best review.
Most people at the table ordered the paella as the main. The portion is huge and overall most were pleased with the dish. There were a few mussels on everyone’s plate that hadn’t opened… c’est la vie. One of our party ordered the seafood soup as the main and it was declared delicious. I ordered the Mole chicken. The mole sauce was great but I wasn’t that impressed with the zucchini noodles that came with it. They were a bit cold when I got them.
For dessert our table ordered the donuts to share. So good. Wanted to eat all of them.
Overall a positive experience.

A girlfriend and I have made this our new go-​to when we can’t decide where to go. The food is always amazing and the staff is extremely friendly. Plus they have great art hanging for your enjoyment.
If you’re unsure on what to order as an app the ceviche mixto is always fresh and well worth it.
Of particular note is the donuts they serve for dessert. We’ve been told this isn’t necessarily always on the menu but it’s such a fan favourite that they are unlikely to have a time when its *not* available. Even if you think you’re full, be sure to at least get an order to share!

I went for the Londonlicious menu a few weeks back and was not impressed. My martini was incredibly diluted and the food portions were very small. It tasted fine, but when I’m paying $ 35 a person I’m expecting a tad better than «fine».
The wait staff was not very attentive and it was difficult to get their attention for anything but water. My boyfriend and I waited 50 minutes for our appetizers to come. The couple behind us (who also sat down after we had arrived) was already on their entrées by the time we had anything on our table. I’m fairly certain that our waitress forgot to put our order in, but what irks me the most is that when I tried getting the attention of the servers, some would literally walk right across me or smile and walk by. They didn’t even bother to stop and listen.
In addition, there was no toilet paper in the washrooms and I had to do the awkward hop between stalls in search of some.
TLDR — decent food, horrible staff, not worth the price that it’s being sold at

This was an excellent restaurant. It’s really too bad that they are in London and not in Toronto or another lively night city because the food is EXCELLENT and the music is awesome but there is no one here on a Tuesday night… I guess you can’t expect much more from London on a Tuesday.
Anyway, it’s not cheap. We came as a group of 3, had one app and three entrees and paid $ 114 bucks with tip. To some that might be cheap? Not me! But the food was sooooooo good!!!
First of all, the app was crispy fried calamari and it’s like no calamari I ever had before. It was covered in some kind of dark, ground down barley/​quinoa/​wheat blend? It was DELICIOUS!!! With an spicy Peruvian pepper sauce and an avocado/​cilantro dip. A+.
We all kind of shared the seared ahi tuna, my 12oz rib eye medium rare and the paella. I would definitely recommend the paella.
Paella — full of mussels, chorizo, calamari, shrimp, prawns. In this amazing wine tasting sauce. Just so good. A little strange to me that it didn’t come in the usual flat dish? But didn’t take anything away from it.
Tuna — came with fries plantain slices, inside of which was quinoa, strings of beets and salad and a mixed greens salad. The ahi tuna was superb!!!
Steak — ok so the yuka chips/​slices were amazing. The pico de gallo was the best I have ever had. Seriously. The steak was covered in some kind of sauce… It was green and herby and just amazing. The steak was… ok. I mean the meat was fresh and tasted good but I don’t think this is the right kind of cook for me? I like my rib eye done 3 – 4 minutes on each side in rosemary oil so maybe I am a little picky? It was chewy vs. Buttery soft. But i think you just have to find the right «done» for you.
I will come back. The menu selection is not overwhelming and the food is professionally and exceptionally done. Way to go guys, so much respect for staying afloat in such a city that is so dead during the week.

Food was delicious and unique. I have tried several appetizers they were all great. Although, they have a great selection of good wines, I can’t say the same for the cocktails, they were prepared imprecisely.
One think was so unprofessional. They were given little samples of their cocktails to some of the costumers, but not all of them. Which I found irritating.
In a nutshell, it is small and friendly place…

We went with a party of four. At first they couldn’t find our reservation. Not sure if they actually found it, or if they just found us space. No problem there, as the delay was minimal.
The menu is small. Our waiter listened to my allergies, then went to find out what I could order. Very helpful.
Our party enjoyed tuna tiraditos as an appetizer. They were quite pleased. I settled on a variation of the salmon offering as a main course. One of us ordered the ribeye ($ 24), which was fine, but nothing special. The remaining two main courses were fine, but again, not remarkable.
Oddly, I found the place to be overly well lit. It would benefit from dimmer switches.
All in all fine, but not outstanding.

Fantastic South American food and drink. My new go-​to place for a nice meal here in London town.
Starters are mostly ceviche and ‘tiraditos’, which is a bit like sashimi. Mains include steak, chicken, some fish options, and paella. I had the chupe soup, a fish stew that is frankly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Cocktails include Southern American specialties like mohitos and caipirinhas, plus a nice assortment of wines by the bottle and glass.
Service is courteous, knowledgeable and professional. The space is bright and modern with a nice mix exposed brick — smart but casual.
Highly, highly recommended.

Delicious ribeye steak with yuca fries. Delicious mojito. Delicious guava-​infused crème brûlée and passionfruit cheesecake. Delicious and creative cocktails concocted by Marvin himself. Need I say more? A fantastic meal in a beautifully decorated restaurant. Will definitely be back and highly recommend it.

Although not extensive, the menu is unique and filled with Peruvian, Argentinian and Brazilian flavors. I ate here all three days I was visiting just for the «ceviche mixto» — Che Restobar offers 4 variations of ceviche. I took friends who each ordered something different. The chimichurri steak was my other favorite. I heard the Paella was delicious. Looking at the business card the owner has deemed it «modern latinamerican cuisine»
Good wine list but the cocktails look fun as well since they also have that latin american twist. Considering the atmosphere, portions, food presentation and taste the prices are very reasonable. $ 20-​$ 26 CAD, $ 8 for a glass of wine, $ 32 bottle, ceviche appetizers were $ 10, cocktails $ 8
The owner, Marvin, and the rest of the staff are very friendly. It is simply and beautifully decorated — would be great for art shows and small bands /​dj’s. There is a small bar and a nice seating area. This is exactly the kind of bar I would frequent back home in Los Angeles. To all visiting London, ON: please check it out and support great small business like these. You won’t regret it.
Attire: business casual, can be dressed up, but i went all three days in jeans and felt completetly comfortable.
