You can not go wrong here. We stumbled upon the restaurant by accident without a reservation and before they had opened officially for the night. In spite of this we were welcomed enthusiastically and given so much personalised service. The food is incredible- everything on the menu is handled with a lot of respect for the ingredients and creativity in... More

The food was very good although the tiradito seemed a little boring to me. Very good bread and ceviche. The gelato at the end (algarrobina) was excellent. As stated by others, the location around the restaurant is horrible. Do not think about driving there and be careful. However, once you cross the gate into the courtyard the setting is beautiful.

The restaurant is very beautiful. The staff was very attentive. By far one of the best restaurants I visited in Lima. They serve an excellent pisco sour. The ceviche was amazing.

The food was great, the service good (quite slow tho) but the location of the restaurant is terrible. I really recommend trying the causa and salmon. Make sure you call a cab to get in - out. Don't even try to walk around the area of the restaurant !!!

Great find in an area you would never guess behind the wall with a friendly doorman lies this great restaurant. English menu, mainly seafood. Great friendly patient helpful service. You should try it!

Driving through the threadbare backstreets of the Barranco district of Lima finding this hidden away Peruvian cuisine restaurant of international standard is a nice surprise. Top, professional service pared with a great selection of highly imaginative Peruvian (mainly seafood) dishes makes it worthwhile asking a local taxi to find the place. We tried the seabass, the tuna and the paiche,... More

Read many reviews before going and finally decided to give this one a try. It was a good choice for a nice and sunny saturday lunch. The grilled octopus was perfectly cooked and fresh, simply delicious and the way it has to be. The pisco sour was well prepared, right mix! the best one I had on a long time... More

Our favourite restaurant in Lima. A little hard to find (entrance is not on the main street, but on the lane behind) but definitely worth it. We arrived unfashionably early, around 9pm, but we're glad we did - we were ushered to the bar, had the most amazing pisco sours (Maracuya sour is a must, and they had another sour... More

This restaurant is particularly nice during spring or summer on a sunny day. They have changed their menu not long ago, but the chef is very flexible and happy to serve some of the old dishes. I recommend picante de mariscos. The tuna is spectacular too and the traditional ceviche is a delight.

Have been there for a business lunch and had a wonderful experience. Great service and food in a comfortable and relaxing ambient. It should be even nicer at night...
