My boyfriend and me go here pretty frequently and always love it! Typical Peruvian interior with colourful table cloths and very friendly service in addition to the delicious food. There's a great variety to select from - cold and warm appetizers, a lot of sea food and fish dishes and also great meat for those who are not so much... More

The menu offers a lot of variety and there is something for everone. Loved the Pisco sours. Hot seviche AND cold seviche. Marisco soup was authentic. Pricey but great service! Try it.

Atmosphere was average and the service was standard. It is a clean and attractive place and their prices are about average for the... More

We don't know much about Peruvian food so we stuck with the seafood at Machu Picchu. That worked out quite well. The menu is extensive, with dozens of seafood entrees and appetizers, plus some Peruvian favorites that others in our group enjoyed. Useful tip: The fish Panama menus call "corvina" is known as sea bass in North America. Yet it's... More

We were recommended to go here by our hotel. Grilled octopus was amazing, as was the ceviche. But the main courses were a disappointment. Sea bass was overcooked and bland and the lomo Saltado did not use very good meat. Overall is was an average meal and not a great value.

This is one of the better restaurants in Boquete. In the middle of town, this Peruvian restaurant specializes in fish and seafood. Try the slightly spicy calamari, or perfect seafood salad for appetizers. For main courses, there is fresh sea bass prepared in a variety of methods and try a pisco sour!

The service is pretty good, and the food is absolutely delicious. I ordered some chicken meal, and it tastes so delicious. I've been there twice in the past, and both times it was fantastic food. If you go to Boquete, you have to go to this restaurant.
