Read more about the place in articles and comments, so I was curious, the cook apparently worked on a TV show.... right. This is the second time I go to a place with good press articles, clear are the prejudices and probably not objective or I had bad luck. In this place was an empty, ok... We were only two tables and the food took forever, lack of taste, and we saw that the people who manipulate the food did not wear gloves I don't like. At some point I was in doubt when the one kitchen take some pieces from a returned tray to decorate a dish. Well, I'm sure I'm not going back... The food wasn't good at all.

Remembered me a bit of the type of dishes in Picanteria with excellent roasting served on wooden plates and dishes served in enamel bowls, all very fresh and extremely tasty. Someone's a very clever cook. We shared Ceviche dishes as appetizers that were excellent and served a bit different with maize pancakes. I had an assado for main and that was also really good, nice soft beef and crispy potatoes. My wife shared a duck dish and a grilled fish. All right. An excellent meal, beautiful atmosphere in a friendly place from the beaten track in Lima Centro. Well, worth the exploration to find it.

It might be harder to find for tourists, but thanks to our guide we had the chance to taste some of the great famous food in Lima here. Had the first Pisco mad here and it just tasted good. Had a small part of tuna cevechie with simple soy source. He had three excellent dishes. Everybody tasted great. I was happy to see them all. The services were great. Do not miss this restaurant when you are in Lima.

The menu says no MSG...a hard find in Peru where lots of spices and condiments are used. Israel allows you to TASTE the ingredients. I had one of the best causas I've ever tasted with mussels (I'm still salivating as I think about it). The fish was so tender and fresh! A foodie's favorite...GO!
