Was Anonym at Rafael a mag?
Lima is a city with some of the best restaurant in the world. At Rafael, located in the neighborhood of Miraflores, I ate the best gnocchi in the world......and I am italian...I know gnocchi! View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about Rafael:
I'll be short. many people in a very compact space. they do not limit the number of customers, somehow they come away with Peruvian binding policies. we arrived on time and our food was served and minutes later. I asked for a cocktail and I never got it. the bathroom signs are very misleading... most customers are out of the country and use the women's restroom think that m stands for men when in reality for MUJERES....

We came to this place on the advice of a friend who had beautiful things to say. I'm starting with the good one, that's that we had an appetizer that deserved praise. it was delicious. the atmosphere was underestimated and... uncomfortable from there it got worse. my cocktail was a variation of a manhattan and had a strange smokey aftertaste, and an unfortunate mix of other aromen, almost ok, but off. the appetizer of my partner (scallops) was burned. the deres (groupers and ducks) both came oversalted to not taste them. the grouper was also burned, where he was supposed to be “charred”. when we asked for corrections, we received exactly the same amount as on the plate that is, there was no compensation for what we ate, that was of poor quality before it was, honestly terrible after a few bites. it was as if “head” thought we were playing him for more food, not in an honest dialogue. we were not, and it came as cheap, not as a high-class restaurant in high standards. disappoint. the waiter “verplaint” about the saltiness of the fish, tries to push the idea that because it is seafood it is always so salty, really, he said that as we have never eaten fish before! also when we consider our who heard the waiter, but it was obvious that he did not take us really seriously. this evening there was a football game of “great importance”, as it was occupied by the happy screams from the kitchen when tore were achieved. there was a TV in the kitchen. Perhaps this explains the total lack of attention to eating and the drink we were served. it was terrible quality compared to hype, unfinished, haughtily presented and uncorrected. very disappointing. I recommend to avoid this restaurant and its hubris.
Let me start by informing everyone that this is an unfortunate story that had to be told about this restaurant. I ordered Acapulco as cocktail. There was a complimentary bread basket with thinly sliced meat (pork maybe) and butter. I chose both the Crab Claws...and Scallop Roast for starters. Linguine Seafood and Caviar as my main. The crab claws tasted weird not fresh. The bread basket was tasty but salty. The scallop toast was delicious but also tasted weird. The linguine was okay but tasted more like wheat pasta. I got food poisoning from this restaurant on top of an average dinner. I cannot recommend this establishment. What happened to me was disgraceful.
The atmosphere, eating and the wine was amazing! first class service included! incl. small surprise for my birthday
Amazing eating in an excellent atmosphere. the service was top-notch. I'm looking forward to the return. the location is also perfect. walking distance to hotels in miraflores.
