Not only did we have our classic Peruvian dishes (including Ceviche and Lomo-Salzado) we were also treated with a really interested host who gave us many suggestions to try local specialities as we crossed the country. Also beautiful and quiet as we reached a few tables: exactly what we needed after a long day of sightseeing!

Great food from scratches, no half-done bought from grocery stores. Great service, friendly staff, spending time with you to explain what you eat and drink. Very delicious strong Pisco Sour you have Wi-Fi if you need. Absolutely recommended.

The staff were very friendly and got us an English menu and someone to explain it and make recommendations. We got a Ravioli in Tomato Sauce, a Fried Cheese starter, Huancayo-style Potatoes, Vegetable-Mayo Stuffed Avocado, a Ceviche. To drink, we ordered three different Pisco cocktails.The food was decent, the Ravioli being the best of the lot. The cocktails were all awesome, particularly the traditional Pisco Sour.
