Astrid y Gastón

I was able to be seated by myself at the bar right when the restaurant opened for the night without a reservation. The server was very helpful in suggesting things for me to try and how much food would fill me up. Staff, including the bartenders, were all very well informed about the menu, ingredients and their origins. I liked the decorations and the fact that you are dining in open air. Everything that I did order was tasty, unique, and presented very well with beautiful, colorful plating. Dishes came out quickly so I was able to order one or two things at a time and order more as I needed. The cocktails were also inventive and well executed, a bit boozy but very rounded and tasty. The suckling pig taco that I had stood out, but I would get everything that I tried again. Living in an area where there are many Michelin star restaurants, I would say that this place could have 1 star and I would feel it was appropriate. I like how straightforward Peruvian food is and I felt this restaurant did a great job at having a lot of the classic flavors in an elevated way.

Service and ambiance was 10/10. Personally I thought the food was ok. For this price point I wanted to be blown away however I was not. Don't get me wrong, it wasnt bad by any means. But wasnt spectacular taste. Probably would bot return but this would be a great spot for a date. My favorite bite was the cuy appetizer bite. That was a 9/10.

Astrid y Gastón is hands down my favourite restaurant in Lima. I have to come here each time I'm visiting. They have all classic peruvian dishes, but with a little twist. These are the better versions of already tasty dishes. I especially love banana and fried egg extension of lomo saltado. The seating area in the middle is beautiful and combination with the music makes unforgettable atmosphere. Reservation is recommend (reservations are usually seating indoor, so not in the middle with the tree). 5 out of 5.

Make sure you reserve your table in advance as this restaurant fills up even on weekdays. I absolutely loved eating here. The restaurant several different eating areas on different levels, so it does not seem as crowded or full as it really is. The table are spaced far enough not to feel claustrophobic and the overall volume of the restaurant is good enough to be able to conduct a conversation with your table mates without shouting. All, absolutely all, the cocktails, dishes, appetizers, and desserts we ordered were delicious. Service was very attentive, and helpful. Or server spoke fluent English and was able to describe it dishes perfectly. This restaurant is a must when traveling to Lima

This restaurant is in open air space, I mean the inside space is just as cold as sitting on the outside spaces. If I’ve known that I would have wear a warmer jacket to dinner instead of just a dress shirt. Few of us in our group were cold during the whole lovely dinner. The interior space is very pretty and sitting by the kitchen was a bonus, we get to see them cook and do magic with our food. All I remember was the food was excellent but I was cold.
