An authentic experience in Lima both for food and a friendly atmosphere. Most of the food can be shared by two people and the main dishes by an entire family! They have a dark lager! It’s a local beer, Cusqueña Negra, and I recommend it for those who like dark beer. Diet Coke here is Coke Sin Azucar (Coke with no sugar). Yes, they have a full bar. So you can get your pisco sour and ceviche at this place. We were blessed to have Yul as a server and he was very patient with us. He explained every dish and even had good recommendations for us. We’re not big eaters so it was very helpful So we don’t waste food. He helped us share our dishes to the next table since it was too much and we didn’t want it to go to waste. Señor Maximo and Señorita Ariana by the door helped us get seated at the second floor. It was quieter and you can relax a lot more than seeing the waiting crowd downstairs. Definitely a must when you’re in Barranco! A wonderful dining experience! We chose this restaurant based on previous reviews, and it certainly lived up to expectations. We shared an entree and a main between two, as previous reviews indicated that portion sizes were generous — and indeed they were. The dishes ordered were tantalising and full of flavour. The pisco sour was also generous (and strong) in comparison to what I've tried back home! Could not fault a thing — food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. Absolutely incredible. Service was outstanding. Food is amazing. Pisco Punch - 5/5 Cebiche Pulpo - 5/5 Lomo Saltado - 5/5 Suspiro Clasico - 5/5 Our server was super friendly and had great recommendations. The pisco punch was huge! Very tasty. The cebiche was fresh and delicious. Lomo was incredible. Amazing flavors and the steak was so juicy and tender. Perfectly cooked. The dessert was outstanding. One of the best desserts I have ever had. Super flavorful and creamy. Indescribable. Phenomenal place.

This is lovely slightly posh restaurant with traditional peruvian dishes. Service was nice, and the location is lovely. The food was excellent and generous. I would strongly recommend to make a reservation (we were lucky and couple of minutes later the queue started to form outside). I would come again.

I went alone and put my name on the list, then came back an hour later and got seated. Unfortunately, the table I was given was awkward and not very comfortable. The service felt purely transactional: they took my order, brought the food, never checked in to see if I liked it, and then asked for a tip. The crispy fish sandwich was very crunchy and salty but lacked depth of flavor. Even with mayo, it felt dry and unbalanced. The beef dish had tender meat, but it was also quite salty, and the fries in the sauce made it feel oily and heavy. On the plus side, the portions were generous. The experience wasn’t terrible, but for the hype around this place, it felt overrated and underwhelming.
