Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I tried the yucca and cheese empanadas, potatoes stuffed with meat, causitas Pucllana, and the classic fish cebiche — everything was delicious! For dessert, I had the suspiro de limeña topped with meringue. It was very sweet, and I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was amazing, especially with the beautiful view of the Pucllana ruins. Highly recommend! Pricey, but good ambience and the food is decent. There is a large outdoor (covered) section so the noise level is low despite the place being about 80% full at round 2:30PM. Our local tour booked this place, situated right next to the archeological site (admission to the site not included). Although both dishes are good, I would highly recommend the duck one on the left. This restaurant in placed in a privileged place and the food is fantastic. However, I felt waiters are not there to make your experience unique like the surroundings but to do their job and that's it. Maybe the administration needs to change the way they operate; I was assisted by, at least, 5 different waiters who didn't know what stage of dinner I was in or about the last request I had made. This place has the potential to be in the top of every list. Don't waste the opportunity.

After an evening tour of the Pucllana archaeological site, we wanted to have dinner overlooking the ruins. Everything we tried was delicious, and the view made the night feel both romantic and magical. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the experience. We especially enjoyed the cheesy scallops, the crunchy-yet-sweet shrimp, and the perfectly cooked beef tenderloin with scalloped potatoes. To finish, the volcano cake provided just the right touch of sweetness to end the evening. It is definitely a good idea to reserve a table in advance if you want a better viewpoint of the ruins. The restaurant is beautifully designed and can accommodate larger parties or intimate dates. The prices were higher than some spots in Lima but fair considering the quality of food and the ambiance.

Dinner when the lights come on and the pyramid lights up is the best time of the evening! The food is great and the atmosphere even better. 2000+ years of history while sipping cocktails and enjoying gourmet Peruvian cuisine. The stuffed pepper and a chocolate sundae for dessert… extra yummy!
