4.8 / 5.0(1,376 reviews)
Incredible food and very welcoming. We had the grilled octopus appetizer, shrimp chupe, and seafood locro. Best octopus I’ve ever had! I would have ordered my seafood entree again if I hadn’t been so full with the first! So flavorful and delicious. Even our cocktails were clearly created with attention to detail. What an amazing dining experience! From the moment we arrived, Fernando made us feel truly welcome! His attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism stood out the entire evening. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! The restaurant’s atmosphere is warm and elegant, with a cozy Andean-modern vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. The lighting, music, and decor create the perfect balance between sophistication and comfort. The food was delicious and what really made the night unforgettable was the exceptional service! Once you get through the locked gates, it's a great experience..good choice of dishes and on the site created drinks ...can recommend the swordfish 😋..decent value at under £50 for starter, main and couple of glasses of wine .

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! The staff and food were both outstanding and far exceeded my expectations. We sat on the patio which is a beautiful, intimate space. The decor is llama themed and artfully arranged. You absolutely must try the duck dumplings, corviches, and pork belly. Our biggest regret was not going back before we left to try more from the menu!
