Why Travelers Love Chipe Libre
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Good food and atmosphere. Service could be better given the amount of swirling staff. The shrimp tacos, excellent. The fish sandwich and beef sandwich were very good, and huge. The pisco sours were very good, but on the pricey side. A bold little republic of pisco-fueled flavour and freedom. Walked into Chipe Libre expecting a tourist trap, walked out fully converted. The place is big—but doesn’t feel commercial. It feels curated. Think moody lighting, old-world maps, polished timber and the low hum of people actually enjoying their food. Ambience? Nailed. Service? Slick, warm, and unfussy. They know what they’re doing and make you feel like you do too. Not cheap, sure—but every peso earns its keep. I ordered the grilled steak, swapped out the fries for sautéed vegetables because I was full of bad decisions from earlier in the day. The steak came out medium-rare perfection, seared with confidence, no nonsense chimichurri, and a clean, earthy plate that let the meat shine. No flourishes. Just skill. And then… Orange cake with rocoto ice cream. Yeah, you read that right. Spicy. Cold. Sweet. Like a tango between a Peruvian grandma and a Michelin-trained madman. The cake was soft, citrus-zesty, restrained. The ice cream? A spicy slap in the face—in the best way. Unforgettable. Would I come back? In a heartbeat. Or a pisco heartbeat. Same thing here. Amazing food. Super tasty . I would say « fall in love with first bite of Ceviche.. oh! It’s really good taste and spicy.
