Reviews
My family and me visited several times in last few years and again recently, hoping the food will improve. I don’t know how this restaurant still exists because food is very mediocre but he asks expensive prices. Everytime we went there was a problem, wrong order, or they don’t have the item in the menu, or they forget something or simply not tasting anything special just very basic food. They have only 2 people serving so they run around a lot. The Garden is nice but could benefit of some new furniture and be more clean, it feels messy outside. I really hope the owner gives up, and a new beautiful and rich owner invests to make a wonderful restaurant there - Or this owner can make it a bodega style with lower prices and serve also street food. He is asking 18€ for a small apetizer and he serves it in a shirt with visible hairy armpits to a family that is nicely dressed for a nice dinner. Clearly they are struggling for years and also have a bad kitchen. it seems the owner does not invest back the money he makes. We will never come again until there is another restaurant there. I am sorry.
The food was delicious; as peruvian I have to say that this is one of the best Peruvian restaurants in Europe. I loved the atmosphere because the restaurant has Peruvian decorations and they also play Peruvian music like northern cumbias, which I really enjoyed. I recommend trying the desserts, the ceviche, and the jalea.
Beautiful place , perfect location and superb service. Ordered the classic ceviche and the lomo saltado. The lomo was perfect, a joy with every bite. The ceviche was good however I was expecting to get the authentic fresh corn in the dish and not the canned yellow corn you buy from supermarkets.
