The service here was truly top notch and one of the highlights of our visit. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome, and the atmosphere was very casual and relaxed — exactly the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed. It made for a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was absolutely awesome. We ordered the Lomo Saltado, which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The portion size was surprisingly generous — easily enough for two people to share, especially if you’re pairing it with other dishes. It had that classic combination of savory beef, onions, tomatoes, and fries that makes this dish such a favorite, and it was seasoned just right. We also tried the mixed salad, which ended up being much bigger than we expected. It was fresh, crisp, and nicely put together, making it a great side to balance out the richness of the main dish. A special shout-out to Nick, our server, who was excellent. He was attentive without being overbearing, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience — great service, casual and welcoming ambiance, and excellent food that we would definitely come back for. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxed spot with consistently good dishes and friendly staff.

Tried tonight after reading the good reviews. We turned up after 17:30 without reservation (on Sundays they close at 19) and got a table upstairs. We ordered the Ají de Gallina and the Seco de Asado de Tira con Arroz y Frijoles. Both were excellent. The portions are super generous: we had a choice between a personal and a sharing portions - please trust me and stick with the personal, we're keen eaters but two dishes could easily have fed 3 people! I had a Pisco Sour, also excellent albeit extremely expensive at S/42 each - that's completely unjustified as I had the same at nearby Canta Rana for S/28. Service was fast and professional & the ambiance lovely. Highly recommend you try this place & I would definitely return. However, if it's ceviche you're after, I would suggest Canta Rana nearby for more choice and better price points.

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.

It’s a Peruvian taverna with good classical dishes but more expensive than other local Peruvian restaurants around where you can get same quality at better prices. It does not give authentic local vibe but more a spot where tourists goes. Lomo saltado was very good I have to say.

Amazing food! What else can I say?! Just real down Peruvian comfort food. Just make reservations ahead of time. Definitely one the best ones. Great location in Barranco to walk right after a great meal.

This is one of the more popular spots to eat in Miraflores and with good reason. They have a lower and an upper floor for dining. The staff was amazing and very kind, we got our food quite quick. We ordered their lomo saltado, make sure that your order for 1 or 2 people only as that is more than enough. Our portion was too big for both of us. However, the taste was really good. The ambience in the restaurant was great!

It is a small, warm and friendly place. The menu is exclusively seafood, everything is fresh. The ambiance is very cozy. The football fans find here a lot of interesting items. The prices are reasonable.

Recommended by a local, good food and good value! Love the ceviche, but I find the causa to be too saucy. Love the decor of a family restaurant, there is a story about the owner being from Argentina. The service can be slow and very little English is spoken, but it wasn't a problem ordering. Would definitely revisit when I come to Lima again.

Be aware that the portion is big and expensive. We walked in because we thought it would be at the rate of the locals. It’s not. The ceviches are nice but the rice would be for 6-8 persons portion and charging at a whopping 50 (12 euros). The football part is fun though.

The place looks very cool. I had a fish ceviche and it was good, but to be honest, not the best I've had - the soup itself had way too much lime/lemon juice, which made it too sour for my taste, compared to other places where I've tried it. Everything else was great.

My go to spot for ceviches and tiraditos in Lima, you must try their fish soup as well. Excellent quality products. My favorite : guarda royal + tiradito afogato especial.

Lovely place with very friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious and most portions were huge. I would love to go back!

Stumbled upon this spot while wandering around Barranco — it popped up high in the reviews, and for good reason. Packed, buzzing, full of locals and curious travelers. The kind of place where a plastic menu doesn’t mean mediocre — it means tradition. A friendly local couple helped me order, and what landed on the table was nothing short of a seafood riot: 🐟 Tiradito de pescado — delicate slices of fish, bathed in a sunshine-yellow ají amarillo sauce. Creamy, spicy, citrusy — Peruvian sashimi with attitude. Choclo kernels on the side, because Peru never forgets the corn. 🦐 Camarones al ajillo — sizzling shrimp drowned in a garlicky oil bath, served still bubbling. We tore through bread just to mop up the sauce. 🌶️ That little pot of chili? Beautifully brutal. A few drops go a long way. Respect. 🍮 Suspiro Limeña — silky manjar blanco topped with a port wine meringue. Light, rich, sweet — it’s what you’d want to end a meal with when you’ve gone heavy on salt and spice. ⏳ I barely waited 10 minutes — lucky me. Others queued long and hard. Worth it? Absolutely. 💸 Not cheap — but seafood rarely is. You get your money’s worth in flavor and authenticity. 🪑 Vibe? Classic Peruvian cantina: walls full of football memorabilia, families and solo diners packed tight, and the waitstaff running at full tilt. Zero pretension. Just food. 📍Would I return? In a heartbeat.

From the moment I walked in, the service was nothing short of phenomenal — exactly what I expected from a place of this caliber. The ambiance strikes a unique balance: an eclectically modern aesthetic with a spacious, open vibe. It’s worth noting that the openness extends to the kitchen sounds as well; whether the clatter and chatter enhance or disrupt your experience really depends on personal preference. The presentation of the dishes was absolutely stunning — again, no surprise there. Every plate felt meticulously crafted, and the wine and alcoholic drink pairings were thoughtfully curated, subtly yet meaningfully elevating the overall experience. Unfortunately, the taste was where things fell short. While everything was undeniably fresh and offered some intriguing, exotic notes, the flavors didn’t quite deliver the journey I was hoping for. Each dish felt balanced on its own, but as a whole, the tasting experience was flat, lacking the complexity and excitement that would make each bite memorable. In my judgment, this is exactly what I would expect from a tasting menu. Despite the outstanding service and atmosphere, I can’t fully recommend the culinary experience here. At this level, when everything else is raised so high, the flavors should be the true standout — and sadly, they just weren't.

A complete dining experience! The meal was simply incredible with highlights of duck, lobster and slow braised cow rib. The final dessert and chocolate lab tour were amazing! Worth every bit of time during the 3 hour dinner… a must while in Lima!

We had an unforgettable dining experience at Kjolle. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality stood out — a warm welcome in the garden, friendly conversation, and even a short introduction about the building before being guided to our table. The ambiance is minimal yet elegant: wooden and marble tables without cloths, spacious seating that ensures privacy with clever dividers, and a high wooden ceiling that creates both warmth and openness. Even small details, like individual bag stools and the variety of cutlery presented with each course, reflect thoughtful design. The service was attentive and seamless. Every staff member spoke excellent English, and small gestures made a big difference — pausing service when someone left the table, resetting napkins before dessert, and even escorting guests to the restroom. Hygiene was handled with grace, like using tweezers to place napkins. These touches show a world-class standard of care. As for the menu, every dish was both beautiful and delicious. Highlights for us included: • Corvina and Clams: interactive and flavorful, ending with a delicate broth. • Duck with Madre de Dios Nut and Sea Urchin: perfectly balanced, even for someone who usually avoids sea urchin. • Many Tubers: a celebration of Peru’s roots, with a storytelling element when the sachapapa plant was brought to our table. • Lobster with Charapita Chili and Cecina: an unexpected but harmonious combination. • Cow Rib: slow-cooked for 16 hours, rich and deeply satisfying, a perfect main course crescendo. The bread and honey butter at the start set a warm tone, while the desserts were a show in themselves — multiple creations inspired by cacao and Amazon fruits, visually stunning and varied in taste and texture. We also loved the thoughtful gift: a small art booklet pairing each dish with a piece of modern artwork, making the experience truly memorable. In total, the meal took around 1 hour 45 minutes — perfectly paced, never rushed, never dragging. Kjolle is not just about food; it is about storytelling, culture, and hospitality at the highest level. Every detail, from design to service rituals, reflects Pia León’s vision. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lima — this restaurant is a destination in itself.

Kjolle left us with mixed feelings. We received a warm welcome and overall good service, but I would have expected to be asked for drinks and have them served before the first course arrived. Instead, the first course came while we were still waiting to order drinks. Some dishes were excellent, but others felt like a hit or miss. Overall, we didn’t experience the explosion of flavors we had at Mérito earlier that week; but it was still an interesting experience

Astonishing Gastronomic Experience in Lima – Worth Every Penny Experiencing the gastronomy in Lima was truly astonishing — from breakfast to dinner, the city’s food culture amazed me. One highlight of our trip was dining at the #9 ranked restaurant in the world, where reservations must be made at least a month in advance. Located in a charming second-level bungalow with an open kitchen concept, the ambiance immediately set the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable evening. The meal began with a warm house-made bread served with a specially prepared herb butter — it was so good I couldn’t stop eating it. Then came the corvina fish and clam sashimi, seasoned in a bright citrus sauce and topped with sweet potato and white quinoa. It was refreshingly light and an excellent way to start the dinner. Next was the sea urchin prepared two ways. I especially loved the nutty-flavored preparation; the other, while flavorful, had a punchy sauce that slightly overpowered the delicate taste of the uni. We then enjoyed a unique dish featuring a medley of Peruvian ingredients like yuca, olluco, and shachappa, all brought together with a specially prepared nut-based sauce. It was both unusual and delicious. The scallops were served in a strong citrus-based sauce — a bit too sour for my liking — but the trio of scallop preparations, especially one with a jelly-like texture packed with umami, showed great creativity. The lobster dish was fantastic, enhanced by a rich crab oil extract that added deep umami. I also enjoyed the fried tempura greens, made with local Peruvian herbs — a clever and satisfying twist. For mains, I had the pork belly, which was perfectly cooked with just the right tenderness, and paired beautifully with a broth that elevated the dish. The ribs, however, were underwhelming — they tasted mostly of salt, lacking in spice or complexity. Dessert didn’t quite hit the mark for me, though that may be personal preference as I’m not a big dessert person. Special mention to our waiter and sommelier, Jerry, who provided excellent service. He let us sample various drinks — wines, mocktails, and cocktails — all thoughtfully paired. This dinner was not just a meal; it was a true culinary journey through Peruvian flavors and ingredients. The experience, the service, and the creativity of the dishes made it absolutely worth every penny.

Kjolle, is chef Pía León’s first independent venture. She rose to fame as the head chef of Central, which was named The World’s Best Restaurant in 2023. Kjolle means a high altitude Andean tree. The restaurant offers both à la carte and tasting menus. The food is excellent and meticulously prepared without compromising on the substance. Service was very polished.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Unforgettable Dining Experience in Lima” Our evening at Kjolle was truly extraordinary. From the very beginning, even at the reservation stage, the language used was polite, clear, and warm; and as soon as we stepped into the restaurant, we were welcomed with both warmth and professionalism. The ambiance was both impressive and calming, with details that evoked the nature of Peru. Throughout the menu, the journey from the Pacific coast to the Andes and then into the depths of the Amazon was conveyed clearly and harmoniously in every dish. Especially the corvina & clams and the duck & sea urchin dishes were outstanding. The beverage pairings (líquidos) were just as creative as the dishes; the Amazon fruits and Andean herbs brought to life in each glass made the experience truly unique. The final dessert with cacao, copoazú, and macambo felt like a genuine gift from Peru. Overall, Kjolle exceeded my expectations in every way. I experienced a meeting of sincerity, creativity, and flavor. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable gastronomic journey in Lima. 🌿✨

The meal was exceptional and is one of the best I have ever had. Honestly tasting menus make me a little nervous because I wonder if the imagination of the chef is just too far outside my comfort zone. Despite my nerves, I brought an open mind to this experience. As I reviewed the menu, cornbread jumped off the page. As a person who grew up eating cornbread, I was SURE that I would be disappointed. I have been to many restaurants who try to put some flare on cornbread and they fail. Well, it was not like Jiffy or any cornbread I have made from scratch. It was more like a sweet bread and the onion butter was wonderful. I was getting full but still regret I did not eat my last slice. I could go on and rave about almost every dish but who wants to read all of that and I assume the menu changes so it is not even helpful. But I need to say the beef was fantastic. I do not eat much red meat and was set to be underwhelmed and it was amazing. And since my review seems to be all sunshine, I will be real and say there was one part I did not like and it was a gelatinous portion of a dessert. It is a texture I do not enjoy but it was such a small component of the meal that if you feel the same way this will not really impact your satisfaction. What can I say, it is just my palate. By the dessert courses, I was pretty full any way but I managed to eat all of the thin cookies which gave me another surprise ….I enjoyed the white chocolate one. I generally love dark chocolate, will eat milk chocolate but pass on desserts with a white chocolate base. I was wrong again. This was great. I wish I had photos of all the courses. They were a treat for the eyes not just the stomach. I would go back in heartbeat. This was my best of many great meals in Lima.

One of the best dinners I can remember. The flavors were out of this world. Several of the dishes I will dream about for quite a while. The ambiance, the music, the staff. Five stars across the board! Really glad we read all the reviews and chose this as our last meal in Lima. Do not miss!

We ordered 5+1 things between two people and felt that it was enough food. Okay: popeye crab, white fish with cocona / Good: Scallops with sanki and jalapeño, Fish curry / Amazing: Lamb and tuber (tender and so succulent), Flan (soooo creamy with a slight burnt caramel taste on the sauce, the lightly bitter taste compliments the taste and texture of the custard very well). We also got the Chirimoya cocktail - taste was good, but also quite basic. I gave it 4 stars because only 1/5 dishes were really, really good in our opinion. Service from Cesmar was 💯, she was very attentive and thorough in her explanation of the dishes. We found the price affordable for this level of dining experience. For reference, our meal came to around 260 PEN per person. I recommend booking in advance, but if you didn't, it's worth walking in to check if they have any availability for that day/the next couple of days (this is what we did). Happy dining! 🥳

We had a fantastic experience with impeccable service and novel, exciting flavors as part of the tasting menu. We were continually blown away as each dish was brought out (I included a few fun pictures of some of my favorites). So many delicious tastes and exciting textures. We definitely had a few favorites but the entire menu was a delight. We felt the price was well worth it and the servers were very attendant throughout the night. The sommelier was also lovely and helped us select a bottle of sparkling wine from Argentina for the evening.

Unforgettable dining experience to round up a visit to Peru The concept of the menu overall, pairing of ingredients and textures are sophisticated and unique. Peru is known for its fantastic cuisine but Merito is just next level. The staff is exceptionally attentive and knowledgeable. We got interesting explanations about the dishes we were trying and the origins of ingredients. My biggest recommendation in Lima!

Very modern and innovative menu with ingredients all sourced from Peru. The service was top notch as you'd expect with a restaurant of this caliber. Most of the dishes were very well balanced between flavors and textures. Would recommend to anyone visiting Lima and looking for a fine dining experience.

Delicate, perfection is the word you can say about food in Merito. The food was amazing. I really had great time in this restaurant. If you visit Lima and looking for high quality of restaurant. Here is the one for you

Same as Maido, I left rather dissapointed food-wise. There was nothing wrong about it, but at the same time, there was nothing special about it. The experience on the other hand, was quite unique. Also a beautiful garden! One more issue I had was that the tip is not included, which I would honestly expect given the already very high price.

The Best Dining Experience in the World Central is, without a doubt, the number one restaurant on the planet. The entire experience—from the storytelling behind each dish to the flawless execution—is unforgettable. Virgilio Martínez, the visionary chef and owner, is one of the most creative talents in the culinary world today. His ability to take you on a journey through Peru’s ecosystems, altitudes, and ingredients is nothing short of genius. Every course is a revelation. The tasting menu is a beautifully choreographed journey through Peru’s diverse landscapes—from the Amazon to the Andes to the Pacific. Dishes like “Extreme Altitude” and “Amazonian Water” are not only exquisite in flavor, but also rooted in deep cultural and ecological meaning. The presentation is stunning, and each plate tells a story. The service and coordination were absolutely perfect, making the entire experience seamless. The liquor pairing (maridaje) was outstanding—thoughtfully curated to elevate each dish. Dining at Central is not just a meal—it’s a profound, inspiring experience. Truly the best I’ve ever had. Make a reservation—you’ll remember it for the rest of your life

This is a fabulous experience. They are so meticulous with every detail. It was wonderful to watch the bustle of the open kitchen, like a show. All the dinner ware and serving plates/dishes were so delicate and beautiful. And I love their theme of sourcing food from all altitudes in Peru. Most of the ingredients I have never heard of or tried before, so it was really intriguing. The service and atmosphere was definitely fit for a number one restaurant of the world. But I personally feel the food fell a little short. There’s prob a reason why every part of different animal and plants are not eaten, because it doesn’t taste great. But Central wanted to incorporate all parts into the meal. In the end it has the taste great and a few dishes did fall short. We also had a server who did not speak English very well and I couldn’t understand her explain the dish.

And finally Central. The flagship restaurant of legendary Peruvian Chef Virgilio Martínez. The restaurant is known for its contemporary interpretation of Peruvian cuisine using modern techniques. Each dish represents a specific Peruvian ecosystem, defined by altitude, ranging from below sea level to the high Andes. Central was crowned the world’s best restaurant for many years. The tasting menu typically features 12 courses. The dishes were “academic”; beautifully crafted but not always memorable in flavour cohesiveness. The experience is experimental with lot of effort in carving visually appealing dishes but the final outcome is confusing. One leaves without understanding what food did he have. The dining room is bright, minimalist, and open, with stone tables, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an open kitchen

“Dining at Central is not just a meal, it’s a journey through Peru’s ecosystems. From the moment we entered, the experience felt like visiting a living museum: the garden and entrance are filled with plants, trees, and ingredients that later appear on the menu. We were welcomed with warm towels, seated at a beautiful table designed with privacy in mind, and immediately noticed how attentive the service was. Every course came with its own unique cutlery and a small theatrical demonstration – sometimes a book with QR codes explaining the plants, sometimes an entire octopus or stones representing the Andean landscape. Even small gestures, like discreetly wiping drops of water on the table or changing napkins when leaving the table or before desserts, showed remarkable attention to detail. The 12-course tasting menu was extraordinary. Each dish represents a different altitude of Peru, from the depths of the sea to the highest Andes. Highlights included the Warm Sea Current with lobster and razor clam, Rainforest Connection with Amazonian fish, and the spectacular desserts inspired by the Sacred Valley and 100% cacao. Every plate felt like a masterpiece, both in taste and presentation. Service, storytelling, and culinary creativity are perfectly intertwined at Central. It’s educational, emotional, and delicious at the same time – an unforgettable dining experience and truly deserving of being named the best restaurant in the world.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Our experience at Central was simply flawless. The menu takes you on a journey through Peru’s ecosystems, from sea level to the mountain peaks. Each dish is not only about taste but also about storytelling; no flavor overwhelms the other, everything flows in perfect harmony. The garden welcome and the map we were given made us realize from the very beginning that this would be more than just a meal – it would be a geographical experience. The book that accompanies the courses was incredible; each page reveals a different side of Peru and completes the meaning of the dish. From the Rainforest to the Extreme Altitude, from the Savanna to the 100% Cacao, every stage impressed us with both its ingredients and its message. The cacao finale was a powerful closing, like a gift from Peru to the world. Central is a place that allows you to see the world through Peru’s eyes. The philosophy of the kitchen, the rhythm of service, the storytelling, and the balance of flavors are truly extraordinary. A journey that anyone interested in gastronomy should absolutely experience in Lima.”

** I am rating and saying opinions of what I would expect paying thousands of US dollars for a dinner** This place is overrated. Servers appeared to not want to work and the timing of bringing and taking away dishes was off. Mocktail pairing there were two repeated drinks and they were all fermented drinks and almost all tasted the same. Just sour. Couldn’t differentiate between the drinks towards the end. The courses started off strong with the first 4. But soon it went downhill for us. Dishes had a lot of foam elements. And the overall taste of everything was salty and couldn’t distinguish the different foods. It’s hard not to compare to other places that cost the same price. Service and food are NOT up to par. We paid 2,087.69 $ for three people. It cost us less to eat at a 2 Michelin star place with an extra person with us. Where the food and service was worth the price.

This place is a gem. The food was delicious and the cocktails were so good. Our server was very kind and everything he recommended was delicious! Def get the cheese tart for dessert. It was exquisite! 🤌🏽

Trendy restaurant with varied menu, indoor and outdoor streetside seating. We tried the ceviche and a pasta dish, both very nice but small portion size. Not a "quick lunch" kind of place.

Tucked away in Barranco is this little gem of a restaurant. It opens at 7:30pm and offers fresh fusion cuisine. I enjoyed the hamachi sashimi and Thai curry fish special. Both dishes were prepared perfectly and delicious! Dessert was a chocolate tart with vanilla ice cream.

We made a reservation with high hopes and with two of our party having a great experience once before. The restaurant is beautiful, with a knowledgeable and attentive waitstaff, but the food was unremarkable. We elected to have the chef’s choice menu when we made the reservation, which in my experience means the chef creates a progression of dishes for the diners. Instead, our waitstaff seemed to be choosing dishes off the menu as we went, essentially serving us a set of recommended plates rather than a combination curated by the chef. Ultimately, the cost of the food was not worth it. The cocktails were good (one of them was excellent), and we started with a tapas-style focaccia topped with aioli and tomato salsa with silverfish and avocado in leche de tigre. The dish was balanced and good, but nothing that I’ll be thinking about next week. We also had a salad with figs, an interesting but overly simple-flavored tortilla in a red sauce, pasta with clams (not nearly enough sauce, so the dish came across dry). Then, two dishes for specific discussion: 1) tuna with a potato puree: the tuna is the reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 1. This dish was the most excellent tuna that I have had in a very long time. The texture was phenomenal, and there were many levels of flavor with the soy sauce and mirin. The potato puree was fine but unexceptional. 2) our final dish was fish (cooked well but unimpressive flavor) in a curry sauce accompanied by ají amarillo stuffed with a paste of banana. Never have I had such a strange combination of flavors, and it didn’t work for me. As well, the soft paste oozed out when cutting the tougher pepper. The curry and fish felt unrelated to this odd stuffed pepper, and nothing about it worked for me. With the exception of our final dish, nothing was bad, and one dish was beyond excellent. However, I would expect to pay half the price or to have a quality of food that is twice as good.

Siete was our final stop in Lima and our excellent experience with Peruvian cuisine continued. Siete is another small gem located in the Barranco neighborhood and delivers a mix of fine dishes and an excellent choice of background music (lots of 80s and others). We had the Pesca al Dia al Curry and Ceviche de Lenguado which were both wonderful. Finished off with sticky pudding with ice cream.... Highly recommend!

Excellent experience in Siete: every plate ordered was incredibly tasty and well balanced. Service very attentive and kind. Super recommended!

Everything about this restaurant from the service and ambience, to the food was perfect. I had the catch of the day with Thai curry sauce, which might have been one of the best fish dishes I’ve had in a long time. Definitely couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough

Before dinner tonight, let's have a drink before we wait for dinner (😂) at Ayahuasca Restobar. This shop also has a cocktail called Ayahuasca Sour. I asked if it was made from Ayahuasca and she said no, it's just the name. 😂😂😅 Okay, but I didn't order that cocktail anyway. But the other glasses were all good. Local ingredients, local liquors as usual. The shop is very beautiful.

I'm absolutely OBSESSED with this place! I stopped by for lunch, but I can only imagine how magical dinner must be. This restaurant/bar consistently exceeds my expectations - they're one of those rare gems that never disappoint. Their handcrafted cocktails are truly some of the best in Barranco! The food? Absolutely divine. I devoured the octopus with sautéed vegetables, and the chicken nuggets were a surprising highlight. But what really sets this place apart is its unique atmosphere. From the moment I stepped inside, I fell in love with the exterior and interior design of the building. And then there's the courtyard... it's like a little slice of heaven. The combination of high tables, outdoor seating, and cozy heated lamps creates the perfect ambiance, even on chilly days. I can only imagine how breathtaking it must look at night. If you're looking for a truly special experience in Barranco, look no further. This place will capture your heart!

They serve a delicious Anticucho (skewered beef heart) and delicious Lomo Salteado. Good fancy spot to try it at for the first time. New Orleans type house. Colorful.

One of the most impressive buildings in Barranco, it truly stands out. As for the food, it’s good, though a bit overpriced.

Cool and atmospheric bar with an unique vibe.

A lovely little spot. We had a great meal and got to see a demo from the chef too!

The service was great and friendly, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting.

Psst, don't tell too many. Enjoying a mid afternoon cerveza, with some of "the locals". Animated conversations, really friendly service, great decor/ atmosphere. (BTW, they only take cash.)

Started in 1926...excellent pisco sour but an even better ham and cheese

Great bar with supercool atmosphere. Nice drinks. Nice food. Recommend the olives

Really nice spot to get a beer and some food. Lovely looking place from the inside. Nice clean bathrooms when we went. Just super chill and friendly.

Good little local bar Bags of character stop bye it’s cheap and welcoming

What a great bar with pure tradition! Must see in barancco, full of locals and true vibe. Take a jamon del Norte and thanks me later

This is the neighborhood bar I wish I had in my neighborhood. There is an eclectic mix of customers and workers. The age range of patrons varies from young students studying for their exams, all the way up to the retired fellow kicking back on a Wednesday afternoon with his buddies talking about old times. The sandwiches sliced up perfectly in front of your eyes are perfectly done by the old man sitting behind the counter who has been doing this job since he was just a young lad. Do yourself a favor and drop by for a cold beer, a stiff drink, and delicious deli sandwich. No frills, tons of history, and a perfect afternoon/evening spent in a local dive.

Bustling chifa (Chinese-Peruvian) restaurant in Barronco set in a large and nicely decorated space. Came here with a group of 7 for lunch, and the place was pretty packed. Family portion sizes are huge - a few at the table ordered a family size soup to share and it was the size of a crockpot. A few vegetarian options - rice, noodle dishes with vegetables and tofu. Food was tasty, though greasy (not unexpected). Staff was friendly and was very appreciative that I left a tip (so much so that the manager came over to thank me and then gave me a gift).

Amazing food with even more amazing portions. This restaurant has been in the same location for decades, remember coming here with my parents as a small child. Obviously the place still looks like it’s been there for a hundred years but don’t let the place deter you from going

Great spot for classic chifa (Chinese Peruvian food). Cheap and large plates. Bunch of locals and tourists there. The private dining style area was pretty cool.

This place is great. Service, ambience and food were all perfect. Would return

one of the best chifas in Barranco. I always come here when I come to Lima. this time I brought my son and absolutely love it.

First time eating Chifa food. The portions are insanely large. I'm not sure what I was expecting: it's neither authentic Chinese nor authentic "American" Chinese. A bit of a strange aberration--but locals seem to like it. We ordered three dishes and probably have enough leftovers for a week

Pretty good fried rice with pork pieces. Cool Chinese atmosphere and decoration in the restaurant. Not bad for 20.5 Sols for personal size.

The food was fresh and delicious! You can tell they make the yogurt handmade with culture, it had such an incredible flavor to it. Honey was very savory and local Peruvian. Staff was kind and patient with my mediocre Spanish abilities ":-) They have a beautiful garden section, I'd highly recommend sitting outdoors if the weather is nice out!

Their Lucuma shake is really good. It is caramel-ly thick and sweet – felt like drinking ice cream. I wasn't able to finish it in one go. Their garden area was great; it was serene.

Personally (I cant speak to other people's tastes), this was the worst salmon poke I've had. I don't think it's their fault it really just tasted like bland rice, canned pineapple, and smoked salmon for 30+ soles. After mixing it this is what it looks like. The garden is super cute, the vibes are really chill, I'm sure if you came for a drink it'd be nice.

Such a cute gem here. Absolutely beautiful, located next to a gorgeous park, with locals all around. The customer service was phenomenal and the smoothies were outstanding. Must try!

Beautiful location in Barranco. Was my girlfriend first experience with Butifarra and a local breakfast and really set up the bar high! The meat was very tender and the place itself was beautiful.

I love their poke bowl 🍜 and the naturey ambiance of the restaurant.. but I love the free cat nap service on my lap the most 😻😻

Really nice Blue Smoothie. The açaí bowl was okay, but with more fruits would be better. The eggs were really delicious, but a little bit small portion. Higher prices.

Historically bad airport!!!! They hand search your bag at the gate to prevent you from bringing liquids on the plane. Hello? What was the point of security? This is actually the craziest policy I’ve ever heard. Let me be clear: 1 you go through security. 2 you buy a water bottle, let’s say you buy it from Starbucks. 3 you are NOT allowed to bring the Starbucks water bottle on the plane!!!! Does that make any sense to anyone? Let’s not forget that the brand-new $30 billion airport conveniently doesn’t have a single water fountain. Idek what to think. If I was a flight attendant whose job it was to serve water to passengers, I’d be pissed. Absurd. I still can’t comprehend. I’ve never experienced anything like this. Very frustrating. I had to add a pic so y’all can understand me properly. Bills Mafia style folding tables at the gate so we can hand search every bag. Nuts.

This airport is less than 6 months old and is going through some growing problems. But overall this is a large, clean and well designed facility and the lines moves along fast enough. But they could use few more workers to direct people and stop people from cutting lines.

Wow. Wow. Wow. One of the best airports I had been at. This airport was designed keeping in mind that humans are around using the facility. I was told the airport was opened last June 2025. Everything is new and extremely well designed. Some Area in the airport still under construction but, it does not interfere with its regular operation. Every corner and space is being designed with attention to detail. Two things I have not seen in other airports: the seats inside the airport do not have the dividers between them like many other airports. This means, if you need to get a nap you can do it without any interference (see photo) Just stretch your legs and relax. I noticed that the international gates are private surrounded by glass. Looks very nice. The restrooms are spacious, clean and organized. The duty free area offers a large selection of merchandise very well displayed. Plenty options when it comes with restaurants and coffee shops. We loved everything in this facility.

5-star facility with 3-star service. Transferred here twice recently. 1) No proper transfer channel between domestic and international flights - you have to exit and re-enter the airport. 3) Poor signage and very few staff speak English. 3) Boarding gates announced only one hour before departure, causing large crowds to gather in the central shopping and dining area (seems intentional). Beautiful new terminal, but still a long way to go in terms of passenger experience.

A very modern airport thatvis easy to navigate around. Arrived for a domestic flight and within 30 minutes got my back checked, ticket and through airport security very efficient. Many options for shopping as well as places to eat.

If you're going to come to this airport as your layaway then I would highly suggest that you make sure it's at least 2 hours because the walk is far. This was my airport to catch my connecting flight to LAX and it was an hour layaway. My flight arrives a little early so it helped out a lot. The walk to just go past customs is far and if there a long line then it might take a while. Then the walk to the connecting gate is another distance where you have to walk through their little mall and then another path.

Complete chaos, my clients are oftentimes having to wait an hour on the tarmac to get a bus rather than a gate. Immigration is now doing biometrics (photos and fingerprints) causing even more delay. The new "modern" airport is almost a replica of the old terminal but far slower. Poor signage and overly aggressive security,. All of this creates major issues with going to and coming from the terminal as well.
