Shopping mall
Larcomar is a chic and upscale outdoor mall situated on the cliffs of Miraflores, offering stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The architecture includes multiple terraces, providing panoramic ocean vistas from various points within the shopping center. It features an array of dining options, pubs, nightclubs, gift shops, boutiques, and a food court. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a cinema complex and a bowling facility.
This was a nice place to come and kill some time. You could do plenty of shopping there I had no need to shop. The views are amazing and there are several restaurants and bars where you can quench shit thirst. I felt very safe in this environment lots of security walking the premises. If you’re there in the evening, you can catch some very beautiful sunsets. I took a walk all the way down to the beach and walked on the pier everybody seem to be enjoying their Monday evening.

It's a shopping mall located right on the beach. The atmosphere is quiet and there's a cool sea breeze blowing all the time. Inside, there are many restaurants and shops. You can see the Pacific Ocean. I went in winter, the sea was rough, and the sky was always gray.
Ran B — Google review
Nice outdoor mall. Very nice place to visit for a bite to eat and to hear the ocean waves crash ashore. Very peaceful and safe. I would highly recommend if visiting Lima to pay this place a visit. The Paddington Bear statue is also nearby which is cute.
DF M — Google review
Shop of Shame!! If you're a shopper snob and looking for high-end brands or even mid-range quality, look elsewhere. This store is a treasure trove of low-end, barely recognizable American brands that you'd probably overlook in the States. It's like they've got a magnet for the most obscure imports. Locals seem to be few and far between, but the shopkeepers are enthusiastic about peddling Alpaca clothes to anyone who'll listen. Buyer beware!

Cala is a restaurant located in Lima, offering diverse cuisine and cocktails in a polished setting with sea views. The restaurant provides an opportunity to enjoy the catch of the day prepared in local style while admiring the Pacific Ocean. It reflects Peruvian marine flavors with a contemporary touch and offers options for those who prefer non-seafood dishes.
I visited Cala for a drink while enjoying their iconic beach sunset, but unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling my best after a long flight. The staff was incredibly kind, and our waiter, whose name I wish I remembered, went above and beyond by asking the chef to prepare a homemade-style soup for me. It was exactly what I needed, warm, comforting, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere at the restaurant was truly amazing, and the sunset was nothing short of breathtaking. I can’t wait to come back and fully experience their menu. 100% recommend!

Celebrated my boyfriends birthday lunch at Cala and it was nothing short of amazing! The food was great, the atmosphere is out of this world, and the service was lovely.

We had such a wonderful experience at Ca La, and a big part of that was thanks to Antonio. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with such warmth and friendliness that instantly made us feel welcome. Throughout the evening, his service was attentive without ever being intrusive, and his genuine kindness made our dinner truly memorable. Antonio went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and his thoughtful recommendations made our meal even more special. It’s rare to meet someone who combines professionalism with such a personal touch—he really made us feel like guests of honor. Thank you, Antonio, for turning a great dinner into an unforgettable experience. We will always remember it!

I came here for lunch on my first day in Peru with my friend who’s been here before. I was simply amazed! The view, the service, the food and the atmosphere! Everything you read on the reviews is true! I couldn’t stop thanking my date for making such a great choice. We sat at small table for two right in front of the beach were people were surfing. It was hard to chose between staring at the sea or into my date’s eyes! You must try the ceviche appetizer sample to share. It was so delicious from traditional ceviche to modern versions. I then had the filet de sole and my friend the sesame seed tuna. Both dishes were fantastic. The place was full but the service was still very personalized. They had live music which was a nice touch. The hardest part was leaving. I would have gladly stayed for the next meal and for the sunset. Next time for sure!

Very nice restaurant, on the pricier side but well worth it. Made a reservation through their website beforehand and were seated on the spectacular terrace facing the sea. Our waiter Leonel was incredibly kind and attentive, knew about our dietary restrictions mentioned in the reservation before we even brought it up. The service was fast and professional. Absolutely delicious food from entree to dessert with high-quality ingredients. They only have one vegetarian option (agnolotti funghi in saffron butter) available as it's mainly a sea food restaurant. Wasn't a problem for us because we knew beforehand, but another option to broaden the menu would be great. We'll definitely be back!

Museums
Located in the Barranco neighborhood of Lima, the Lima Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) offers a modern space showcasing art from the 1950s to present. The museum features rotating exhibitions, ensuring visitors always have something new to see. In addition to its permanent collection, MAC also hosts temporary exhibitions featuring Latin American and European artists.
Great museum collection! The space includes both permanent and temporary displays. Really enjoyed walking through the galleries and admiring the contemporary art. Worth visiting when in the area.
Alan Y — Google review
It looks a well intentioned museum to highlight works of Peruvian artists. The building has large, very spacious exhibition rooms well lit from the natural light. HOWEVER, collection/exhibition is very limited and has so narrow breath. 🫤 There’s complete lack of sculptures and/or 3D pieces. * There MUST be a number of contemporary sculptors in Lima or nationwide, whose art are worth chasing after for exhibition here. 🫤 A lot of photographic exhibits are more of random shots of political events, lacking an artistic rendition of such events. * The photos are VERY FLAT IMAGES rather than expressive imagery that would convey why the photographer was attracted by that instant in time. * Many of the shots seem very elementary/rudimentary, lacking depths of focus. *The photos FAIL TO EVOKE EMOTION, as such they seem misplaced for this museum. 🫤 Similarly, exhibitions of framed newspaper articles from the recent past are mere collages, like a hobbyist’s scrapbook. They FAIL TO CONVEY AN AESTHETIC rationale why they were put together. 😎 There’s a few of the paintings, especially the abstracts, that are worth the time for visual and intellectual feast.

While the ongoing exhibit on Inca photographs by a local artist was good, the permanent collection was just housed in a big hall. Very little explanations. Overall a rather disappointing lay out and art works that were neither inspiring or interesting.

Very nice and modern museum in Barranco. The place is quiet, surrounded by trees, and perfect to relax and enjoy art. The exhibitions are interesting, with local and international artists. The building is beautiful, and there’s a nice café outside (Beso Francés) to have a coffee and crepe after your visit.

The museum was small but there was a lot of intention behind the set up. For 20 soles, it was worth it. I loved learning about modern art in Peru. It's very photograph heavy, but there were also very unique pieces that spoke to Peru and its history. When we went, Javier Silva Meingel's work was being showcased, and I thought his journey of photography was wonderful.

If you love food, Tanta is definitely worth a visit. With a wide selection of dishes to choose from, the restaurant is perfect for all tastes. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the view of the ocean is awesome. Prices are very reasonable too!
Delicious cuisine with amazing views. This restaurant was recommended by both locals and other travelers. It did not disappoint in the least. They only serve breakfast and switch to lunch / dinner at noon, so we waited with drinks for a little while. Delicious juices and cocktails. The chicken stir fry noodles saltado were delicious and huge. The view is right over the cliff to beach and surfers below. Wonderful service.

Turned up without having booked a table, seated quickly. Was asked to love to accommodate a large booking which we were more than happy to. They did offer two free deserts which was most pleasing. Large menu with many options. The service was fast and pleasant and the food was delicious. My second favourite meal in Peru!
Sion O — Google review
Excellent - and huge portions. This was a great choice. Peruvian-Asian fusion cuisine (well, more either Asian or Peruvian dishes rather than fusion), but really good nevertheless. Super friendly and attentive service. Would definitely come back, food was super tasty and portions VERY generous. Loved it. TANTA, well done.
Ronny W — Google review
The last two days, I have had two breakfast visits and one dinner at Tanta. I loved the breakfast, with really the best breakfast in a long time. Accompanied with Maracuya (Passion fruit) juice - of course. Tonight we had dinner there and the best was the Lomo saltado. We also had a really good chicha morada with the dinner. We were so full from the dinner (huge portions), so we will come back tomorrow and try some of the temting cakes. Or maybe an ice cream. I highly recommend eating at Tanta. The cutlery was good and the knives were sharp. The waiters were well trained and polite and efficient. Really good and efficient service. Last, but not least: Tanta is a very clean place, and l appreciate that very much.

Larcomar Top Level Restaurant with gorgeous views. Plenty of dishes and desserts to choose from with a full bar. I had the Combinado, a large plate of rice, chicken, potato, corn and fried banana - very tasty! Add a glass of sangria and it was a wonderful meal. There are lots of sweet treats to choose from for dessert, but I was too stuffed to try them… next time!

Don't be fooled that Tanta is in a tourist area, Chef Gastòn Acurio truly knows what he's doing! The food is carefully and artfully prepared, with special attention to detail. My wife had the Risotto with shrimp (langostina) which was creamy and perfectly seasoned. My Pink Trout was perfectly cooked, and was served on a bed of corn puree. I would have loved 10 more slices of the tomato it was that good, and the rice and sweet potato perfectly complimented the dish and gave you something to scoop up all that wonderful flavor with!! ¡Bellissimo! Gracias por un plato perfecto.

Hotel B is a charming boutique hotel located in the upscale Barranco district of Lima. Housed in a historic Belle Époque mansion, this elegant accommodation offers romantic interiors adorned with funky Peruvian art. The hotel features a formal restaurant, bar, and lounge, as well as a rooftop sundeck with a plunge pool that provides stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Guests can choose from spacious Atelier rooms with high ceilings, marble bathrooms, and private balconies overlooking the surrounding area.
There's nothing negative to be said about this place. It is on the pricier side however so you get what you pay for. We sat down for a few drinks and pizza at the bar. The service was excellent, barmen were very attentive and the pizza was very tasty. I highly highly recommend ordering cocktails from their peruvian list. Keep up the excellent work!

First off Barranco is the perfect spot in Lima if you like a neighborhood feel with lots of walkability, and tons of Cafes, Bars, and Restaurants. Plus Hotel B is in the perfect location. Just off to the side so as not to be in the Buzz but close enough to want to walk everywhere. Staff are lovely. Restaurant and Bar just perfect. 5/5 👍👍

Hotel B is a standout property in Lima, offering a blend of art, history, and understated luxury in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Tucked into the heart of Barranco, Lima’s bohemian district, the hotel is just a short and pleasant walk from the central plaza, the Bridge of Sighs, and a wide array of galleries, cafés, and coastal viewpoints. Its location alone makes it an excellent base for exploring the city’s cultural and culinary offerings. Housed in a restored Belle Époque mansion with a colonial past, the hotel is a Relais & Châteaux property—and that pedigree shows. The layout is elegant and intimate, with high ceilings, dramatic woodwork, and thoughtfully preserved architectural details. A contemporary wing connects seamlessly to the original structure, creating a flowing interior that doubles as an art gallery. The rotating collection of artwork throughout the property gives every hallway and common space a curated, gallery-like atmosphere. Breakfast is a highlight, served in the refined dining room or on the lovely patio, with a selection of fresh juices, pastries, and made-to-order options. One note for guests: the hotel offers an afternoon tea service with a buffet of small bites and desserts, but it does come with an extra charge—something to be aware of when planning your stay. Though Hotel B doesn’t offer extensive amenities like a gym or spa, it more than compensates with its design, atmosphere, and personalized service. Staying here feels like being a guest in a beautifully restored private home—elegant, artful, and truly unique.

La Cuadra de Salvador is a steakhouse situated in the historic Casona Montero Bernales in Barranco. It stands out for its use of top-quality American meats, specifically USA PRIME. The restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience within the warm ambiance of the Barranquina mansion and a spacious terrace with innovative design. While it's known for its excellent steaks, even vegetarians can find satisfying options like mushroom risotto.
Food is really great especially if you like special cuts. Also the cocktails were fantastic! Service was good but not top notch for those prices - maybe because we do not really speak spanish... The atmosphere with really good live music was perfect 💃🏽

Honestly, it's fine, but I think it's overpriced for what you get. I don't really enjoy the doves flying here and there, I even think I saw some on the tables. I also feel the meat was not exactly hot. The bread was alright, but not fantastic. I think El Hornero has better bread, and meat.

Fine dining restaurant
Maido is an upscale and modern restaurant that offers a unique blend of local cuisine with a Japanese influence. It has been recognized as one of the top restaurants globally, known for its Nikkei dishes which combine Peruvian and Japanese flavors. Chef Mitsuharu "Micha" Tsumura's innovative creations have earned Maido top honors on San Pellegrino's Best Latin American Restaurants list for three consecutive years.
There are truly no words to fully capture this experience. It exceeded every expectation. The service was impeccable, and the presentation was extraordinary. Each course had its own unique display. The food was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance was so nice. One of my favorite details was that for each course, the waiter brought a small basket with sample vegetables and fruits used in the dish, allowing us to see, touch, and understand exactly what we were eating. Since reservations are difficult to secure, we were only able to book seats at the bar, and I am so glad we did. Sitting there made the experience even more special. The chefs shared stories about the restaurant, about Micha, and about their own lives, making the evening feel intimate and personal. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience, and I completely understand why they are ranked the #1 restaurant in the world. I hope to return one day, and when I do, I will absolutely choose to sit at the bar again.

After being on the waiting list for a while, we decided to try our luck as a walk in customer. We were so fortunate that there was a slot and we were able to have an early dinner. As the 2025 number one restaurant in the world, we had high expectations. The staff were professional, friendly and explained clearly how we should eat each dish to get the best culinary experience. Each dish gave an amazing taste that is hard to describe and it is no wonder that this is the top restaurant in the world. All dishes were amazing, but my favourite was the scallop with urchin.

We visited the restaurant for the Maido Experience after it got given the #1 Restaurant in the World Award and were not disappointed at all. It was a truly unique experience from the moment we walked in until we left, from the staff greeting until the last goodbye. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated, with exquisite table setting and plates. The dining experience was phenomenal, with 14 different wonderful bites to try, each one with an amazing taste, texture, presentation, combination of flavours and of course a wonderful introduction by our waiter. It took us about 2 hours to go through each dish, with the perfect timing in between dishes for you to eat, savour, take in, enjoy and discuss with your friends. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and can’t wait to come back, next time maybe to focus on a dish or two. We consider ourselves very fortunate for having the opportunity to experience something like this. Thank you Misha for making it possible. ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “If I came here knowing nothing, I would say I had very delicious food and would love to come every month, but I wouldn’t call this the best in the world. The food is good, but the storytelling is missing and the service mostly just lists the ingredients. The atmosphere is pleasant, the Nikkei–Peruvian fusion is impressive, but overall the experience felt more like casual dining.”

I’ve had really high expectations for Maido, as it was supposed to be one of the peaks of my trip to Peru. However, I left rather dissapointed. There was nothing wrong about the food, it was OK, but nothing special. Had better food many times. Don’t believe it was worth the price or the hype.

Such a fun and tasty dinner! The experience was great.. each course was delicious, a little adventurous, and my favorite part was the use of texture in every dish!!

How is this number one in the world? Did these people lose their taste buds in 2025? The meal started out okay but nothing spectacular. Could easily name 100 restaurants that were better than Maido that I’ve eaten at all over the world. They tried to copy Central in bringing in the raw ingredients to the table, but it’s a totally different vibe. The sushi rice was so poorly cooked, even just touching it with the chopstick I could tell it wasn’t right. It was hard and starchy… how can you mess up something so essential in Japanese cuisine? The glass noodles were all stuck together and gummy. And the dessert was just atrocious… chorizo flavored ice cream with a soup of lemongrass flavored soy milk. I’m sorry but it made me want to throw up. Such a disappointment all around.

Great decorations. Food presentation is amazing. However, for me, the taste is a bit overpowering, especially the citrus taste. For someone who loves Japanese food, the taste did not amaze me, but the presentation is great.

This was one of the biggest malls I’ve ever been to, it has literally everything you need. We did not have enough time to walk through the whole mall, however I recommend visiting if you are looking to shop.

I want to go back! It’s a huge indoor mall. Firstly time there and I love it. There’s Zara, Carolina Herrera, Boss, LV, Channel, Billabong, Desigual, H&M and many more. It’s clean and looks very tech oriented.

So much to see and do for kids and adults alike. Normally pretty busy. Shopping is a bit expensive, but we usually go for the food. Their food court is massive, and there are tons of really good restaurants down the side #plazuela walkway. I could easily spend a whole afternoon here.

Really big shopping malls with everything you need. I spent the whole day there and had a real good workout. Because of covid there are restrictions to the number of customers in the shops to there may be a queue. Bug brands like H&M, Zara, Coach, LV (coming), Guess, MNG, Samsonite, Calvin Klien etc

The Miraflores Indian Market, also known as Mercado Indio, is a bustling outdoor destination located on Avenue Petit Thouars in the center of Miraflores. Spanning four blocks, this market offers a wide array of Peruvian crafts and souvenirs, including textiles, ceramics, alpaca scarves and sweaters, engraved pumpkins, woven bags and wallets, and silver jewelry.
Tourist attraction, plenty of local items to buy. Polite people offer a variety of products in low prices willing to bargain in order to sell. In some cases offer some small items for free additional to what you have purchased

Lots of options... Many of the same things are sold at various stores within the market. Most things are reasonably priced . Some of them very wildly depending on the vendor. There are a lot of colors and beautiful garments . There are a lot of mementos and souvenirs that one can find. Do your due diligence asking for the price from several vendors to get a feel for how much something should cost, especially if you're traveling and don't know what to expect. Great market.

Great selection of good from artists and vendors from all across the country. Super accessible from anywhere in miraflores, and a great place to buy souvenirs for yourself or your friends. Most places accept credit card, and everyone is open to negotiation before yiu walk away.

Really Loved the Indian Market, do many options. No food here except a stall selling drinks and the local delicacy of Pisco Sour, which is delicious, refreshing and a lovely cocktail containing Pisco, egg white, sugar syrup and fresh juice. A massive array of excellent quality of llama and alpaca garments, the Baby Alpaca products are the premium choice. Toys, trinkets, clothes, hats, jewellery, shoes, artwork, brass and silver ware, fabulous leather goods, bags, jackets, shoes. All under one roof a beautiful place to spend many hours amongst overwhelming variety of everything under the sun.

Avoid at all costs. This is a tourist trap. They tried to sell stuffs at 2-3x normal price by selling the story that the items were custom handmade. Everything they sell is available in other stores too, especially in Cusco. Don't buy stuffs here. The government should just close this establishment for consumer and tourist protection.

Museum
Huaca Pucllana Site Museum is an ancient pre-Inca archaeological site situated in Miraflores, offering a captivating journey into Lima's pre-Columbian history. The clay and adobe pyramid complex provides valuable insights into the indigenous cultures that once thrived in the region. Guided tours are available to enhance the understanding of the site's historical significance, making it an educational destination for history enthusiasts, archaeology buffs, and families with older children.
2000+ years of history packed into the center of Miraflores. A must see when visiting Lima to acquire some of the history and respect for previous civilization. The adobe architecture is incredible as millions of bricks were assembled into the pyramid that took hundreds of years to assemble. Get to see some of the agriculture and animals of Peru - guinea pigs and alpacas. The museum offers some insight, but the real value is the guided tours that leave every 30 minutes and are offered in both English and Spanish. Cost of entry is S/ 15, about $4 (includes the tour)
Kristian P — Google review
The tour was excellent! It lasted about 40 minutes, and the guides were very knowledgeable. The ruins are in the middle of Miraflores, right next to a great restaurant with a beautiful view of the site. Just note that the night tour doesn’t allow you to go to the top of the ruins — that’s only possible during the day.
Magali B — Google review
An incredible archaeological site in the heart of Miraflores! 🏛️ The 2,000-year-old adobe pyramid showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of ancient builders. The 40-minute guided tour (S/15, available in English or Spanish) is informative and engaging. Note: the night tour doesn’t include access to the top, but we took it and still loved the experience. A must-visit for history lovers in Lima!
Manjeet D — Google review
Fascinating study of the dedication of the ancients in building structures covering great areas with handmade vertical bricks. On some you can even see their hand and finger prints! Our guide shared a wide scope of knowledge from all of those who lived here, their customs, foods they planted and consumed, burial rites, beliefs, skills... He was a great guide to his heritage and this enormous site in the middle of the city. (Unfortunately, there is a listing for a "minizoo" here. While seeing the 7 famous llamas, alpacas and dozens+ guinea pigs was an interesting part of the tour...that does Not qualify the Very minimum pen and feeding bin as a "zoo." There is a genuine one elsewhere. The handful of indigenousanimals here are just to enlighten visitors as to the animals the original denizens had for food, like the well-planted garden.) This is a healthy, enlightening educational walk through an amazing ancient world. (PS- Please bring some currency to show your appreciation to your fascinating guide!!)

Worth a visit but just bare in mind you must go round with a tour guide and once you've seen one part of the temple you've sort of seen it all. There were some interesting facts and it made for a good walk. There are some cute llamas or alpacas and guinea pigs 😊
Alex C — Google review
I want to say I loved it, listen - it's historical and the guide was good. Spoke very good English and the Llamas / Guinea pigs at the end are cute. It's interesting, and they're still excavating. The tour takes little under an hour.. tips for the guide are nice! They do a good job. You walk up some steepish parts, and it's sandy - so don't wear slides. ;) Worth a visit... And the restaurant overlooking the ruins is fab! But gets busy. There are other restaurants just outside too. (Not overlooking the ruins) If you're in Lima and like history.. go. I was just a little bit bored at times. 🙊

Huaca Pucllana: 4000-year-old pyramid, check. Boring guide who puts you to sleep, check. If you're gonna make me walk on ancient genius pyramid, at least make the tour entertaining. Suggestion: skip the guide and hit up the Larco Museum first. Learn more over there Trust me, you'll be way more impressed when you finally get to the real education. And honestly, just read the Wikipedia page, you'll learn more. Need tour guide and takes about one hour.

Went Sunday afternoon. A bit of a wait ' half an hour as I had not made a reservation. Entry was 15 soles. Than waited another 20 minutes for English guide and to get numbers for tour.

Municipal de Barranco Park, located in the upscale Barranco district of Lima, Peru, is a charming tree-lined park that offers a variety of attractions. The park features elegant statuary, paved paths for leisurely strolls, and a colonnaded stage where weekend events take place.
The heart of the Barranco neighborhood, this square is located a few steps from famous tourist attractions (like the Bridge of Sighs), but also offers a lot for residents, like a public library, a church and a nearby museum. It is well maintained, clean and it even has a public bathroom (that costs 1 Sole - 25 USD Cents) to use. It is a great starting point to explore the neighborhood and have a coffee or a drink or even a full meal in one of the many establishments surrounding the square.

I’ve been here twice and both times the experience was similar - palatable food, mediocre to poor service, all in a beautiful setting. The second time I came was to bring my daughter because the atmosphere is amazing. Next time, we will go on the tour (which is well worth it) and simply slip into the restaurant for a picture. The food is generally not that good, edible, but not terrible… and very expensive for the quality. The service was inattentive both times. The last time, we asked for the space heater to be turned on. The server turned it on and it went off (maybe out of gas). I asked again for him to turn it on, it didn’t go on and he just quit working on it, nor did he bring another one over to replace the one that wouldn’t turn on. Both times I remember looking around for at least 5 minutes for someone, anyone to bring me a check. It also took several minutes to find someone to bring me a spoon for my stew. It’s amazing how hard it is to find a server given how many there are around and we sat at 5:30 PM so the restaurant was less than 1/4 full. But the setting is picturesque, especially with Huaca Pucllana lit up at night. Without tip or any alcohol, the pictured meal cost over PEN 300!

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.

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!

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.
Desiree M — Google review
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.

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!

The Bad 1. They cannot accommodate allergies. They said they could, they cannot. 2. If you have any substitutions made they will not season your food. 3. It’s expensive and not value for money. 4. Their wifi does not work. Couldn’t load a web page or call an uber home 5. With substitutions the food was bad imagining without them it would probably be okay The Good 1. Corvina tartare was great 2. Service was good and attentive 3. The drinks were good, we had the mule and Paloma

Stumbled upon this place while walking around Barranco on Sunday around 1pm and were so happy to find out that they served brunch with somewhat American options to choose from as all other places around were already serving lunch/dinner menu ( no breakfast food). The egg & bacon tostadas were great. Their Bloody Mary is super good too, better than at some high end places in the US. They make their mix from scratch adding tomatoes ( so said the bartender ).

Raw Café, located in Miraflores, is a small plant-based eatery with an attached organic store. The menu features a variety of creative and fulfilling meals made with earth-grown ingredients. From wraps made with dehydrated mangoes and flax seeds to pizzas with cashew cheese and caramelized onions, there are options for breakfast, lunch, tea time, and early dinner.
This is a pet friendly vegetarian place. The ambience was quiet, the tables spaced out with enough comfort and seats, well decorated, very clean. We went a bit late, around 7:30pm and they were supposed to close at 9pm. The waiter was very kind in giving us a kind reminder at 830pm to make our last food orders, and waited us to finish 15 more minutes over his shift. The food was great, very filling, well-served, it smell great, good prices for its nutrition balance. Would recommend and come back again too

For vegan food this place is really nice. We ordered the falafel wrap which was good and the scrambled tofu which the taste was incredibly close to an egg. The size of the dish was really satisfying and generous. We also ordered the Carmelo frappe which was too sweet for my liking but highly recommended to whoever like super sweet coffee. The pricing is very fair as well.

Nice staff. Clean and modern cafe with wifi. Very extensive menu for vegans. I got the caramel frappe but it was way too sweet for my personal taste, with a couple flavours I wasn't used to. The Choco Bowl was more oat based than I expected ( was imagining it to be more smoothie based), and again too sweet. But I'm still rating quite highly cause the menu was super extensive and very exciting for any vegans in Lima.

There’s an artesanal market in the road outside and I found some of the best bread I’ve had in Peru, from a stall called Halma Panadería - they do stuffed bread with cheese, olives, caramalised onions or lots of other meat options too. They also do empanadas & can heat anything up for you to eat straight away.

The Bridge of Sighs, also known as Puente de los Suspiros, is an iconic wooden bridge in Barranco. It offers stunning views of the city and is a popular spot for people-watching. According to local folklore, crossing the bridge while holding your breath and making a wish may make it come true. Built in 1876, the bridge has endured significant damage during historical events but has been rebuilt multiple times.
This is a beautiful tourist attraction in Barranco, Lima, Peru. Don't believe the legend that if you hold the hand of the one you love and cross the bridge while holding your breath, if you make it to the other side you will be together forever... total and utter lie 🤣🤣 Other than that there is a beautiful spot, art, food, and more to see and or eat. It also leads down to the beach.

According to legend, if you hold your breath while walking across the bridge, your wish will be granted; and if you cross it with your lover, you are said to be blessed with eternal love. The surrounding area is delightful, with a cute park, vibrant murals, and intriguing street art that make it a perfect spot to wander and explore. Lovely area to walk around and explore or take your pup out to enjoy.

This bridge itself is pretty standard - about 40 feet long with no major views to speak of. But that's not what makes it special. The real treasure is the shops surrounding it, filled with unique art designs, cool jackets, t-shirts, and bags. It's evolved beyond just a marketplace - it's now a hub for creative expression. While the restaurants nearby are okay, they're not the main draw. The real highlight is the eclectic mix of art and shopping that makes this area worth exploring.

Isolina is a humble eatery that pays homage to hardworking Peruvian women, particularly the owner's mother, Isolina Vargas. The restaurant serves traditional homemade dishes that were once closely guarded secrets of Lima's mothers.
This is a simple restaurant on a corner in Barranco, Lima. The food is amazing with incredible flavors. People told me this is one of the best restaurants in the world. I think that is too much, but it is definitely a very good choice. The food has excellent taste and very good seasoning. All dishes have explosion of flavors. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Good option when visiting Lima. The flavors are really special and well prepared.

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.

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!

Mediocre experience at best. The place is lovely and the service was okay but the 26 soles hummus was very salty, the bread wasnt cooked in the middle, and the squash raviolis were nice but it was a small portion for the price. The best part by far was the orange iced tea. Idk what they put in there but it's amazing.

This is a pleasant spot to enjoy a bite to eat and a coffee if you need a break from exploring the Barrano neighborhood. The pastries all looked good, but I went with an almond croissant. It was flaky and satisfying. It had clearly been baked very recently. The coffee was fine, but nothing special. The service was friendly, and the space was a nice spot for reading and relaxing. It is not easy to spot Pan Sal Aire from the street, but it is worth taking a look.

Opened before noon but completely set up after 3 pm, this shop offers a refreshing change from the typical Inca market vibe. Instead of souvenirs, they stock everyday essentials like snacks, tees, comfy clothes, and PJs made from cozy Peruvian cotton. I ended up finding more great deals here than at the Inca market

Great restaurant. Came here for a friend's birthday after a recommendation. Apart from the broad choice of delicious food, which led to my eating far too much in a desire to have a little of everything this was perfect. Just not for dieters! At least not for dieters with willpower like mine. I could have stayed from midday to midnight quite happily grazing at many of the delicious plates. Of special note the various tapas were perfect, especially the chorizo, and the trout. The beef and fish main courses were spectacular and the double choco mousse was just too good. Think I left about 2 kilos heavier! Fantastic service, delicious food, lovely ambience. What more could you ask for?

Arlotia is located in the heart of Barranco. Its a small and cozy place. They have good tapas and drinks. Its pet friendly. They have good music and the place looks clean. They also sell menus for lunch for 20 soles, which I found delicious and price worth it. You can buy also bottles of wine. My husband bought me a bottle of wine from there and was good. They are open from 12:30 to 23:00. I need to go back and try their paella and desserts. If you miss mediterranean food, here is your place.

The restaurant is known for its great pasta dishes and sumptuous cheesecake. Diners recommend making reservations to enjoy the top-quality and fresh seafood dishes like 'al curry atigrado' with cocona and spinach 'a la brasa.'
Come treat yourself. I hate ranking but this immediately became my favorite place to eat in Barranco. Unique flavor combos I’ve never had anywhere else. Authentic Peruvian ingredients cooked perfectly. The fish cheeks. Out of this world. Fatty. Flavorful. Explosive. Recommend having it with the rice on the side. The catch of the day, Thai fish curry. Wow. Peru and Thailand at its finest. The must have drink is the Darjeeling Exp. Whiskey with curry and more. I was shocked and impressed. My waiter Gusto was awesome too!

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 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).

Understanding this, I may say that Chef Rafael and his restaurant have accomplished something rare, exquisite and different that you usually do not see in fine dining in Peru. The food, his team, carefulness and little details are top notch. I highly recommend this place for connoisseurs, it’s expensive but it’s great.

The food, referring to the taste was good in general, no complaints on that part, but the wait between the plates was too long. In top of that you must now that you will have to order multiple courses to be satisfied, because the portions are quite small so go with time. About the prices, in my opinion, they have great plates which deserve the high cost, but there’s others that are quite average, not worth it.

Come to Rafael for an art-filled, elevated atmosphere, attentive service, and deftly executed seafood-forward Peruvian-Italian fusion. I came here for my birthday lunch and it was my personal favorite over some other fine dining spots I tried around the city (did not make it to Maido up the street, but that’s in another price category!) Don’t skip the bread basket. It’s an assortment of delicious warm goodness. Ours came with whipped goat cheese, butter, and tomato jam. The scallop appetizer (scallops in lemon butter) is an absolute must-order and nothing short of sublime. We ordered two pasta mains, and while the duck ragu lacked depth of flavor and the portion was a bit small, the stracciatella-filled pasta with prawns, peas, and a light cream sauce was a winner. The dessert menu was also an absolute highlight and you absolutely must save room for dessert. It was my birthday so they gave me one dessert on the house and we also ordered one of the most mind-blowing desserts I’ve ever had: cherimoya royale which consisted of - from bottom to top: custard apple mousse, praline, a flambéed custard apple slice, custard apple sorbet, enrobed in custard apple foam. The combination of great execution, the balance of complexity and simplicity, and the outstanding service and atmosphere makes this a worthwhile stop on any Lima itinerary!

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.

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.)

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.

Canta Rana has become one of the top dining spots in Barranco, Lima.

What a wonderful experience, to start our culinary journey through Peru 🇵🇪 from this excellent spot! Had the ceviche imperial de lenguado (fine flounder), grilled lenguado and caldo de blue mussels. Also tried their famous pisco sour (packs a punch, but I sipped it slowly through the meal. I'm seriously considering going back tomorrow for more ceviche!

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.
Olga M — Google review
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.
Paul L — Google review
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.
I-Hsuan L — Google review
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.

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.

The ambiance is comfortable, perfect for relaxing or working. This is definitely a place worth visiting.

A very quaint and elegant little spot! Definitely enjoyed the pasta with pesto and milanesa, and their lemonade was super tasty. I thought the server was really nice! However I did feel like it took a bit too long to get our check so we had to walk out to pay up front but otherwise, lovely little spot.

Brilliant place for all day breakfast / brunch. The eggs Benedict was fantastic with perfect poached eggs, and the chicken and avocado ciabatta sandwich was great. I also got scrambled eggs as an extra and they were some of the best I’ve ever had! Restaurant nice inside and service very attentive

First time at this place. Very relaxing mid day. A bit of sunshine in the enclosed garden. Well spaced tables perfect for chatting. As you can see from my pictures, I got the healthy carrot cake and a cappuccino. In my opinion the dessert was too covered in sugar syrups. In the display it was just a nice piece of cake perfect for a coffee. At the table it was covered in three layers of caramel and icing making it hard to taste the cake. I scooped some off to try eating it but it was just too sweet. The other issue is not specific to this restaurant but in general the coffee cups are small and not really large enough to have with a regular sized dessert. The coffee was not as hot especially for a place that is partly outdoors. The food choices looked good on other tables. The service was excellent.
Andrew R — Google review
Basically an expensive breakfast/brunch spot. I would not return. The staff were extremely friendly, but the place is very expensive compared to the rest of Lima. I get it is in an upmarket neighborhood, but it is still pricey. The cold brew coffees were $3.25 and not filled up. My girl said her sandwich was excellent. Bathrooms were clean.

Seafood restaurant
El Muelle Cevichería is a popular spot in Lima known for its relaxed atmosphere and spacious outdoor seating. Located in the trendy Barranco neighborhood, it's a favorite among locals for its generous portions of fresh and delicious seafood at reasonable prices. The extensive menu offers a variety of ceviche options, grilled dishes, and chilled seafood selections. Visitors rave about the flavorful ceviche, grilled pulpo, and Seafood Marisco that resembles Spanish Paella with abundant seafood.
A simple local restaurant (we were the only tourists in the evening) that serves great food. We tried the seafood rice and a mushroom ceviche, both were good. Can imagine how good their fish ceviche would be, given how nice their base was, but we opted for mushrooms to try something different. Good service too.
Charmaine M — Google review
I decided to try the Parmesan scallops today. Very tasty. Served as shown paired with a wheat beer from Cusco. Slightly salty for some but typical for seafood here in Lima. The beer was very cold and crisp. The restaurant has some sense of a Fonda that has expanded. Others here had some beautiful large platters suitable for a group of friends to try.

Amazing ceviche. The cocha negra , urchin ceviche was spectacular, as was the traditional fish ceviche. I'm a seafood freak, urchin is not to a lot of people's liking so keep that in mind.

The experience was average. Ceviche was good but not amazing. Prices are average as well. Leche de tigre was the best plate on the table. Tuna Causa was terrible. Tuna was from the can so it didn’t tasta good at all. Leche de tigre was 20 soles and other combinado plates were 46 soles. Could suggest if you are around and want ceviche but would it worth coming all the way just to eat here? Nope 👎🏻

Fine dining restaurant
Restaurant
Located in the hipster neighborhood of Barranco in Lima, Mérito stands out as one of the best restaurants in the Peruvian capital. The chef, Juan Luis Martinez, skillfully blends his Venezuelan roots with Peruvian culinary traditions and other Latin American influences. The restaurant's menu reflects a diverse exploration of flavors using local ingredients and a strong aesthetic sense. Ranked No.
Merito was the clear stand out meal for us in Peru and it’s one of the most memorable meals I’ve ever had. Head chef Juan Luis Martinez is simply a genius with flavor and all his/ her dishes were incredibly creative, thoughtful and works of art! While everything we had was delicious the standout dishes for us were the apps and desserts, in particular, the - Yacon with whitefish - a delight for all the senses - Fish tartar - I had no idea a tartar could taste this good!! - Scallop ceviche - flavors were bright and refreshing - Flan - best flan I’ve had in my life (so good we had it again at Merito’s sister restaurant, Clon, a few days later) - Chocolate rock - decadent and delicious, one for the chocolate lovers! Would absolutely return if I’m ever in Lima again! And this meal inspired us to try both clon and demo cafe under the same restaurant family (both excellent as well). Easiest five stars ever and my favourite fine dining restaurant I’ve had to, to date.
Erica N — Google review
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!

Peruvian restaurant
La Picantería is a renowned restaurant in Lima that offers cuisine from Arequipa, Peru's charming third city located in the southern Andean foothills. In Arequipa, picanterias are a way of life and typically open only for lunch, serving a variety of dishes including seafood and meaty options like chicharron (fried pork).
La Picantería is a gem in Lima. The vibe is super relaxed, with bright-colored walls, rustic decor, and a really authentic, welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for going with friends or for a more chill lunch. The food was amazing: we had a super fresh salad with avocado, tomato, and lettuce, and a fish dish with golden potatoes in an incredible sauce full of crispy garlic and chili. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. They also have a great little bar area with a nice wine selection and cocktails — it adds a cool, lively touch to the experience without being overwhelming. The glass of white wine we had was the perfect match for the food. Definitely a place I’ll come back to and keep exploring. Highly recommend!

Nothing extraordinary! Waiting time 40min. I think they prioritise locals over tourists although no reservations are possible. No English menu but some staff speaks English and helped us with the order. The concept is to choose the fish/seafood and the cooking method. The kitchen is downstairs which is not very efficient for a restaurant especially when they don’t have a lift for the food. Staffs need to go down and up all the time. Extremely loud music. The dishes arrived quickly and seemed to be fresh. Not bad seafood but I think some are overpriced compared to the same food we can find in Europe (especially lobster ~€65/kg) Too small plates to eat the dishes, zero service to replace or give tissues.

A must!! Open only for lunch and offers fresh seafood… the ambiance, the service and the food can be an industry standard. We loved every dish we had and every other dish we saw on others table looked amazing!! The portions are big so sharing is totally fine. Drinks are delicious as well. La Picanteria is already in Top50 restaurants’ discovery list and one of the best restaurants in Lima!!

Small place, super fresh sea food and amazing flavours….the preparation was very good and the service was top class. Reached at 12pm sharp and there were people waiting to get a table. Had a 1kg lobster that was good for 4 and 4+ 4 razor clams grilled with 2 different sauces. The Bloody Mary with Pisco was perfectly Did not try any of the beers though.
