Very fancy exotic dishes. Smallish to medium size portions. Service was excellent. Bread selections with toppings was amazing. The complimentary taster was just oddly interesting - rice patty covered with seewead spread, mayo dollops w flowers over a warm stone. The sensitive sphere is a must try - uhhmazing!! Dish presentation perfect.

We had lunch here today. Our second day in Peru. The restaurant has received many accolades and if one of the founders of Peruvian fusion cuisine so we were eager to try it. True the latest Trip Advisor reviews had been mixed and a Toronto friend told me it was in his opinion good but not great. We started with... More

The food quality was good, and the surprise desert was a nice touch and very tasty. However, the menu seemed like it was lacking variety and the portions were small. It felt more like I was paying for the hype and the artistic presentation that the food itself, especially when considering that dishes of similar quality can be found elsewhere... More

We recently ate here during our two day stay in Lima. The service and food were both great but not to the standrd we had been expecting from a resturant in the Top 15 in the world. Highlight of the night was the Coca Pisco. We are glad we dined here however the hype builds unrealistic expectations that are difficult... More

The food wasn't as expected. I don't know how they did to be ranked 14 th restaurant in the world, but I don't think that it was with the food they usualy serve. Octopus wasn't very good, the sea food saltado was ok but the tacu tacu was very bad. The desert was excelent. We had dinner in the bar... More

This place deserves to be number one on the list in our opinion. The service was impecable, the dishes as well -- the octopus is a must try. Fine wines, beautifully structured desserts -- this is the place to be while visiting Lima. It is a must do!

Finally they purposed us to come early at 19:00 and to have dinner in the bar area. Everybody has been wonderful,.from the security people, to the... More

My main course of chicken was really salty and my husbands main course of "suckling pig" was cold ! We sat in the back room where next to our... More
