Service pressé pour vous installer sur un table mal lavée. Poisson sans saveur, & plats peu gouteux d'une façon générale. Portions très petites (deux minuscules morceaux de patates douces). Cocktail (Pisco Sour) mal dosé. La note sur Google semble surévaluée compte tenu du prix.
Venus entre amis, nous avons passé une superbe soirée. La serveur était très avenante & nous a bien expliqué les plats & cocktails. Ces derniers sont vraiment beaux & bons, sans conteste le Pisco Sour & le Jasmine ont été plébiscités. Quant à la nourriture, nous nous sommes RÉ-GA-LÉ !
The passion fruit pisco sour & chicha morada was amazing! I had causa al olivo ,conchitas a la Parmesana & order a lomo saltado to go. Everything delicious! The dessert was out of this world! The staff was very friendly, I will come back & 100% recommend this place!
Trop peu de nourriture dans l'assiette pour le prix. Pas assez de légumes & de frites avec lomo saltado. Pisco beaucoup trop cher . Il faisait très froid dans le resto
I celebrated my birthday Saturday night & my whole group was impressed & grateful to have chosen this restaurant for my celebration. The flavours were perfectly balanced & each bite was an explosion of deliciousness. Good service & pisco sours were delightful. Looking forward to return soon.

La nourriture est encore meilleure que la dernière fois. C'était tout simplement délicieux. Très bonne ambiance. J'ai habité pour quelques semaines à Barranco (banlieue bohème de Lima au Pérou) & l'ambiance du resto y ressemble beaucoup, Les plats aussi (il manquait seulement les brochettes de cœur au menu !). Le service était un peu chaotique & on nous a annoncé en entant que nous n'avions que 2h pour notre repas... J'y serai resté un peu plus longtemps, les Pisco sour étaient si bon.
The causa with Octopus entre dish was not as good as it was a few months back when I came with my wife. The lime used may be was not fresh, the potatoe used to make the mash potatoe was perhaps changed? I really don't know but it was a more heavenly experience last time we came. The pisco sour was also a bit off. It was okay but for the price you pay you expect something better. The last time we were here the pisco sour was made to perfection. The Lomo Saltado was very good. The quality did not vary from the last time we were here. A real paper menu is always good to have around especially for older folks like us. We invited friends to join us but it did not create the impact we would have liked. The service was okay but once again I expect more for what we had to pay.
Food was excellent!
My family visiting from Oregon was super happy & enjoyed everything
My brother in law talked to the chef, they have friends in common 😎🙃
Thanks for the pisco sour shots!
Nous avons mangé 5 ou 6 fois chez Barranco car nous aimons leur cuisine péruvienne savoureuse. Les plats sont joliment présentés & sont pleins de saveurs. La causa est toujours excellente, dans toutes ses variétés. Les tiraditas & plats végétariens sont aussi réussis. & bien sûr il faut commencer par le délicieux pisco sour!
Fruits de mer, poissons & sauces sont excellents mais le menu manque en revanche de légumes. Dommage pour les végétariens!

The drinks were creative, flavourful , & not too sweet. We had variations of a Pisco sour.
The food was delicious. We shared the house ceviche, the chicken tacos & the beef . All were very tasty. Lots of onions at this restaurant but the chef has taken time to create the menu & flavours accordingly so if you don't like a certain ingredient don't chose that item as no changes are made. Portions were great, flavours were fantastic.
Decoration is nice. The menu requires variety as real Peruvian plates, by the way Peruvian people always love Lomo Saltado with white rice & the Pisco Sour must be improved. Thanks.
After an enthusiastic welcome, we were treated to a windowside table for drinks. Explanations of Pisco Sour makeup helped convince us to order some, & they were marvellous, both to look at & to drink. We settled on five tapas dishes to share. All were delicious, including seafood & meat based delicacies. A great find on the Plateau!
