Nous avons eu une belle soirée sur la terrasse. Le service était très bon. Nous avons pris 4 entrées (piqueos) & 1 plat (lomo saltado qui vient avec un plat de riz) pour quatre personnes. Les portions étaient bonnes, les plats bien présentés & le tout était très bon! Merci beaucoup, à une prochaine fois 👌😊
Food & cocktails are ok but nothing special. Some of the dishes were too salty as well. We did not get a chance to try the desserts because of the 2 hour time limit. Music is too loud to have a proper conversation.

Mon copain & moi on a adoré la nourriture! Éloise était notre serveuse & c'est vraiment parfait! On fait beaucoup de restaurants & c'est un des meilleurs services qu'on a eu à date.
Nous avons été pour le diner. Nous étions sur la terrasse. Nous avons suivi les recommandations de la serveuse. Le ceviche Barranco & les tacos au porc étaient succulents. Nous avons un peu moins aimé le causa de Cameron. Nous recommandons cet endroit sans hésiter. Un peu dispendieux pour le dîner mais nourriture & service excellents

Après avoir eu une expérience culinaire remarquable au restaurant Nikkei, je m'attendais à être aussi impressionné en visitant le Barranco, sachant que le restaurant appartient au même groupe. Ce fut malheureusement décevant. Les plats étaient bien présentés, mais peu goûteux & froids pour certains. Le service était lent, mais sympathique. Je dois cependant souligner que les cocktails étaient originaux & délicieux
First time trying Peruvian cuisine, we loved the experience overall. Ceviche was definitely a must try, a classic Peruvian food. It was nice, good but not excellent, therefore I would say 4/5 for food, yet I & my sister enjoyed the meal, services & vibe, therefore we would give 5 stars in general.

Service très décevant, mais Eloise qui nous a accueilli & expilquer tout le menu a donner un service incroyable, une très belle présentation du menu, un sourire contagieux, dommage que la demoiselle qui nous a servi semblais aussi désintéresser, mais pour la nourriture 100%. La nourriture est excellente.
😢 Expensive for a Terrible Service 😢 My mum is visiting me from Mexico for a week, so we are trying to plan our dinners very carefully. On July 22nd, 2024 we were served by a waitress named Daria (I hope I remember the name correctly. She was a 20s-30s young lady, with a bit red hair, & she didn't speak Spanish). The atmosphere was great - the management did a great job! Although the portions appeared small for the price, & mine was a bit oversalted - the food could be rated as Ok. As for the service: After getting the bill, we left the money (cash) on the table with significant tips. As we were leaving the restaurant, a few steps away from the table, we were stopped by our waitress with the question "Have you paid?". I want to make it very clear: she didn't ask if we need a credit card machine. She asked if we had paid. 3 meters away from our table with cash on it. My mum is a 55+ years respectable woman. We were devastated by the waitress's question & attitude. It was the first time I was ever asked this question. If my mum were not there, I'd return to the table (3 meters away) & take the tips back. Instead, I chose to write a review here to prevent others from such experiences. To the owner of the restaurant: for the love of God, please consider additional training for the staff NOT to ruin customers' evenings. I don't know how this restaurant got 4.5 stars on Google, or how it accepts this behaviour of the staff, but the night was pretty much ruined for me & my mum :(
