The fish of the day was haddock - which is what determines the one ceviche - & it was fresh 🙌. One ceviche? Was not happy with the seating - one table on the patio (maybe those bad locals who no-show?).. & a better space for 3, but we were sat deeper, & 5min later 2 were given the 3.
Small restaurant with pretty decent Peruvian food . It doesn't have a wow factor & the seating arrangement is almost diner style / bar which isn't always ideal.
great place! we enjoyed the food & the vibe. service started out excellent but then slowed down as it got busier but overall we were happy. would go back.

The food was very disappointing. I ordered the Chaufa Rice & it simply was not good. The chicken was fried to the point it was supper dry & the rice had that off-putting raw egg flavor. Given the long tradition of Peruvian Chinese food this was really disappointing. The service was also very poor, the type of service where they make you feel they are doing you a favor. If you are eating solo they will not even give you a table inside, you need to eat at the bar. The restaurant looks really nice inside.
Vraiment une très belle place! Les cocktails sont excellent tout comme la nourriture! Le service est rapide & attentionné! Par contre, réservé votre place, car ça se rempli assez vite!
Solo por tener estrella damm se merecen las 5 estrellas... (Dedicado a los espanoles que estén cansados de cervezas IPA, ALE,etc 😁) Hemos parado a tomar algo en la terraza y nos atendieron muy bien, son muy agradables, la terraza genial!
Assaisonnements parfaits, belle cuisine, plats originaux, frais, pas trop épicés, juste comme il faut ! Nous nous sommes régalés! Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de dessert au chocolat du Pérou, ça aurait été un carton plein 🤤 le service était très attentionné aussi. Très bon restaurant !
