If you want to try the hospitality, spontaneity and sympathy of Peruvians you have to visit that place! The food is fantastic as well as the dressings and the drink 'chicha morada' served. I had gone to other traditional ones but with certainty this is the number 1 where you have the obligation to visit while in Lima!

What a great food experience: peruvian cuisine with some contamination. We tried 5 dishes: fish tiraditos, chupe de camarones, silversides tempura, arroz de hongos (mushrooms) and puelpo; all was fantastic!Only one area of improvement: dining in winter can be a bit cold; why do not closing the garden windows or be equipped with heaters?

Our waiter Joseph was very helpful explaining the menu options and suggested that we try a couple of "combos" to share among the three of us. This have us an excellent selection of Peruvian food. While we waited we were given complimentary Ceviche and blue pisco sour drinks. All of the food was delicious and served in a cheerful environment. I can recommend Barra Maretazo to anyone looking to try the local food in Miraflores.Jonathanstretchf - The combos are a cool choice if you are trying to taste everything!

Wow. Ranked #7 in Lima? Right up there with the world class restaurants? Even taking into consideration the price difference, I just don't get it. Peruvian? Really? There were a few innovations on the menu but basically this is an upmarket burger restaurant similar to what you would find in most North American cities. If you don't want any surprises, and want food an atmosphere similar to a bar/grill at home, at those same prices... this is the place for you. Service was "fine". Food was "fine". No complaints. No accolades.

The Skirt steak was outstanding and with a Malbec Luigi Bosca wine was perfect. The only dissonating moment was when the piano-man in the next door bar began to play his music combined with the restaurants own music, the mix of the two sounds just did not make a harmomius experienceDear client.

My meal started out well. I was dining early, so my drink order was taken quickly and the delicious focaccia bread arrived immediately. I ordered classic ceviche and the duck rice. The ceviche arrived in a huge portion - like two cups of ceviche for one person. It was flavorful and fresh, but the portion was too big. After I ate half of it, the waiter asked if it was okay. I said it was good, but too big. He said he would leave it to allow me to pick at it and mix it with my entree.The duck rice entree was good, but also very large. I finished what I could eat and left the rest. I was then left alone for about 30 minutes, while nobody stopped by the table or asked if I needed anything else, I tried to make eye contact multiple times, even waiving at waiters. Nobody stopped. They were hitting their peak busy time, but with more than ten waiters working, they easily could have checked in. The service was not bad, just slow. The food was good, but the portions were large. And the waiters made you feel like you were wasting food if you didn't finish everything.Dear kbrosnah, Thanks for visiting us, we appreciate your feedback. We hope to receive you soon in Nanka La Molina or in San Isidro. We will be waiting to provide you with the best Nanka experience. Best regards!

Astounded at the service, food, and drinks! We enjoyed the Lomo Saltado, beautiful chunks of beef and fried potatoes (what Americans would call French Fries) in a soy-based sauce, survived with rice and some Peruvian corn. Itâs traditional meal, superbly prepared. The service was exceptional. Our server dealt with our crappy Spanish but completely fluent in English. What a nice guy. Someh, our server talked us into this dessert... It was a caramel with whipped cream and cinnamon. Holy smokes! Outside-style dining, lovely decor, great traditional food, excellent, innovative drinks, and superb service. Worth a visit and highly recommended.¡Totalmente de acuerdo contigo!Estamos felices de que hayas podido disfrutar de nuestra experiencia en general. La próxima vez que nos visites, anÃmate a probar nuestro lomo saltado o nuestro plato bandera: el Tacu Tacu tres quesos, toda una delicia! Te estaremos esperando en cualquiera de nuestros restaurantes. Un Abrazo de parte de todo nuestro equipo Embarcadero 41 :D

A traditional family house in the monumental district of Barranco, shares the taste of the local food made by Afroperuvian women who had always cook for the family.

I was walking near the Puente de los Suspiros (Bridge of Sighs) in the Barranco district in Lima when I came across this restaurant. While I was looking at the menu outside the entrance the women whose family runs this restaurant struck up a conversation with me. She was so nice that I decided to eat dinner there. My favorite dish was a starter called Clausa which is a layer of avocado and mayonnaise surrounded by two layers of mashed yellow potatoes. There was a piano player entertaining the diners during dinner. Good food, friendly service, good location and nice atmosphere.
