La Parra

Reviewed By Peterscot - Stanley, Falkland Islands

This busy restaurant doesnt waste money with frills- Good service and food are the main priorities. Two tender steaks and papafrites plus a bottle of red for 50 soles. Shame the frites arrived 10 minutes after the steaks, but they were very busy.

Pizzeria Venecia

Reviewed By Sam O - Antibes, France

This place is completely overrated and I don't get why. I've perhaps exaggerated it wasn't 'poor' quality but seriously, the pizza was below average, very much reminded me of Argentinian pizzas.. too much not very tasty cheese, bread-like texture of the bases, no tomatoe sauce.. The service was fine and it's true it's slow but I'd been ready for that, people order takeaways and there's a que outside. I just wish i knew what ghe fuss was about.. The familial size pizzas are the biggest and honestly you need one of these between two if you have any vague appetite. The waiter unfortunately misheard half our order so we were there from 9pm until 1030pm - not including waiting time outside. I'd really not recommend this place for the pizzas. It's also fairly pricey - familial pizzas arnd 40soles and the personalnsized ones at 8 soles but i cant imagine how tiny they must be. Note that there are two restaurant locations and both meant to be identical (in the same street - abt 1block apart)

Restaurant Romana

Reviewed By Harold M - Montreal, Canada

When I got in town and asked for the most genuine cuisine restaurant here,more than 10 peoples suggested me this restaurant. I went there and they didn't lie. This is probably the most authentic restaurant in town. It's no longer named ¨La Romana¨ because this name was already in use in Lima.They are now know by the name of ¨Balta 512¨ wich is also their addres. They serve classic peruvian food like you were in a local house. The flavours are rich and well balanced. I don't know what to suggest you in particular but there are few dishes that I love there such the ¨cabrito norteño¨(tender goat meat in a dark souce) or ¨Jalea¨ (sort of a fried-panned seafood dish). Their best weapon is their service. Their young and smily staff will charm you right away. Rates are very affordable based on the quality of your dishes.

We've eaten twice at the Lima version but this is the original. Three floors of dining. Ceviche al carbon (hot ceviche) is a speciality as is goat and duck with green rice Chiclayo style. Excellent food and good service.

The dishes' flavor, and texture are average with other local restaurants. The prices are very high comparing similar restaurants, and the location is kind of dusty and dirty. The meat in one of the dishes was overcooked.

Reviewed By Carfull

Our friends and my wife liked this place much more than I did. The service was good, the atmosphere cafeteria-like. The food was very plain, with run-together tastes, and limited menu compared to Chinese restaurants in the USA or China.
The noodles were hard to find on the menu, and did not seem fresh made. The wontons were big and tasteless. I did like the lemon chicken and the fruit chicken. Color me underwhelmed.

Vichayo Restobar Eirl

Reviewed By Judi Q - Adelaide, Australia

This is a delightful place for lunch and the serves are very generous. It is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood and from the outside looks very unpretentious. Inside is a different story; the restaurant is very clean and the staff are very efficient and friendly and the menu is enormous and looks more like a newspaper than your standard menu. I ate the best ceviche here, that I have tasted since arriving in Peru and it was served in a manner that I haven't encountered before, with lots of vegetable accompaniments. The desserts are also worth trying and according to my dining companion the crepes are divine.
