Perfect! Super delicious and always a visit worth. I had some experiences in Lima already like Kjolle and the Dumpling Dish was in a such high level of quality and experience like compared to other high class restaurants. The sashimi was perfect fresh and in perfect consistence. The Maki’s had a perfect mixture of components and the taste was awesome in combination.
The staff is super friendly and overall service and recommendations made it to an awesome experience.

Stumbled upon this restaurant for a random dinner while visiting Lima with my husband to visit Central, Maido etc. We did the tasting menu and it was fantastic! Servers were friendly, dishes were thoughtful, and the restaurant was very clean.

Amazing place.
We took tasting menu, which includes 8 courses and only one was “just OK”, everything else was from good to exceptional.
Rich combination of flavors, good cocktails, perfect service and reasonable price.
Strongly recommended.

You NEED to go to this restaurant in Lima. So so good! We did the menu degustación and it’s one of the best experiences of our life.
The food was exquisite and the staff was super attentive to our needs, not only asking us for any allergy but also preferences/things we didn’t like.
Sergio and his team are so attentive to details and really take you through a journey with the food. Best food I have ever had.
A must in the city!!!
