Can you give a restaurant 6 stars? I think this one deserves it. The price is high for Peru but totally worth it if you can spend it. It's a great place to bring tourists. We ordered a fish of 1.3kg and prepared it 3 ways: Tallarín Saltado (8/10), Jalea Chiclayana (10/10), and Chilcano (10/10). We also ordered Lengua (10/10). The Tallarín was very good and you sort of need to order something with rice or noodles to fill up because otherwise it's just the fish itself. The Jalea came with the fish's head which my mom loved and took home. The Chilcano was just the broth made out of the fish bones. Finally, the Lengua (tongue) was so soft and the stew of the dish was just the best stew I've ever had in my life. Something to note is that the dishes (even the canchita) come with a bit of spiciness (very mild to mild).

Outstanding. Best seafood I’ve had in Lima. Ridiculously large plates filled with the freshest fish, octopus, clams, crabs, etc. I also appreciated maitre d taking his time to find a spontaneous table for us and then proceed to spend 10 minutes explaining everything on the menu. I didn’t know people could be so nice… I guess saints do walk the earth. We’ve had scallops, fish soup (sudado), and a grilled lobster in yellow pepper sauce. Everything was to die for. And then there are churros. Yes you should get them. No you don’t have to thank me. Just let the warm sweet dough melt in your mouth.

Hands down one of the most remarkable experiences in Lima. From the moment you walk in ‘till you leave, just perfect. Fun, delicious food, great ambiance, it is a little on the expensive side so just be aware of that but totally worth it for a especial occasion. The style of choosing a fish and having it prepared in three or four different ways works well and they also have a daily menu. Recommended!

Nos ubicar luego de una espera en un salón sin ventanas oscuro la atención mediocre y el precio para dos personas 2.750 soles.Un pescadito de un kg preparado mitad a la parrilla y la otra mitad con arroz un jugo un pizco y un ceviche de erizo para picar.Nada más. No vale ese precio ni cerca por los otros lugares que he ido en toda la semana en Lima No vuelvo
