Absolute scammers. On top of terrible service (the waiter mostly grunted to any question asked without giving an answer) at the time of paying for my bill their machine wasn't functioning properly. I passed my card and the screen didn't show confirmation nor rejection of the payment, so the waiter asked to do it again. After doing it for a second time, the same thing happened, but I got two notifications on my phone that the payments had gone through and hit my credit card. So when I showed them this and tried to explain it to them they kept insisting that the payment hadn't occurred because the machine didn't show anything. This situation went on for 40min until I had no chance but to pay in cash for the 3rd time, while they assured me that if the payments went through they would cancel them and return the money. They took my details to contact me. The next day, surprisingly to no one, the payments had gone through and I had been charged 3 times. But they refused to return the money for one of the payments claiming they could only see one of them in their system. I ended up paying twice for my meal because of their inability to understand the payment system they use (while I had to stand 40min of them 'explaining' to me how, with all certainty, the payment hadn't occurred). My bad, because I should have never trusted them to pay in cash. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.
The worst restaurant experience we have had in Peru. First of all our tables were dirty and nobody cleaned these. They mixed up our drinks order. Then they brought bread in the table together with butter but no knife, no plates, no napkins. No idea how you are supposed to put the butter on the bread. Bread looked like different pieces of leftovers put together. We were the only people in the restaurant and ordered 2xravioli, French fries and chocolate cake and we waited for more than an hour. Food was not great but also not the worst. But horrible part was that waitress was touching the food with bare hands (same hands that she is using to touch money). So this place has some hygiene issues also. While we were in the restaurant there were 3 waitresses and they didn’t come to table the whole time we waited to ask if we would need new drinks or anything else. Very bad service in general.
We had lunch on the front porch, a small, cozy and bright indoor garden. The food was tasty and typical. We recommend the soup with poached egg and the carpaccio, both delicious and made with local ingredients.
Everything is excellent, especially the BBQ pork rib. The environment and atmosphere are amazing. We came here twice and experienced lovely lunch and dinner.
Excellent food and service. Friendly staff. Since it is a small operation, you have to be patient and enjoy your wine or appetizer, till the main dish gets ready. It's not a quick serve and every dish is prepared after it's ordered.
