Recenzje
My bar for Peruvian food was quite high and although I liked the food here I couldn’t give 5 stars. It would be 4.5 if it was possible as it seems quite authentic, but there was something missing. Portions are very decent though.
If you're looking for authentic Peruvian dishes, this is the place. Everything was top notch, with very friendly service, and all meals were delicious. Highly recommended!
Delicious food with adequate portions. Small place with an open live kitchen. Smell of good food filling the tiny restaurant. The team has a vibe. The chef is someone who has great culinary experience and it shows in the food. Not too many choices on the menu - Smaller menu lesser drama! 😄 Since there was no English menu, the chef explained every dish clearly with its flavour profiles. I haven’t seen a Peruvian restaurant in Warsaw till now and it was a pleasant surprise that we found one and it actually turned out to be a great find. I will for sure be back try out more from their menu.
Such a cute spot, honestly one of the warmest dining experiences I’ve had here. We started with yucas fritas & chifles (fried cassava with house sauce & thin plantain chips). The yuca was soft & fluffy inside with a crispy outside, super comforting, & the sauce was creamy with a slight tang. The chifles were light, crunchy, a little sweet, perfect to snack on. Then choritos a la chalaca (mussels topped with fresh lime, red onion, chili & corn). Super fresh & bright. You get that sharp citrus, a bit of heat, a touch of sweetness from the corn, & the mussels are soft & slightly briny. Very clean & refreshing. Ceviche clásico was the highlight. Fresh fish (a firm white fish, similar to sea bass) marinated in lime juice with red onion, cilantro & ají. It’s very vibrant, citrusy, slightly spicy, with that classic leche de tigre that’s both acidic & savory. It really wakes up your palate. Peruvian food is honestly amazing & I really hope it becomes more popular here. As a Mexican, it feels familiar in the love for bold flavors, citrus, spice & freshness, but still very unique in its own way. I also got the ají de gallina to go because the food was that good, & it was honestly delicious. Super creamy, rich, slightly nutty from the sauce, but still balanced. Also the staff & chef Aldo were genuinely so warm & welcoming, which is honestly rare here in Poland. It didn’t feel forced at all & made the whole experience even better.
Rico! Loved everything on the menu, truly an authentic experience in warsaw, staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is amazing, we played spanish songs and enjoyed a great meal. Gracias!
