I rarely leave reviews, but when an experience is truly exceptional, I feel compelled to share. The cuisine was outstanding—crafted with top-quality ingredients and full of authentic flavor. The service provided by Antoinette was impeccable; she was incredibly kind and attentive. To top it off, the chef personally came to check on us, which added a thoughtful and welcoming touch. We absolutely loved the food and the overall experience. Highly recommend! Muchas gracias a todo el equipo !

As a Peruvian I felt that the food was really as close to our food as possible whilst being abroad! Anticuchos are delicious, the Cuzqueña super cold as it has to be. The lúcuma dessert a dream! KUDOS - come en casa

What a hidden gem! We stumbled upon it purely by chance while exploring our new neighborhood. Before our visit, we reached out to Lima to ask if they could prepare plant-based dishes, and the wonderful staff went above and beyond to veganize two iconic Peruvian dishes for us: ceviche and lomo saltado. The food was absolutely delicious — far exceeding our expectations. We were thrilled with the entire experience and will definitely be coming back. Honestly, we haven't had such high-quality meals, even at dedicated vegan restaurants!

Almost a hidden gem in a side street of Basel. Nicely decorated, very clean place. The waitress was inexperienced but friendly and helpful. The food itself took rather long to arrive but was carefully prepared. Taste-wise we didn’t like it too much as it was pretty salty and extremely creamy. But that’s just us, others might look for exactly that. Unfortunately, the prices are on the high side. Not sure how the prices can be justified…

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit this beautiful place, and in a very cozy atmosphere with very friendly hosts, curious about Peruvian gastronomy we decided to go to celebrate my birthday with an incredible dinner, it was really super delicious, without a doubt you have to try it

We tried the cevice and lomo saltado as well as the desserts and everything was delicious and fresh. Antuanette and her family really have a passion for food and service. Warmly reccomended.
