Kao Thai and Peruvian Cuisine
Peru
レビュー
The food was an absolute explosion of flavors and incredibly delicious. Every ingredient was perfectly balanced, and the combination of flavors was simply outstanding. A special thanks to Dalia, who took excellent care of us from start to finish. She made us feel truly welcome and ensured we had a fantastic evening. Her friendly and attentive service made the whole experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!
The experience of eating at this wonderful place was magnificent. I had my doubts when I saw the menu but once I had the first bite I was blown away by the fusion of Thai and Peruvian food, the chef does a great job at combining these flavors. Not only did we get delicious food but we also got art, the food was served in so creative dishes that it made you feel like you where eating art. Give this place a try and enjoy every bite.
We only had one dinner in Arequipa and so glad we spent it here. We’re from NYC so we eat a lot of fusion lol but this isn’t gimmicky, it’s just good food. Luis is AMAZING and so so nice. Gave great recommendations. He’s the best. We loved the appetizers (red curry ceviche and corn cake things) The fish entree was GREAT. The guy was not our thing. It’s very very fatty meat. Small portion. Make a reservation. Can make day-of. The desserts were the only low point. They’re trying to do too much. The flavors clash. The white chocolate brownie tasted like nothing. Honestly the basil cheesecake was good, just tiny.
We have visited Kao twice during our two week stay studying in Arequipa. It has exceeded our expectations both times. This is mostly thanks to Luiz who is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He was excellent with dietary requirements and really made a difference with his explanations of the menu and drinks. The food is excellent - we had the fantastic fresh ceviche and the trout tartar. I tried cuy for the first time (not sure it’s for me), but the shrimp dish I had the first time was incredible, maybe I should have had that again. The cocktails are really good! Only thing I would say is the wine is very overpriced, but expected in a restaurant.
Visited Kao on mine and my husband’s 2nd night in Arequipa. Absolutely loved everything about this spot so much that we had to come again on our final night of our 3 day trip to this city. Over the 2 nights we had the Challwa Boa, Bonito Roll, Corvina with Amazon Curry Rice, Pakucha Charki & Peanut Butter Noodles, Curry Majeño, Kurry from the Valley and the Sea. (The Corvina was my favorite but everything was great.) For drinks, I paired the Corvina with the Kante and my husband had the Pad Thai Soul with the Alpaca. We were both very happy with our picks and fans of each others drinks. We had two desserts over the 2 nights. The Q’Ello Phuyu and the Ko-Mousse were each divine and totally unique. I highly recommend both! I really enjoyed the design and layout to the space. The open-concept kitchen allows you to have a sneak peak to the magic happening to make these incredible dishes. I felt very welcomed and cared for on each of our visits. Our server, Luis, guided us through the menu, helping us with options paced on dietary restrictions and preferences. The entire staff were very helpful and friendly. The blend of flavors found in the meals and beverages, service, atmosphere was phenomenal. I know if I lived here, we would be regulars. Do yourself a favor and go enjoy this delicious food.
