Reviews
I had a great experience at Lady Bee. The drinks were really good — lots of creative options with interesting ingredients, and it was fun exploring the menu. The service was excellent as well. I received a lot of helpful recommendations and was checked on throughout the night, which made the experience even better. The food was good too and paired nicely with the cocktails. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back the next time I’m in Lima.
What an amazing spot! Drinks, food and service were phenomenal in my opinion. I liked that it highlighted different Peruvian ingredients you wouldn’t find anywhere else. For a Top 50 gastrobar, the prices were reasonable as well. Highly recommend anyone visiting Lima to check Lady Bee out.
This place specializes in highly curated, unique high-end drinks, each with its own story. I was too present to take photos, but it’s definitely an experience. It would make a great first-date spot. I also really liked the lighting—very moody and not bright at all—which gives the space a cavernous feel. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly. They all spoke English and were happy to switch to explain the ingredients. Martin Boyce Barbados
Vibey bar/restaurant with truly unique cocktails & dishes highlighting Peru’s extreme environments. We enjoyed every bite and loved their creativity. Highlights were the oyster, the scallops & chocolate pumpkin dessert. It’s a bit pricey and plates are on the smaller side, but overall we thought it was worth it.
My husband and I adored Lady Bee. From the exceptional food (everything is incredible, but do not miss the chicken milanese) and and highly curated cocktails (we did our best to taste through as many from the menu as we could) to the wonderfully attentive service, everything went well beyond our original expectations. So much so that we came here three nights during our week-long stay in Lima - in a city with one of the world's best food + bev scenes, it was that amazing! The owners are warm and friendly and you can truly tell how much care they put into sharing their craft, and it was immediately clear why this was named both the world's most hospitable bar and also number 13 on the World's 50 Best Bars List for 2025. It's the type of place that you will want to return to many times (as we ourselves did), and one that you'll likely measure all future bars against (as we will be doing). Truly outstanding from the first time we walked in the door to our last time walking out. This will be our first visit the next time we find ourselves in Lima.
