Maybe the best meals I have had so far in northern Peru. Numerous healthy options, chilled ambience inside and exceptional service (by Peruvian standards). A must visit.
Thoughtfully prepared, delicious, healthy food. Thank you for a beautiful meal!
The best menú I’ve had in Peru. The food is super delicious but also very healthy. They use this integral rice which is super tasty. Would recommend coming here especially for the lunch menú. A lot of different options and super affordable.
I went for two days and loved the lomo saltado with rice and the chaufa with quinoa. The ají salad is delicious. The service is friendly!
The vegetarian options were great! Quinoa chifa and soy basef options - yum!!!
