This restaurant has been here for about 30 years for good reason. The ceviche appetizer with 4 styles of ceviche was tasty and beautifully presented. My husband ordered an octopus entree; the waiter suggested he try the octopus with rosemary and balsamic. It was the best octopus we have every eaten. The drinks were OK but we had better ones...

Located across the street from the Radisson Decapolis Miraflores, a short stroll from the John F. Kennedy park. Menu was varied - meat, fish, pasta, etc. Very attentive, efficient service. Restaurant was recommended by the hotel concierge. Appetizer, entre, desert, bottle of sparkling wine, tax (10%) and tip for two came to about $100.00 USD (260.00 soles) - very reasonable... More

I would strongly recommend this restaurant which is located in the Miaflores area. Not a long walk from the JFK Park. The atmosphere was good. The service was attentive. More importantly, the food was great. The seafood was so good that we went back for the second time. For appetizers, I would recommend the Pacific Zodiac or the Catamaran Grill.... More

Some of the best seafood I have ever had, fresh, beautifully cooked and presented, and in a really nice setting, we had lunch here, only wish we had the time to go for dinner also!

The mixed seafood ceviche was to die for. Am really not fond of raw fish dishes but this was so worth it. They also had an excellent sole with asparagus dish. Prices not cheap but worth the food. The flavored butter wirh the bread basket was a pleasant surprise and tasty. The complimentary pisco sour welcome drink was also a... More

This came highly recommended for our penultimate meal in Peru before returning to the UK after 17 days. Good service, good but not exceptional food and definitely not up to the standards of the best in Cusco. Pricey for the quality. A little disappointing and I would be surprised if there was not better in Lima.

My wife's food was excellent, but mine was cold. We ate early, around 6 PM and the place was quiet. I ordered the Catamaran plate with lots of grilled seafood. It was a true disappointment, especially for the price.

In the heart of Miraflores, right off the beach, this little restaurant didn't disappoint. Simply some of the best food I've had in years - the three of us ordered a variety of dishes, all of which were bursting with unique and exquisite flavors.

This restaurant was recommended by the concierge. It was a 10 minute walk from the hotel and wonderful way to start our holiday. If you like fish and seafood it is definately worth a visit. The selection of ceviche was delicious and unsual, it was our first taste of octopus ceviche. The picso sours were aplenty as well!
