I've lived in Barranco and neighboring Miraflores for more than a decade. I've owned and operated a boutique, tailor-made vacation company for much of this time, helping the foreign clients of my business visit the best local spots to enjoy honest Peruvian food and service....I've enjoyed Canta Rana for many years, happily tolerating average service, high prices, but wonderful fresh food, specifically Peruvian ceviche made from raw fish with Lime. To give a sense on price vs value. The traditional fish ceviche (with avocado) is 50 soles (approximately 15 dollars), which is twice the cost of most all cevicherias en Barranco. Fresh fish is important for Peruvian ceviche and Canta Rana provides this level of freshness. Only they provide it at twice the cost, and what has become increasingly egotistical service. Canta Rana is a restaurant with good intentions, an ownership with a long history in the community, and a long line for weekend ceviche to boot. But it is far past it's prime on providing an authentic Peruvian ceviche. From my perspective, it's become a restaurant living off it's laurels of past reputation, yet forgetting what honest Peruvian ceviche is and should be. At 50 soles for a traditional ceviche, one can enjoy ceviche one of the top rated restaurants in Peru and the world. Moreover, one can enjoy a ceviche at half of that cost at most street corners in the city, yet with service with less ego more human centered and empathetic. I truly want to be a cheerleader for Canta Rana, including it's other restaurant in Puna Hermosa, a beach town south of Lima where I also spend time. They have served an important place in Peru's ascendance in gastronomy and within Lima/Barranco tourism. But as someone with a stake in how Peru's restaurant scene is looked at by the world, I'm also very keen to ensure that our cities top cevicherias represent the best and most authentic version of Peru possible. Please Canta Rana...Improve your service, provide more fair prices and understand that your restaurant represents Barranco. I'm rooting for you! In candidness, your neighbor Nick.More

excellent ceviche, pasta, & seafood 🦞 they have been on the same spot for almost fifty years, quite a while before recent ceviche places, a big deal on this place is it being a contemporary classic without pretense

Creo que solo el ceviche de champignones. La mayoría es comida del mar, pescados y mariscos.

I don’t know if reservations are possible. I advice to get there early because it is full during lunch hour.
