Restaurant Huaca Pucllana

Dinner when the lights come on and the pyramid lights up is the best time of the evening! The food is great and the atmosphere even better. 2000+ years of history while sipping cocktails and enjoying gourmet Peruvian cuisine. The stuffed pepper and a chocolate sundae for dessert… extra yummy!

This restaurant in placed in a privileged place and the food is fantastic. However, I felt waiters are not there to make your experience unique like the surroundings but to do their job and that's it. Maybe the administration needs to change the way they operate; I was assisted by, at least, 5 different waiters who didn't know what stage of dinner I was in or about the last request I had made. This place has the potential to be in the top of every list. Don't waste the opportunity.

I’ve been here twice and both times the experience was similar - palatable food, mediocre to poor service, all in a beautiful setting. The second time I came was to bring my daughter because the atmosphere is amazing. Next time, we will go on the tour (which is well worth it) and simply slip into the restaurant for a picture. The food is generally not that good, edible, but not terrible… and very expensive for the quality. The service was inattentive both times. The last time, we asked for the space heater to be turned on. The server turned it on and it went off (maybe out of gas). I asked again for him to turn it on, it didn’t go on and he just quit working on it, nor did he bring another one over to replace the one that wouldn’t turn on. Both times I remember looking around for at least 5 minutes for someone, anyone to bring me a check. It also took several minutes to find someone to bring me a spoon for my stew. It’s amazing how hard it is to find a server given how many there are around and we sat at 5:30 PM so the restaurant was less than 1/4 full. But the setting is picturesque, especially with Huaca Pucllana lit up at night. Without tip or any alcohol, the pictured meal cost over PEN 300!

BEST Owners, staff, experience in all of Lima! An absolute MUST go. Food is authentic with a beautiful view of the Inca ruins. The best customer service and staff I have ever had!

The Bad 1. They cannot accommodate allergies. They said they could, they cannot. 2. If you have any substitutions made they will not season your food. 3. It’s expensive and not value for money. 4. Their wifi does not work. Couldn’t load a web page or call an uber home 5. With substitutions the food was bad imagining without them it would probably be okay The Good 1. Corvina tartare was great 2. Service was good and attentive 3. The drinks were good, we had the mule and Paloma
