    Wow. This food was very good. I really recommend this place. You have a lot of choice of Peruvian dishes. Very good service and affordable prices. I don't eat shrimp and they put me them separately so I can share with my friend. This was such a great idea. Fish and sauce was amazing. I love is to much. Drink was without alcohol very tasty and refreshing. I recommend both. My friend was happy with his choice too. They have wife to use. And you can pay by card. Amazing staff was happy to give me all recommendations and information I needed. Thank you for this. Very happy with experience. Definitely will be back.

    Live band! The food was amazing. We got a ceviche for for starters. The calamari was a bit over cooked apart from that, the ceviche was balance perfectly. For our main we got the Parihuela & lomo anticuchero. Everything was cooked perfectly. The soup was spicy but AMAZING. Had the perfect balance of spicy to acid. The drinks were strong. Our waiter Renee was great! Overall great experience.

    Really delicious food, even better cocktails. Service was really good too! As should be expected from a restaurant like this. Only thing to improve on is making sure their “snacks” while waiting isn’t stale.

    The food was delicious, one of the best restaurants in Medellin. The service is amazing too, the staff is careful and attentive. Beautiful location in the best area. I really recommend it.

    Food and service were both excellent, and like many local restaurants, the beverage options were spectacular as well. All seating is outdoor - though the weather is usually perfect so isn’t an issue. The ambience was excellent - it is directly adjacent to a river so you hear and feel like you’re in nature.

    This is by far one of the worst service we’ve experienced in Medellin. This area is in Provenza El Poblado so every single restaurant is full on the weekend. If you don’t speak Spanish then good luck, they won’t talk to you at all. The hostess is really unfriendly and the music is loud. The food is the only good thing here but it’s also average at best. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you only visit for 1-2 nights in Medellin and want a spectacular experience. Do yourself a FS kit and walk to Manila area. It’s a much better vibe and service. Thanks but no thanks.

    If you want to experience nice food and don’t care about loud music, then this place is for you. Food was great. Options, too. Very well served, fair price. Now: talking was impossible. Live singers were SO loud, was not possible to keep any conversation and destroyed the mood on the table. We just wanted to eat fast to leave the place. Service was nice on the table but arriving with thunderstorm and having people at the door with umbrellas that didn’t help us was kind of a disappointment. Service at the door was also left to desire. Nice place but again, list of personal disappointments there to help with what you’re looking for.

    We had lunch at this restaurant on June 08, 2023. The food was good and the staff were excellent. The octopus tentacle was excellent. The ambience was great with a small stream flowing and the surrounding greenery.

    Great Peruvian place in Medellin. Nice everything including food, wifi, decorations, , environment, drinks and service. I kept coming back. Be careful with the sangria mediana if consuming for one person. It’s a lot !

  • 3/5 Paige D. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was okay! Honestly, not the best. We enjoyed the red soup. The steak dishes (Lomo con queso y lomo tagliatelle) were small and lacked flavor, the cheese sauce was not rich. The coconut lemonade was one of the best I've had too.

  • 5/5 Tu N. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great experience. The vibe with the low lighting and music is the perfect date night spot. The food was packed with flavor and quality was top notch. The steak was a bit over cooked in my opinion. Would stick to the seafood.

  • 5/5 Sonya 10 months ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in Medellin!! Delicious high-quality food in a great open air space. Good service. Lots of great seafood options. A MUST VISIT 💯 (I wish I had more pics, I’ve gone so many times 🙈)

  • 4/5 Mavi P. 1 year ago on Google
    Peruvian fusion restaurant! The best dishes were the Empanadas and the Creamy Rice! Really recommend those dishes. Service was nice, but very busy so they made a few mistakes. Still very attentive and corrected right away.

  • 5/5 Yalile V. 1 year ago on Google
    I have visited this restaurant two times already and I’m just very grateful with the staff. I really love food here and spot is very nice. It’s usually full on weekends so, I highly recommend you to make reservations. If it’s during the week you can easily find an spot to enjoy with friends, lover and family 💗

    This restaurant was amazing. went for lunch with a friend on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance of the restaurant is exquisite and beautifully appointed. The waitstaff was very nice and professional. For starters, I ordered the chicken spring rolls and my friend had the tuna, both we're incredible. For mains, I ordered the sauteed loin and my friend had risotto dish with shrimp and we were both overwhelmed by the deliciousness. O really, I had a very positive experience eating here and I would definitely recommend it!

    do not get the espresso martini! it was horribly strong, but didn’t taste like a vodka or tequila so unsure what it was made with. the empanada and spring roll appetizer are good though, the causa rocoto was interesting - tasted like cold potato and chicken salad. overall not bad.

  • 5/5 Keith 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding restaurant with great service. Delicious drinks and food. Great ambience without door seating. Definitely must try the empanadas as an appetizer. Every entree we ordered was delicious!

  • 5/5 Nadia M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing dinner with excellent service and in a beautiful location. The portions are huge and all the food we ordered was fantastic - special muchas gracias a Felipe !!

  • 5/5 Jack L. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent atmosphere- you feel like you’re eating in a small rain forest. The restaurant is surrounded by tall trees and plants and you can hear the rustle of the plants as you eat. The menu has an extensive selection of Peruvian dishes. I opted for a sampler dish that has 4 different items - a great way to try a few things all at once!

  • 4/5 Roxana G. 1 year ago on Google
    We were happy with our ceviche and especially the pisco sour. The salmon acevichado was good but too small for a main dish. Prices were quite high. The view is great and the setting aswell. Very stylish interior.

  • 5/5 Tomas B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, great service and delicious cocktails. Food prices are comparable to the rest of the neighbourhood, cocktails are cheaper (and better). Definitely recommend to come!

  • 5/5 Katharina M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly and fast service. Nice atmosphere and a good selection of dishes. Unfortunately there are only two vegetarian dishes! The nibbles before the meal are also very tasty and addictive!

  • 5/5 Nil C. 2 years ago on Google
    If you like seafood this is definitely one of the best to try in Medellin. We went here for a birthday and it was very delicious.the food was cooked just right and the ambience couldn't have been better. the staff was very nice and helped with making recommendations for just about everything. I can't wait to come back and try more food!

  • 5/5 ido k. 2 years ago on Google
    every dish we ordered was really tasty this is the place for people who love raw food(ceviche, tartar etc..) or food in general :-) service was really good

  • 3/5 STRUT F. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious! The scenery is beautiful nestled between trees. The ambiance was a bit annoying. I live locally and this was the first time in my months of living here where I not only saw gringos, but was surrounded by their complaints. This is what I get for going to a place many locals don't venture to because it's priced for foreigners.

  • 5/5 R S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, great variety and large portion sizes. Waiters also speak English, which is helpful. Pricey by Colombian standards (starter and entree are around $40) but worth it. Have live music playing sometimes

😠 We ordered a mixed ceviche and it was very acidic, you couldn't eat it, the presentation was terrible in a plastic cup. We paid 28,900 each and it was just onion, a small fish bite and 3 shrimp.
