Casual eatery with awesome food and nice service. We got the crab causa, a ceviche and the grilled pulpo and everything was great. It was all really fresh tasting (even the roasted/fried potatoes felt freshly made) and nicely seasoned. The octopus was cooked really well and the bonus was that it seemed like it was a little further away from the tourists so it was quiet. Highly recommend!

Amazing place for both local and tourist. The food is excellent. The owner and the waiter are so friendly helping us to overcome the language barrier and order the delicious dishes. Highly recommended.

I must say I found this restaurant by Google map but I am so right. The dish I ordered as photo I took is very delicious, although it’s pricy. I think it’s worth it. The pisco sour is much strong, hahaha. I even feel a little drunk when I had a half of it.

Amazing experience Peruana. Great service and quick. The waiter don’t hesitate to answer to our questions. Food was very nice, tasty with great flavours. Meat was very well cooked (as I asked) and the dish was well balanced. I’ve been on a Sunday night so the restaurant was very calm, which was good for me. You can find some typical Peruvians plate and some classical South American : heaps choice !

Welcoming vibe and good food await - we ordered the ossobuco tacos but they were out of tortillas and offered to substitute with a risotto. This was an amazing option and our favourite dish in Chile so far. The Milanese Chicken was well cooked and delicious with the avocado salad. Drinks were well priced and food was under 10,000 a dish. Our waiter was Peruvian and spoke excellent English. A great choice in Valparaíso
