Fodor's "Chef Gastón Acurio's reinvention of the traditional cebichería is not only one of Lima's most popular lunch spots, it is also the model for a franchise." Full review
Travel + Leisure "You can’t come to Lima without sampling Peru’s most famous dish—ceviche. And this is the best place to try it." Full review

Frommer's "The concept is simple: high-quality seafood in an unpretentious setting." Full review
Lonely Planet "Choose from 10 types of ceviche and almost as many varieties of tiraditos or just try the degustación, with five different kinds." Full review

From $25/night
Concierge "Even if Huaca Pucllana were located in the world's most nondescript setting, the food alone—from the crunchy yuca spirals with huancaína sauce to the classic house ceviche—would warrant a visit."
Fodor's "You feel like a part of history at this beautiful restaurant, which faces the ruins of a 1,500-year-old pyramid." Full review
Frommer's "This is nothing less than one of the most incredible restaurant settings anywhere in the world, nestled within the compound of a 1,500-year-old adobe pyramid." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A large terrace provides up-close views of the pre-Inca pyramid, which is illuminated after dark to create an even more dramatic setting." Full review
BlackBook "Crisp white lines and minimalist decor put the focus where it should be: on the impressively lit pre-Inca ruins right outside the window."
