This may have once been a cuisine-orientated restaurant, but has seriously lost its way. As a Peruvian, I was excited to take French family members who had never tried Peruvian cuisine before. I'm sorry I did.
If you must make up your own mind and choose to go, the kitchen demonstrates more confidence in the cold starters than the insipid, and greasy main dishes. The tuna and mashed potato 'Causa' was the sole redeeming dish for me.
Avoid the ugly, and sickly maracuya and strawberry 'mousse' at all cost. How long it had sat in the dessert cabinet I dont know. Sadly, it caught my little 5yo's eye, and after suffering a (child's) portion of RAW chips with an anaemic, battered fish fillet that would have EMBARRASSED any self-respecting Peruvian, I felt I had to make it up to him. Disgusting and rubbery.
Freshly cooked (Peruvian) food doesn't leave you feeling bloated and drained of energy. Macchu Pisko's did. It also left me feeling as if it was having a sly chuckle at having fooled another paying customer.
There have to be better Peruvian dining...
   Read moreTwo stars for the kind service, but otherwise this place needs a manager who reviews it entirely. Iâll give some feedback in the hope that at least some of it is addressed. you need to change the air of this place from time to time, as soon as you enter it smells of a place that has been closed for a while a restaurant doesnât become elegant just because you make the decor white: the present decor just makes it look impersonal and as if you were at a wedding of someone you donât know the glass plates in which you serve food are not suitable to cut anything in them; they may be good for cheese but you canât cut meat in it. The knife is also not suited for meat the shape of glasses is also uncomfortable and itâs easy to pour water outside them the food is the more difficult to change: itâs bad quality, and badly cooked, hard (both fish and meat) and the many sauces you add canât cover it; - far too expensive for...
   Read moreBonjour, y Ă©tant allĂ© plusieurs fois (malgrĂ© moi), et ayant vu la cuisine, ne vous fiez pas aux vidĂ©os de promotion YouTube oĂč un chef ou artiste pĂ©ruvien peut ĂȘtre conviĂ© pour un Ă©vĂšnement particulier (type ambassade, comme pour le repas spĂ©cial fait Ă guise de publicitĂ© touristique, effectivement excellent ce jour lĂ mais pour l'image: malheureusement, des plats que vous ne retrouverez jamais dans vos assiettes). Pour le public normal, ayant Ă©tĂ© au PĂ©rou et ayant des amis pĂ©ruviens, ou souhaitant y aller, comme vous et moi, le ceviche est sorti Ă l'avance du rĂ©frigĂ©rateur en fonction des clients, donc imaginez la fraĂźcheur d'un plat de poisson cru censĂ© ĂȘtre frais (il existe de nombreux restaurants pĂ©ruviens Ă Paris avec peut ĂȘtre moins de marketing pour le cadre, mais au moins plus authentiques niveau plats). Le cadre est censĂ© faire "haute gastronomie". De la "haute gastronomie" pour des ingrĂ©dients frais, cela peut ĂȘtre Ă ce prix (et encore ce ne serait pas assez cher si c'Ă©tait frais), mais malheureusement le profit prime sur la qualitĂ© offerte. Bref de la "haute" gastronomie pĂ©ruvienne alors qu'en vĂ©ritĂ© vous n'aurez que de la "basse" gastronomie, c'est Ă dire pas de gastronomie du tout. Si Picard faisait des plats pĂ©ruviens, vous pourriez y aller Ă la place, et gagner du temps et de l'argent, sans vous ĂȘtre fait vendre une illusion. Allez voir ailleurs Ă Paris pour manger quelque chose de vraiment pĂ©ruvien, peut ĂȘtre dans un cadre moins diffĂ©rent, mais pour apprĂ©cier de manger des saveurs plutĂŽt que du marketing. Et je prie de m'excuser les personnes ayant publiĂ© des commentaires positifs auparavant, soit vous ĂȘtes tombĂ© sur une soirĂ©e spĂ©ciale VIP, soit vous n'ĂȘtes jamais allĂ© au PĂ©rou, soir vous vous ĂȘtes fait arnaquĂ© en pensant manger quelque chose de frais, mais au moins vous en serez d'autant plus heureux en arrivant au PĂ©rou ou dans un autre restaurant de Paris servant des...
