Cipriana - cocina libre — Restaurant in Arequipa

Given the other reviews of Cipriana. It was at the top of my list to try. Yet, things kept preventing me from making it. I finally did and I am glad I did.

I walked in and it was about 1/2 full. Note, this is not a huge place. Before I finished my meal. The place had filled up and people were waiting for a table.

At 8pm Happy Hour was still being honored. This was a pleasant surprise.

As expected the Alpaca and the rest of the meal was very good. I do have one complaint. I should have ordered a starter/appetizer. I could have used more food than just the entree. This is not a complaint about the restaurant. The portions were of the expected size.

I think of you eat here you will be happy with the...

Highly disappointed - timings of drinks and meals was appalling- one drink came minutes after ordering, the other was after both meals had already been served despite asking (this was at least half an hour). One meal was partly cold (the vegetables and potatoes) - we sent it back only to have the plate return with the vegetables simply reheated and now the meat was cold. The other meal was presented differently than every other same meal served to other tables. As customers, consistency and timeliness are very important, this restaurant did not live up to its reviews in...

Probably the single best restaurant in Arequipa. Family-owned, but they clearly have very professional standards and high expectations of the quality of their food and the entire restaurant experience.

Nicely located, quiet backyard. The menu already shows careful thoughts - authentic cuisine, influenced by Capriana‘s own personal biography. Food was a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

When we asked our waiter about some ingredients, he told us without hesitation where it was from and how it was cooked. Wow! Absolutely recommended to everybody looking for a good restaurant...
