La Quesería Craft Cheese & Wood Oven — Restaurant in Arequipa

Ordered a cheese plate. Basic cheeses. Far better selection available at the Santa Clarita market for much cheaper. Adding stale almonds and raisins to the cheese board isn't do anything to enhance the experience. Since wood fired pizza is suppose to be thier thing and the reason we went there we ordered a pizza. It was not cooked in a wood fired oven and was more a flat bread rather than a proper pizza. We decided to take the remaining pizza home. It was placed as is into a paper bag. We ordered 2 beers that were supposedly brewed on site. At 18 soles each they were a ripoff. One was flat a minute after we poured and the other had a citrus taste. The final straw was when I paid by card they asked for my passport number. I have paid for dozens of items and resteraunt bills in peru and have never been asked that info.

During this time the waiter ran to the table to see if we left any tips there. He changed his attitude completely and started to speak about us in spanish to one of the staff behind the bar while we were still there. All in all, the place looks nice, food was average and we did not have a...

I was very disappointed - while the lomo saltado looks good, the waiter said it was great. The meat was sadly so grissly - so much fat hard to chew not pleasant. Fries and rice were under cooked, sauce was ok. My friend said her Sachipapas were fine and the chicha was good.

I am a Wisconsin girl and was so pumped to see a cheese place with cows everywhere - it looked good but sadly it really wasn’t. To top it off price wasn’t high but it wasn’t cheap either. Very disappointing.

I feel like the staff tried but almost everything fell short. I hope they figure some things out. ...
