Lounge del Brujo — Restaurant in Arequipa

Found this place on Happy Cow and decided to give it a go. Did not disappoint! Our server was lovely, food delicious and the venue is beautiful.

/Edit 10.11.2025: Sadly I need to update my review after tonight's dining experience which was complete opposite to our 1st visit. We brought two of our friends with us as we had hyped how nice this place was and especially how good the fries were that came with the burgers. We arrived to a fully lit/very bright restaurant and they were playing very loud music on the speakers (last time the atmosphere was very cozy with candles and chill music), the heavy metal blasting at the beginning was particularily interesting choice. Then the waiter served us warm drinks and seemed rather confused why we asked for ice.

All this we could've looked past but the real disappointment was the food. First we got bread with hummus that didn't taste like hummus at all. The main course burgers arrived cold and were served with tasteless, oily crisps (and one with nachos...?) instead of the fries. We asked the waiter where are the fries but he just said there's no fries, which would've been nice to know when we placed the order. My partner ordered the Achifada burger that was supposed to be served with sauteed mushrooms and "achifada sauce", but it came with avocados, tomato slices and nachos instead. When he questioned what happened to the mushrooms the waiter said they're in the sauce (despite the menu saying differently) and with closer inspection there was not even sauce in the burger. We all suspected they had brought the wrong burger but the waiter kept gaslighting/insisting it was the correct burger even after we pointed out all the differences. Very odd.

Please get rid off this Monday-team and bring back the lady who worked during our first visit and the chefs who...

I don’t leave reviews often but after searching for the best vegan restaurants in central Arequipa this has been the best, better than Prána Vegan club in my opinion! My server Dayana was so sweet & put up with my minimal Spanish!

I had the chicharrón arequipeño(fried seitan, cebollita de criollo con mushroom, & sweet potato), lomo saltado con pasta a la huancaína(I got to-go), and limonada..everything was great!

It’s a chill but nice restaurant with half semi outside seating and part café(the inside). Cozy and beautiful! They have a nice cocktail bar as well -so I would recommend if you are searching for a nice night out with vegan food/drinks!

The food tastes better than it looks in my pictures! I promise, I have tried lots of really great vegan food, and I highly recommend...

Really enjoyed the vibe of this place! It's so great to find a fully vegetarian and vegan menu in Peru we ordered the Fresh Rolls, Salad Bowl with carmalized pecans, avocado and oyster mushrooms, and Risotto Peruano Marin. All were very delicious. Really enjoyed a fresh salad and the dressing it had. Risotto was terrific. Only think I would say about the fresh rolls was that it would have been great to have more mushrooms and eggplant chicharron within each of the rolls as some would be dominated by the lettuce, carrot, and cabbage.

Overall, great place in Arequipa for those needing vegetarian options. Server we had was friendly. We didn't order any drinks but they looked nice.

Would come...
