Zingaro Restaurante — Restaurant in Arequipa

I went to this restaurant with my family to have lunch The first impressions on the venue were excellent. Everything looked nice and well taken care of. We sat inside and in our opinion, the room was too dark

We ordered a round of soft drinks and cocktails and a piqueo Arequipeño as a starter Everything was delicious, the solterito was fresh and well seasoned, the fried cheese was amazing, the pork was super tender. Only the ocopa sauce was almost tasteless

The main dishes were also very nice. I especially liked the ossobuco as the meat was super tender and juicy The rocoto relleno was well made. I didn't like the pure de oca that comes with the pork (it was just too sweet)

The server was somewhat attentive but I wwithout interrupting every time. That is something I appreciate

In my opinion the price of the soft drinks is too high and this is because I see no value on a bottled drink that can be bought in the supermarket. Instead, I appreciate a well prepared cocktail or even better, delicious food for which a cook put the ingredients together to make a memorable dish I would have liked a promo discount on cocktails like most of the local restaurants...

Loved the decor, very stylish which you don't see a lot in peru. Great service, very attentive and they spoke english really well. They have an english menu. Great food, had a delicious Alpaca steak w vegetables and potatoes, cooked just the way I asked. 1/2 litre of Sangria with strawberries and peaches, never heard of it, but it was amazing. Had a chocolate dessert called Marquis de... something, that will make every chocolate lover very happy. It was definitly a more chique restaurant than I normally go to in Peru. The service was just a lot better, they really take care of their guests. As a western european, it was really cheap for this type of restaurant as well, all in all I paid 89 soles. Back home you'd pay at least double and probably triple that price....

Lovely, cosy place with a welcoming atmosphere. We started with a classic Pisco sour and we transitonned to beer with the plates. We had the idea to eat peruvian and try something new. My wife chose the "Alpaca filet in rosemary sauce" and I chose the "Alpaca filet with smoked arequipa cheese". Both meats were cooked medium red. And we were so happily surprised. The meat is tender and so tasty. As dessert we had "Copa K-Fre" which is excellent. These choices we can recommend without hesitation. This is a place worth your attention if you happen to be in Arequipa. The service is very good. The prices are above average but not overpriced. We think it...
