If you’re looking for a place that captures the flavor and spirit of traditional Peruvian cooking with a contemporary twist, El Bodegón in Miraflores hits all the right notes. Our dinner here was outstanding—each dish felt like a love letter to Peru’s rich culinary heritage. We sampled a range of classics, and every plate exceeded expectations: • Causa Limeña Perfectly chilled layers of creamy chicken salad, avocado, and seasoned yellow potato, finished with egg and drizzled with huancaína sauce. Balanced, fresh, and a great way to start. • Tallarines Verdes con Chicharrón de Cerdo A comforting, flavorful dish. The pesto-style noodles were rich and vibrant, and the pork belly—crispy on the outside and tender inside—tied everything together beautifully. • Lomo Saltado A highlight of the night. The beef was juicy and seared just right, served over golden fries and soaked in a savory sauce. Paired with fluffy white rice, it was everything you’d want from this iconic dish. We also enjoyed a few drinks from the bar: • Two kinds of Pisco Sour (classic and maracuyá) • A refreshing gin-based cocktail with lime
All three were vibrant, well-balanced, and served chilled to perfection. The pisco sours had that essential frothy top with the right citrus-acidity ratio, while the maracuyá added a tropical kick. The ambiance feels like an old-school tavern, warm and full of life. • The service was professional, attentive, and very helpful when choosing dishes. • Tables are cozy, and the vibe is perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a relaxed date night.

Read moreEl Bodegón feels like walking into someone’s family home for Sunday dinner. The walls are lined with vintage photos of Lima and bold typography art, not in a curated, modern sense, but in a way that feels lived-in and layered with meaning. It’s nostalgic, welcoming, and full of heart.
The spinach and ricotta ravioli with osso buco sauce was a knockout. It was rich, but light, deeply flavorful, and comforting in every way. It’s the kind of dish that doesn’t need explanation. You take one bite, and you just get it. Big flavors, big portions, and zero pretense.
The ceviche was bright, fresh, and balanced, the perfect contrast to the pasta and the chocolate cake was dense, rich, and indulgent in the best, most nostalgic way.
This was my second meal at a Gastón Acurio restaurant in Lima, we also ate at Astrid y Gastón, which was phenomenal in its own right. Totally different experience, but both reflect what makes Acurio’s concepts so special: heart, creativity, and a deep respect for food that brings people together. He doesn’t miss.
El Bodegón isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a hug disguised as a meal....
