El Hornero Premium — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

El Hornero Premium – San Isidro, Lima, Peru

In the heart of San Isidro—the polished business district where Lima’s power brokers lunch and linger—there’s a steakhouse that feels more like a temple to the gods of fire and flesh. El Hornero Premium doesn’t whisper for attention… it announces itself with the smell of searing beef that hits you the second you walk through the door.

The place hums with energy. Families in their Sunday best. Executives cutting deals over Malbec. Waiters in crisp white shirts weaving through the chaos with quiet precision. The décor leans classic Latin steakhouse—heavy wood, chandeliers, and the kind of old-world warmth that makes you feel like time slows down the moment you sit.

Even when every table is full—and it often is—the service stays sharp, composed, and genuinely kind. No pretense. Just professionals who know their craft.

Start with the chorizo. Juicy, rustic, unapologetic. Then maybe the mushrooms in that creamy, herby sauce bubbling in its own cauldron like a spell for indulgence. But the main event, the reason you come here, is the steak.

This is some of the best beef you’ll find in Peru—most of it imported from Argentina or the U.S.—and it shows. Perfect char on the outside, tender and buttery within. Each cut cooked with reverence for the flame. The sauce? A sinful mushroom reduction that’s rich enough to make a priest blush.

It’s not cheap, but it’s not supposed to be. El Hornero Premium is the kind of place where you come to celebrate life’s wins—or to remind yourself that you’re still living one worth celebrating.

Verdict: 🔥 The San Isidro flagship of meat and mastery. Pricey, yes—but worth every sol. Come hungry....

Overall, this establishment is pretty good. Great location, comfortable surroundings, and ambiance. Good quality of meats, but service was not at it's best.. considering they had plenty of waiters and it was not that busy last Saturday ( Dec. 8th 2018 ). The afore-mentioned were not efficiet enough in bringing minor items such as butter, etc. The reason why I am taking the time to be explicit about the details; is merely because I would not want the readers to think I am being biased and perhaps the items ordered had to be cooked and they were out of the control of their waiters. But other than that, like I mentioned in the beginning, it was a very nice experience. And this facility has a parking facility adjacent to the restaurant itself. Since "El Hornero" seems to be a franchise, I would like to recommend the location on Rivera Navarrete 798, San Isidro. Be careful, because there is also another " El Hornero " in the same District and just a couple of minutes away from this one; but it is located on: Ave. Dos de Mayo. Parking is not as accomodating as " El Hornero Premium " and from my previous experience there, service was not extraordinary at the...

Ayer por mi cumpleaños fuimos a comer, donde unos amigos me dieron mi regalo y por la hora (medianoche) tuvimos que salir apurados porque nos iban a cerrar el estacionamiento, y me olvidé mi regalo debajo de la mesa. El dia de hoy llamé 9:30am, me contestó una mujer, le explico y simplemente me colgó. Intenté llamar hasta las 10am y me contestaban y colgaban. Decidí ir al local antes que pueda perderse el regalo e ir a hablar directamente, y ahí varios cociberos y mozos me escucharon cuando ingresaban, pero al no ser personal de salon, no sabían nada, en donde volví a llamar estando afuera, parado frente a la mesa donde estuvimos, viendo mi regalo, y me contesta la misma mujer, diciendome que no hay nada, que en todo caso regrese cuando hayan abierto, pero aun diciendole que estoy afuera viendo mi regalo, insistía que no habia nada, y que yo ya me lo había llevado. Hasta el descaro de decirme que no hay nadie en el local y que nadie tiene acceso al salón, mientras yo veía como yendían manteles, acomodaban las mesas, y solo le dije que por favor, baje un rato al salón y vea, pero se negó y dijo que si no iba a hacer ninguna reserva, simplemente regrese 11:30am cuando abran. Ya resignado me iba a retirar, pero un mozo paso cerca mio y le hablé, donde fue inmediatamente por el paquete, lo reportó y en un rato me lo entregaron.

Simplemente, lo bueno que tiene este restaurant, es la comida, su personal de salon y cocina, pero al parecer la administración y/o personal de oficina (o hasta gerencia), ven a la gente como clientes solo cuandi hay dinero de por medio. Luego que pagaste, eres basura.

Y si era mis documentos, billetera, celular o algo mas valioso que necesite recuperar lo antes posible? Simplemente ni les importa y es "total, ya pagaste y no me importas". Muy lamentable que pase estas cosas en un lugar tan "premium" pues hasta en un restaurante de menu tienen mejores valores y tratan mejor a la gente, sean clientes, ex clientes o futuros clientes.

Eso si, reitero, el mozo, cocineros y personal de atención que me atendieron, escucharon y ayudaron hoy, que dios los bendiga y se merecen lo mejor, pero los de administración y a los de "oficina", muy...
