La Basilica 640 — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

The decoration of the place is very nice, the seating is good, with space for diners to enjoy a conversation but because they were taping a podcast in the second level, they turned off the music for the whole venue. The music initially was at a reasonable level - not loudly intrusive nor hushed - we liked it, but the unexpected silence did make it feel a bit awkward in the middle of our stay as the admins were having a little meeting in a corner, we thought the venue was closing and we needed to leave, though nobody kicked us out, we rushed a bit through our meal before one of the staff told us they were taping a podcast upstairs. Maybe just a coincidence, I would come back another day to re experience the place. The food was very good, local food with a twist. Imaginative and out of common. Good...

It's okay. After doing a research of "theme" restaurants, we thought the concept of this restaurant was pretty cool. We booked our lunch which was pretty straight forward to make. We ordered the milanesa with the vodka sauce, the Lomo saltado and the ceviche. Unfortunately, the milanesa and the Lomo saltado were served cold. The pasta sauce was missing something so it was not eaten. I had the ceviche, and it was good and fresh. You can see that this place was once an elegant and attractive place to eat, and again, the concept is pretty cool, but it needs a major investment in recovering the infrastructure and more details and finesse in the cooking...

Great time ! Great drinks ! Came on a Wednesday night at it was so much fun. Somewhat of a ladies night but there were plenty of guys there and they had a great time. Definitely recommend I had the Cuba libre (Havana club) with Coke Zero. We also had wings, tequeños and chicken tenders with fries. All great options Owner was there. Super nice and attentive Staff was helpful and friendly Looking forward to coming back...
