Raw Café — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

Day 1 review - I recently visited this restaurant, hoping for a good experience based on the reviews. Unfortunately, it was far from what I expected. We had an incredibly long wait time—40 minutes just to get a smoothie, and the food took another 50 minutes to arrive.

To make things worse, when the food finally came, it was cold. When we complained, instead of preparing fresh food, they reheated the same dish in the microwave and brought it back in just 2 minutes.

Overall, it was a disappointing experience. Don’t be misled by the positive reviews—I certainly won’t be coming back.

Day 1.5 - The worst part, however, came later. Towards the evening, both my wife and I started experiencing severe stomach discomfort. Our stomachs began rumbling, and soon enough, we were both suffering from intense stomach cramps and nausea. We were completely bed-ridden for the entire next day, in the middle of our vacation, missing out on all our plans. It was incredibly frustrating and distressing to spend an entire day of our vacation recovering from food-related illness.

Needless to say, this experience ruined our trip. I strongly advise against trusting the positive reviews and visiting this restaurant. It’s not worth risking your health or...

We have been in Lima for the past 4 days, on the first day we visited Raw Cafe and was delighted by the range of options available, the delicious food and cosy atmosphere. Immediately my partner and I knew we would have to visit this place again before leaving Lima.

The food is vibrant, fresh and full of flavour. You will be thoroughly delighted weather you consume a plant based diet or not.

The inclusion of dessert options is a huge plus, weather you are looking for a smaller meal or larger meal RAW cafe has all basis covered.

They also have the inclusion of aryurvedic based meals and drinks for those following a yogic based diet/eating plan.

This is a must stop if you are visiting Lima and looking for a meal to put a pep in your step, they also have available kombucha and vegan snacks for later!

The gratis papas with pesto was a favourite of mine, adding tofu, absolutely divine! Will return in the future

Great service, great food and...

I came here 4 times and each time was a terrible experience. The staff takes forever to wait on you. Yesterday I was in and the staff after 20 minutes never waited on me we needed to go get them. Then they charged me 107 soles for a fresh bowl and Americano. When I questioned why I was charged so much they put another person's bill on mine. I met someone there. They ordered before me and we never entered together. Why they thought I wanted to pay 77$ Soles for someone else is beyond me. They never even offered to refund the card. 3 of us went back. We had fetuchunni which was flavorless and uncooked. Smoothies which were just a juice and not good. Pad thai which was not pad thai noodles and flavorless.

Worst service I have had in 5 months in Peru. The staff is the worst I have experienced.

Raw cafe...do better. Foods good. Atmosphere is nice but the food and service...
