El Celler de Cler Restaurant — Restaurant in Trujillo

Me and my wife visited this restaurant in late August 2025. The restaurant is very charming with a tasteful interior design. You feel very comfortable here as soon as you enter. The service is extremely attentive and very friendly, which definitely adds to the pleasant atmosphere. The food was superb. I had one of the best steaks I have ever tasted yet. The salsa "Huacatay" was delicious as well. Additionally you get two extra spicy salsas that pair perfectly with the main sauce. My wife had a pasta and it was perfect as well. Obviously the prices here are higher than in most other places in town. Considering the quality of food and the excellent preparation this appears absolutely justified. However, what bugged me were the prices for drinks. A small Cusqueña beer costs 15 Soles, which is just silly in my opinion. The wine appears to be a bit more reasonable, but you are still going to pay 90 Soles for a wine that costs 45 in the supermarket. I also did not appreciate that the waiter actively asked me, if I want to give a tip - this is just not common in Peru, but I guess here they have adapted to European/North American customers. So if you have a few more Soles to spare, definitely try this place - the food...

Excellent restaurant, nice atmosphere, professional service, very good menu, food is delicious.

Can highly recommend if you want to spend a little more as it meets my expectations and exceeds them.

Atmosphere. Very nice Went on a quiet night, the atmosphere was nice, the balcony was very pleasant, sometimes the traffic might honk the horns, be sure to sit out of any breeze if you feel the cold. We sat on the alcony. We were able to talk and share conversation. Inside is very cosy, with space between tables.

Food Excellent, rich flavours. Entrada. Cebechi de lomo entrada was amazing with a mid spice. Came recommend and excellent to share between two. Mains. Fettuccine de Pollo, very good flavour and well presented. Lomo en Salsa Champin̈ones, larger meal, recommend. Both meals were very good. Dessert. Panqueque Manzana. Fantastic way to finish a meal. I was full and worried the dessert would be too much. Shared the dessert and was wonderful.

Service. Very professional service, Erika was obvitrainend professionally, and understood the menu well, able to describe the items on the menu well. Very friendly but also not overwhelming. Made us feel very valued.

4 cocktails, 1 entree, 2 mains, 1...

My husband and I were looking for a change of pace after 10 days of traditional Peruvian cuisine. This restaurant checked all our boxes. We sat in the terrace which reminded us of the wraparound terraces in New Orleans. Our server, Mirco, made suggestions for our entire menu. We started with cocktails and the cebiche rojo which was a tender beef tenderloin ceviche. Absolutely scrumptious. For our mains, we shared the pisco flambeed beef tenderloin (lomo fino flambeado al pisco) with snow peas, broccoli and crispy roasted potatoes and the beef tenderloin with a huacatay cream sauce and crisp potatoes, a cross between a tater tot and a crispy hashbrown (lomo fino en salsa huacatay). The beef was so tender and delicious. We live in NYC and you can't get beef tenderloin like this unless you go to a top steakhouse, but it would cost 3-4X. For our dessert, we had the apple crepes. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a gem. The service and atmosphere...
