Perfect restaurant to try many of the great peruvian specialities. The theme of the restaurant is north peruvian. Great service! The dinner started with a leche the tigre on the house. :)

I was led there by my host. It's not in a glamorous part of Lima but the food was good. It was Peruvian and the price was good as well.

I have been thinking about the food that I experienced at Don Fernando's some 8 months ago and had the chance to relive the experience on Sunday. My memory served me well, the food is outstanding, wine selection impeccable. The staff are friendly and... More
