We don't know much about Peruvian food so we stuck with the seafood at Machu Picchu. That worked out quite well. The menu is extensive, with dozens of seafood entrees and appetizers, plus some Peruvian favorites that others in our group enjoyed. Useful tip: The fish Panama menus call "corvina" is known as sea bass in North America. Yet it's... More

We were recommended to go here by our hotel. Grilled octopus was amazing, as was the ceviche. But the main courses were a disappointment. Sea bass was overcooked and bland and the lomo Saltado did not use very good meat. Overall is was an average meal and not a great value.

This is one of the better restaurants in Boquete. In the middle of town, this Peruvian restaurant specializes in fish and seafood. Try the slightly spicy calamari, or perfect seafood salad for appetizers. For main courses, there is fresh sea bass prepared in a variety of methods and try a pisco sour!

The service is pretty good, and the food is absolutely delicious. I ordered some chicken meal, and it tastes so delicious. I've been there twice in the past, and both times it was fantastic food. If you go to Boquete, you have to go to this restaurant.

GREAT Peruvian restaurant. They really know how to cook fish. Sea Bass dominates the menu. Also their Sopa de Creole is amazing. The place looks and feels real friendly and inviting too.

Restaurant is located on a quiet street off the main park, so it is easy to find. The atmosphere is really quiet which is perfect for a quiet dinner time with friends or someone special. Food is great, the menu is extensive, yet with more than 35 dishes, probably 13 or so are typical peruvian. Yet this is not Peru... More

My wife had chicken dish which she really liked. I had fish which I thought was quite ordinary. Not much excitement to the restaurant and way too expensive for lunch. The cheap lunch that is in some guidebooks was not offered. Side street view is uninspiring. Decor is dated, but there are some nice artifacts on display. Service was friendly... More
