Very disappointing experience.
I visited Cordial in Barranco as a tourist and first-time customer. The place has a nice atmosphere, but the food experience was extremely underwhelming.
I ordered a cheese board and was shocked by what I received: a large tray with only 6 tiny slices of cheese, 5 very small olives, a tiny amount of an unidentified sauce, and 4 small pieces of toast — no decoration, no variety, no explanation.
I was charged 68 soles, which felt completely unjustified for the quantity and presentation. When I asked the waiter why the portion was so small, I was told the cheeses were “exclusive and expensive,” yet this was never mentioned on the menu nor explained when ordering.
I live in the U.S. and am very familiar with what a proper cheese board should look like at this price point. This felt misleading and honestly like a joke.
I didn’t want to ruin the night and paid, but I left very disappointed. I would not recommend ordering the cheese board here, especially for tourists.
