Run, don’t walk, to Isidro!! This place is pure magic — from the warm, crusty bread to the melt-in-your-mouth meats, every bite is perfection. The aesthetic is beautiful, but what truly makes Isidro shine is the heart behind it. It’s a family-owned gem where you’re not just a customer, you’re part of something special.
I spent a month in Arequipa, and no spot made me feel more at home. Santiago, one of the owners, recognized me out on the street one day and offered help beyond the restaurant. His lovely sister always waited on me with such warmth — from giving me local recommendations to helping me make friends when I first arrived. That’s the kind of kindness you don’t forget.
Weekend brunch here is a dream, so gather your friends and treat yourselves. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your return.
(Posting many pics of their incredible food because, clearly, I’ve been a very happy regular 😂 Next time I’m in Arequipa, I’ll be back!!)
