MATRIA RESTAURANTE

The food is good, fairly innovative actually, and its a good place to share dishes. But its also expensive so quality needs to be like this… poor wine list. Sad that this place has 0 ambience, music is loud and kind of does not fit. Terrace is not inviting. Inside is kind of dark and for that hour of day there were basically no people. Staff too complicated which probably not their fault… For a place of this price should be more flexible in order taking... Don’t think i will return.

This was our last meal in Peru. We ordered just three dishes—and loved every one of them!

Great place to dine in. Food, service are excellent. We went there at a Friday night, due to national holiday the place is less crowded than most of the time. All sea food plates we ordered are delicious. The small bread is extraordinary, it’s made from a kind of purple potato, tastes a hint of sweetness, combined with house made flavored butter, no one can resist!

Delicious Spanish-inspired Peruvian food with heavy seafood focus. Great ambiance and cool interior. Fantastic service by our server Enrique. Their mussels special and burnt cheesecake tart were 10/10 dishes that stand out in months of travel. Would love to return to try everything.

Tried their "Menu Degus" and left disapointed, i almost didn't like any of dishes and none of them impress me. It feels more like a test menu in newly opened restaurant. Maybe la carte dishes are better here, but i wouldn't go to try again when there are so much choices in Lima.

We went to Matria in Lima, Peru, for an early dinner, mainly because of its owner and chef, Arlette Eulert Checa. Unfortunately, she wasn’t there and we were told she was at another location (maybe a new restaurant?). The staff were friendly, but the food was a letdown. Two people ordered the same dish and were disappointed the meat was dry. The salad had almost no flavor. I ordered the seafood soup, which barely had any seafood in it and honestly didn’t feel like a proper soup. For the reputation of the chef and the prices, I expected much better. To top it off, a young kid at the table next to us actually took his plate outside to check it in daylight because he thought he saw something moving in it. We let the servers know about these issues, but unless they make some urgent improvements, I think they’ll lose customers fast. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience and not what I was hoping for. I’ll give a 4 star just not to damage their reputation too much but I will not be going back.

We came here for dinner the other day and we had overall a good experience. Although the menu is not very extensive, has many interesting items. What we ordered it was spot on. The meat and the mashed potato were amazing. What impressed us were the cocktails. Not only nice decorated but also they had a good amount of alcohol in them. I decided to give 4 stars and not give for the service. Our server was hard to come by and not particularly busy. In fact we got a better communication from another server who was very busy but was able to help us out, as we were waiting for a while now. To be honest if was not for this other server the service would have been much worst. If you share in my luck, then come prepared with patience, the food is worth the wait.

Delicious food! We had the Ossobuco and it was all we were dreaming about. Cute little restaurant! I would definitely be back.
