Mercado 28 Miraflores

Mercado No 28 in Miraflores is a lively food hall with a great variety of local and international dishes. The atmosphere is vibrant, and it’s a great spot to try different flavors in one place. The food quality is solid, and the staff is friendly, but be cautious when paying, double-check your charges as billing confusion can happen. Also, most places only offer QR code menus, which can be inconvenient for those without reliable internet or who prefer printed menus. Still, it’s a fun, tasty experience worth visiting. Solid four stars!

For a global traveler, this is novel concept of a food court👍👍👍👍👍. The whole place is an assortment of food stalls including drinks bars. One may choose to go around and have a peek at open kitchens 😎. BUT THE NOVELTY IS A SINGLE COLLECTIVE MENU handed to customers that serves both as an ordering sheet and as a placemat (clever👏👏👏). With so many food stalls, it’s surprising that there’s not any overlap of food listings… very well conceived indeed 👏👏👏. Tick the boxes on the menu sheet and hand to the wait…. That simple . Service is outstanding. The ladies are very amiable and so knowledgeable of the all the menus. They recommended popular and their personal choices; AND THEY CAN ADVICE WHAT MIGHT BE AMENABLE TO CHANGEs….. 😎😎😎this is truly a modern concept of 21st century casual dining…. Yet excellent choices …. THERE’S something for everyone? 🤩🤩🤩 We had a mid-afternoon snack so with shareable ANTICUCHOS…. a lovely Peruvian version BBQs and light fries of meats and ofals. ** tender, juicy, balanced seasoning and flavorful ** the heart anticuchos were excellent, one never thinks beef hearts can be prepared so tender and juicy… Wow 👏👏👏 🍹🍹🍹 The 2x1 Spritz Apertol is fantastic… refreshing drink in sweltering muggy Lima summer. SUGGESTION TO THE MANAGERS: Turn the volume of the music down! High decibels is injurious to hearing. Lower volume also makes it more pleasant to dine in this place.

I was expecting an energetic Saturday food market. However, this mercado 28 was too quiet. When i was there at about 7pm Saturday evening, only three or four groups of customers. They are not like a food hall but a restaurant with different kind of food. There are waiters taking order and serving. To be honest, the food was not bad. I like the anticucho so much. And they have discount on two aperol spritz only for 25sole.

We ordered from Cebicheria Pacifico duo Marino at 48 soles and causa a cevichada for 42 soles and the food was absolutely a shame to the Peruvian gastronomy imagine …food was so little and tasteless …. They need to improve big time …..

The food was good and the place looks nice. We had some nikkei fusion, meats and Amazonian food. All were excellent. There is more international western food than local food though. The atmosphere makes it a nice place to hangout in groups and enjoy diverse foods while having some drinks. The problems: _ This food court concept style with multiple food choices is meant to allow the customer to wander around to look at each stall/shop, have an idea of each provider and then decide and order. The point is the freedom to roam around and have a flexible choice. Unfortunately, at this place they chose to have the staff wait at the table directly with an online menu. From the beginning you're being ushered with some pressure to sit and be waited on. The staff would come to the table with too much frequency to check on orders and find more ways to assist. It feels too invasive and uncomfortable. _ The tipping culture is customary in Peru where service is generally excellent in comparison to literally the world. However, recently as payments become increasingly virtual, tips have been asked for in a too upfront manner that feels a lot like pressure. It is not different at this place where frequent interruptions are considered good service. It just feels forced, if anything customers should be left the voluntary choice to provide a tip or not rather than being asked for one.

Super fun market but rather than most markets where you have to split up and order at the different vendors, it’s all centralized with the staff coming to you for one order. On top of this, we were there at night and there was live music and you could tell it was a popular spot

Nice concept where you can order from different food stands (about 10 different) to your table. You get a QR code to all menus and need to order from the waiter, but can freely roam and ask the food stands questions. Went at night and atmosphere was really good, packed with people and live music. Food is ok, Italian one was really medium - won’t recommend it.

It’s a great concept with some great food including Peruvian, Amazonian, sushi, poke bowls, burgers, kebabs etc. I think it’d be better if the wait staff didn’t come and get your order for the food but if they really let people roam around and pay for their food directly from the stalls. In my opinion, it’d be way more immersive and fun that way, giving you the opportunity to really eye out the food you want. The wait staff could then be tasked with just keeping track of drinks.
