Rafael - Review - Miraflores - Lima - The Infatuation

"Rafael Osterling’s fancy fine dining spot, now guided by Rodrigo Alzamora, has refreshed the space, slimmed down the menu, and added natural Peruvian wines, while keeping the untouchable mainstays: the rich Piemontese duck pasta laced with Pinot Grigio and pecorino, roasted corn ravioli, and grilled scallops. Their superpower? Nearly everything is made in-house—from the bread that opens the meal to the tomato chutney and fresh pastas. Mediterranean, Asian, and Peruvian influences weave through the menu, like the seasonal marmita of fabes and clams with housemade morcilla, or the Thai mushroom curry with wok-fried rice. Old Lima mingles with contemporary art on the walls of a restored mansion from the 1900s, creating a mood that invites lingering sobremesas—after-dinner conversation—over a couple of perfectly balanced Negronis.

"It’s hard to believe master chef Rafael Osterling was a lawyer before he chose to study at the Cordon Bleu. But be glad he did, because Lima’s food scene wouldn’t be the same without him. Rafael uses native ingredients, yet adapts them to influences from Asia, Italy, and to Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei cuisine, creating a menu as delicious as it is eclectic. Seafood delights such as grilled octopus with chimichurri, or scallops with flying-fish roe in Amazon chilies, abound. The chef also works his modern sensibilities on traditional arroz con pato (duck cooked in black beer with herbed rice), lamb shank with honey and spices, and crispy suckling pig."

"This much-loved restaurant keeps getting better after 18 years of operation, and you’ll often find it packed even on Monday nights. That success is based on a combination of lively ambience and incredibly pleasurable dishes. Chef-owner Rafael Osterling imbues dishes with inspiration from his worldly travels while celebrating Peruvian flavors and produce. Meanwhile, head chef Rodrigo Alzamora gets credit for exacting technique and quality ingredients. The menu offers subtlety in the crab ravioli, lavishness in the spaghetti with duck, and excitement in the tuna tiradito, the grilled scallops with lemon butter, and the sea urchin rice with leche de tigre. Be sure to stop by the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail too. [$$$$]" - Liliana López Sorzano

Rafael delivers on service, ambiance, and cocktails, the lighting and music set the tone perfectly. Food is good but feels overpriced compared to Mayta, and it doesn’t spark the same excitement. Still, desserts are excellent and the overall experience is polished and enjoyable

The food, referring to the taste was good in general, no complaints on that part, but the wait between the plates was too long. In top of that you must now that you will have to order multiple courses to be satisfied, because the portions are quite small so go with time. About the prices, in my opinion, they have great plates which deserve the high cost, but there’s others that are quite average, not worth it.

A must visit spot with a great ambiance. This definitely feels like fine dining! Warm fresh bread to start and a great drinks list. A small food menu but all worth trying. The scallops are a must and a signature dish. Loved the special of the Crudo and then steak main.

We stopped by and so glad we did! Juan was incredible. He created all of the cocktail recipes and they were amazing. He was so kind and showed us the beauty of pisco! Joaquin was very helpful and attentive as well. I wish we lived closer to this place, I would be there every day if I could!

My visit to Rafael was full of great expectations as in all the new places I visit to eat. Reviews of Rafael are positive and negatives, and should be taken understanding that you are going to a Chefs restaurant, you are going to taste and eat food that has been meticulously created for a select type of patrons. Understanding this, I may say that Chef Rafael and his restaurant have accomplished something rare, exquisite and different that you usually do not see in fine dining in Peru. The food, his team, carefulness and little details are top notch. I highly recommend this place for connoisseurs, it’s expensive but it’s great.

We had a very bad experience on our recent visit to this restaurant. The bartenders were scammers, there is no way of saying it any other way. After finding out that there drinks on the menu are pre-batched we decided to have regular cocktails; Old-Fashioned and Negroni. We also had two Boullevardier cocktails. What they didn’t say was that the drinks were more than double from what’s on the menu and an up charge for every single alcohol they used; 95 Soles for a drink? Really? When your drinks on the menu are like 45 soles. And you know what, it’s not the price that bothers me, it’s the not disclosing that there is an up charge for every drink we had. Very disingenuous on their part. Here I have a pic of my receipt and a screenshot of one there past cocktail menus for comparison. We also did not understand why they waited to sit us at one of the tables for 2, when they were all available. We ended up staying at the bar, but that shouldn’t have been the case if the tables are available, right? In the end, very disappointed with the restaurant, we’ve been there in the past and had better experiences, but this was not one of them. Be aware of the bartenders and their dirty little tricks.

Very delicious!! Tuna steak was phenomenal and the lamb birria was top-notch. We recommend ordering the maracuya juice. The bread basket was good. For dessert we got the pistachio-almond with fig ice cream—it was good.
