Restaurant Huaca Pucllana

Everything about this place stands out and is worth all of the hype. The facility is open air yet covered and is worth 5 stars in it's own right, especially when you add being next to such a historical landmark. Food is exquisitely delicious and unrepentantly decadent. The service is classy, engaged, and very considerate. A must-try situation.

Nice place with great view. Food was nice but overly priced, although understandable based on location and service it aims to provide. Recommend a visit, specially if after the museum beside it.

Went to the restaurant for lunch. Delicious food and an excellent view of the Pachacmac ruins. On the pricey side and service tends to be a tad slow, but a perfect way to spend a leisurely afternoon. The Seabass, crab claws, and ceviche all very good. Recommended.

It’s a unique dining experience watching over the ruins. The restaurant is beautiful. My waiter was nice at the beginning and explained in great details of the dishes. But once the order was put down, he kind of disappeared and left me unattended. I called another waiter who didn’t seem to be aware of my dessert order. The food was fine. The main course was delicious but the picarones are a little disappointing. I have better elsewhere. The PEN 30+ picarones was not even as delicious as the ones I got from the street for PEN 6. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Excellent food and atmosphere. The huaca looks beautiful at night. We tried papa rellenas and mini causas they were both excellent. Lomo Saltaldo was very good as well. Great spot for dinner especially if you are visiting Lima.

Restaurant Huaca Pucllana is a large open-air restaurant in the shadow of the spectacular ancient ruins. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere, of course, was tough to beat with spectacular views of Huaca Pucllana. This is NOT tourist food, but thoughtfully prepared Peruvian cuisine. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is first class. The waitresses are very attentive, the mayordom or the man in charge is wearing a suit 👌 in the middle of this hot summer with no a/c. This is something I'll miss to see in another country, the ELEGANCE of the entire staff. Back to the food, delicious! Exquisite presentation. The beautiful Peruvian decor is just breathtaking, not even mentioning that you are taking your meals in front of an archeological site.

On a Peru trip with my daughter through Exotica Travel, we were offered a dinner at Huaca Pucllana for $100 each. One of the top restaurants in Miraflores. The restaurant was fantastic. We were dropped off near the entrance and escorted in by our guide, who took us a waiting table in main dining area. The restaurant is right beside the Huaca Pucllana Archeological Site built in 200-100 AD. You can see the site from dining room and there is a walkway below dining room for a closer look. Our guide explained that we could choose between two appetizers, two entrees and two desserts, plus water and a drink. This was disappointing since our choices were limited. I would rather have had a $100 limit then pay for anything over. Especially since this dinner was a “Taste of Peru.” Our server was excellent, guiding our choices, but we already decided we would each choose a different item so we could share. I really didn’t bring dress clothes for this, backpacking it all, but I bring pressed pants and a nice T-shirt. To start, the inevitable Pisco Sour. I think that is the Peru version of Spanish wine at every meal. We had Ceviche and little Potato Balls. Ceviche was great, Balls only fair. For our mains we had Lomo Saltado and Chilean Sea Bass. The Saltado was excellent, the Sea Bass a bit fishy. I would have loved to try the Stuffed Crayfish, must have been a much larger version than the U.S. For dessert we had a Meringue shell stuffed with pudding and a Chocolate Torte & Crumbles. Both were excellent and the Torte also came with an unknown yellow berry that was sweet and tart. In looking over the menu prices. Each of our meals were less than s/180 plus an s/40 tip suggestion or about $70. I wander if the extra went to Exotica?
