Restaurant Huaca Pucllana

I’ve been here twice and both times the experience was similar - palatable food, mediocre to poor service, all in a beautiful setting. The second time I came was to bring my daughter because the atmosphere is amazing. Next time, we will go on the tour (which is well worth it) and simply slip into the restaurant for a picture. The food is generally not that good, edible, but not terrible… and very expensive for the quality. The service was inattentive both times. The last time, we asked for the space heater to be turned on. The server turned it on and it went off (maybe out of gas). I asked again for him to turn it on, it didn’t go on and he just quit working on it, nor did he bring another one over to replace the one that wouldn’t turn on. Both times I remember looking around for at least 5 minutes for someone, anyone to bring me a check. It also took several minutes to find someone to bring me a spoon for my stew. It’s amazing how hard it is to find a server given how many there are around and we sat at 5:30 PM so the restaurant was less than 1/4 full. But the setting is picturesque, especially with Huaca Pucllana lit up at night. Without tip or any alcohol, the pictured meal cost over PEN 300!

A must do in Lima ! If you want a delicious lunch or dinner while enjoying a historic site in the Peruvian history, that is your place ! We had lunch on the monument. Their food was delicious. I recommend trying their Peruvian specialities. I definitely advise you to try !

Huaca Pucllana is a restaurant you absolutely must visit while in Lima. The setting is incredible, with a museum and ruins nearby that give you breathtaking scenery while you dine. The food is nothing short of spectacular — honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying. Some highlights for me were the risotto with duck, the empanadas, and the quinoa bowls, which were the best I’ve ever had. The Pisco Sour was also outstanding, probably one of the best I’ve ever tasted, perfectly balanced and refreshing. On top of that, the service was excellent, making the experience even better. We were lucky enough to enjoy this spot as part of a food tour called Lima Gourmet, and it truly made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend Huaca Pucllana for an authentic and memorable dining experience in Lima!

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.

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?

Absolutely amazing place! The views, the food, the service — everything surpassed our expectations! We had an amazing meal, and experience! Highly recommend this place!

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.
