Restaurante Fitzcarraldo

The traditional grilled fish at this restaurant was very tasty for lunch. The server guided me through the menu and pointed out what he thought I would like. Pro tip: there is a back room with air conditioning that was comfortable to sit in on a hot afternoon in Iquitos

Update: returned a few days later and had a quick lunch of the Hamburguesa Vegana, fries and fresh coconut water which I really needed for the electrolytes. DELICIOUS meal. Previous: The online menus didn't reflect the page of Vegan plates offered. Was excited to see. Had the Gazpacho Amizonas: a lovely cold soup for a pleasant evening at the sidewalk table. Not spicy but quite thick and creamy. Home made on the spot. The mushroom dish is an explosion of acidic flavors: lime, onion and vinegar to infuse the mushroom, yucca and (unexpected surprise) a soft sweet yam. This is the one to order after a day of heavy hiking in la selva: electrolytes abound in the lime, sodium will be replenished by the salt, vitamin C in the onions will help protect you from colds and the vinegar will enable gut flora abundance. 🩵 The restaurant inside is beautiful with its dark pink colors and overgrown plants, just like in the titular film. I was hoping for a big fruit salad as seen on the menu, but they were out 😭. The fresh piña juice made up for it.

A restaurant by the shore. It seems to a restaurant that attracts more tourists rather than locals. The food was okay. I had the pizza and a piscina sour. The drink was really nice. The burger looked extremely delicious. Their wifi did not work at all. It just kept loading without anything happening, which was a shame. The staff was nice but our waitress seemed new. She couldn’t recommend specific meals or their juices.

Even with my broken Spanish I was able to order a beer, tortilla, and grilled fish. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. Waiter was so accommodating. Glad I gave them a try. They could turn up the AC some more.

Lovely corner restaurant with an amazing view of the Itaya river. We've ordered at least 6 different dishes from this restaurant and it has never disappointed. We kept coming back at least 3 times before leaving Iquitos. Would highly recommend trying their seasonal fruit juices and their Patarashca.

We got a really bad experience at this place, the manager was a completely jerk with us tonight, we got to the same place yesterday night no issues at all but tonight Sunday the place inside was completely empty, we just got to the table and a waitress got our orden but of out the sudden he came back and told us that we couldn’t stay inside cause we’ve been told the we needed to expend a higher amount of money to be able to drink inside, which was out of proportion !!!

We came here for lunch and the Ac was heavenly. I had the Ceviche and the Mango and passion fruit milkshake. So yummy. Service was great and even got a massage from Sofia during it.

the location on malecon is nice, food is decent (had a burger) but what drives me crazy and the reason i gave 2 stars is they give you crap quality salsas/condiments in the tiny packages. this is ridiculous and inexcusable especially in an amazonian river city that already suffers from such bad plastic pollution problems. if the owner reads this, please start giving some decent condiments out of respect for the environment and also to show respect to the quality of your food and not ruin it with cheap and toxic condiments.
