Siete Restaurante

This was the BEST RESTAURANT I ate while I was in Lima, Peru. The food was Michelin star level quality. The prawn in brown butter sauce was OMG best thing I had in a long time. Now this place is pricey but this meal back in the US would have been $100 dollars for one person. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place.

Wow. Totally blown away by this place. Absolutely delicious from start to finish. I had two small fish dishes, a tuna crudo and another on special, and what was maybe the best Cacio e Pepe of my life (random, I know). The cheesecake lives up to its reputation, and I couldn’t leave without also trying the chocolate torte which was even more delicious, in this chocolate lover’s opinion. An absolutely dreamy meal.

Visited Siete twice during my trip to Lima: for brunch. The menu is the same for brunch or dinner. Sophisticated yet accessible dishes done superbly well. Probably the best ceviche I had in Peru. The navajas, the shrimp, the fish cheeks, the pasta dishes and the mains were delicious. Loved that plates were small, meant for sharing and I was able to try a lot of them. Place was packed, with great vibes in a busy street. Don’t miss it!

A truly incredible meal. Highly recommend the fish cheeks and the chocolate salted caramel tart. Fig salad was sensational too. Service and ambiance were lovely. A must visit in Lima for a fantastic meal at a very fair price.

Food, service and ambience were all lovely Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a place with quality ingredients and different menu items than your typical restaurant Absolutely loved the razor clams, simple yet delicious! Would’ve ordered a second round Soy-mirin tuna was beautiful! However, I do wish the plate didn’t have the water droplets all around Fig salad was super refreshing and felt very Mediterranean, very generous portion and the vinaigrette was perfect Fish cheeks, a must try! If you’ve never had fish cheeks, this would be the perfect place to have them And we had to finish with a desert of course Miso and coconut banana bread - flawless. The balance of flavours worked superbly together. Will come back for sure!

A TRAVELING FOODIE’S DELIGHTFUL LUNCHEON 🤩🤩🤩 at a chic bistro in a hip neighborhood of the Barranco Borough of Lima. ***We’ve learned of their reputation as an upscale establishment that qualifies as a true fusion cuisine, combining traditional Peruvian with infusion of Nikkei, Mediterranean, Castilian and Chinese / IndoChinese. *** Indeed, the very short and sweet menu 😎😎😎 does state the unique fusions, sign of a very creative chef. With such menu, it’s wonderfully easy to create one’s tasting and shareable dining 👏👏👏. 🤩 Fig Salad ::: a refreshing medley of crisp greens, pistachios and figs, married together by a purée of quince! 🤩 Crudo of Dover sole and Octopus::: a simple yet elegant take on the Peruvian ceviche. The inclusion of Altamado corn tempers the curing of citrus and onions… it is so very subdued in tartness… WOW 🤩 Tortilla Vaga::: a unique take on a fish empanada served on a sizzling skillet with a very mild Sichuan-style escabeche sauce…. WOW 🤩 Sweetbreads with Umeboshi::: a lovely hearty braise of veal sweetbreads, surprisingly balanced and brightened with Japanese plums…. our favorite of the day😊😊😊 🤩 Miso and Coconut Banana Bread::: the lowly banana bread uplifted by the flavors of Miso and coconut. The lightness of the quenelle of ice cream balances the denseness of the bread👍👍👍 🤩 Lucuma Alfajor:: Classic Castilian alfajor with a creamy unadulterated mousse of the exotic Peruvian Lucuma….. luscious with SURPRISING finesse of a Parisienne patisserie👏👏👏👏👏 😎 There’s a nice and similarly short Cocktails menu. Service is outstanding👍👍👍👍👍. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to the casual diner and to foodies!!!

Best seafood meal we had in Lima. Restaurant was packed. Space is small with lots of table. They have indoor and outdoor sitting. You can also sit in the bar. Service was spot on. We ate almost everything they had. Chef Martins was nice enough to have a photo with us. Reservation is necessary. It was worth a visit.

This is going to be hard to write… The only reason that Siete is getting 2 stars instead of 1 star is because of the service which was just fine. At the recommendation of a local, I made a reservation at Siete for their tasting menu. I wish I hadn’t. Turns out, there is no tasting menu. It really is the chef choosing 6 menu dishes (forgot to take a picture of one) and serving it. I know because the bill was itemized. Unfortunately, because I was so mad about the meal, I didn’t take a picture of it to show what I ate. The scallop ceviche was good, the salad was fine. The next dish (no picture) was fish over a fritada with a red sauce served in cast iron pan was pretty bad or at best not good. The 4th dish which looks like poop was pork (I think) and tasted like poop; not literally, simply outright BAD. I had one bite, forced a second, and then was done. The 5th dish was fish with tamale in the pepper. It wasn’t good. I think the last dish was flan. Same, it wasn’t terrible, just not good. This was my second worst experience in Lima, but it was by far the worst value. The worst place cost me a third of this. If I had known they were charging me per dish I would have walked out after the poop dish. The local who recommended this restaurant is no longer my friend.
