"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."

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.

I recently dined at Rafael, and it was a fantastic experience. The ambiance was upscale yet welcoming, with beautiful touches of classic decor. The seafood stole the show—fresh ceviche, octopus, and sea urchin cocktail, with a perfect balance, making each bite a delight. The Pisco Sour was a must-try, smooth and perfectly balanced. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. If you’re a seafood lover looking for an elegant night out, Rafael is a top choice!

I’ve been in Peru for two weeks trying to find the best food, and who knew that I would find it just a few blocks away from my hotel. Rafael was a revelation, made complete by the incredible service from Ale and Jolu who knew the menu for both cocktails and food like the back of their hand and recommended me the most delicious meal I’ve had in the country. They truly made the experience personal. The art, music, ambiance, and most importantly staff made it feel like home. Chef Giancarlo is one of the best!

We ordered scallops, octopus, and ceviche as starters. The octopus was excellent, but the other two dishes were just so-so. For my main course, I had the Bombay fish, and I also tried the other fish dishes. While all the dishes tasted good, they were quite one-dimensional and lacked complexity. When you pay a premium, you expect more depth of flavor. Additionally, the environment was a bit too crowded and noisy for my liking. The service was okay, but the waitstaffs were not very attentive; I had to make several attempts to catch their eye.

The worst meal I had so far after 2 weeks in Peru. The service was not great; the waiter just dropped off the drink menu and didn’t come back with the main menu for 10 minutes. We had to ask the bartender to place our drink order and mains. They automatically charge you 15/soles per person for bread without telling you. We ordered the scallops, which were delicious and buttery, and the grouper steak. The grouper steak was very fishy and was definitely frozen. Would not recommend.
