Yakumanka, amb Gastón Acurio

Absolutely in LOVE with the vegetarian dish I had here, pictured in the attached photos. Definitely recommend even if Peruvian cuisine might be something you don’t normally like, as a Slavic person I can say that this was a pleasant surprise. A must visit, and don’t forget to try their traditional cocktail as well. 😍

The food is mostly good! Some dishes are way better than others, see my pics and emojis. However neither the food, service nor the atmosphere justifies elevated prices. Therefore 4 stars. Don't get me wrong, I would and will come back for the food, now I know what to order. The Maracuja cheesecake was exceptional.

Great food and a lovely setting. We enjoyed the mixed ceviche, the empanadas, and the cauliflower (my favorite) were a hit. The scallops were okayish (while beautifully presented, I wasn’t a big fan of the foam cheese as it took away from the flavors and made them colder). The deserts (très leches and chocolate cake) were just fine.

Hands down the best Peruvian restaurant in Barcelona. Every dish I have had here reflects flavors that are close to Peruvian culture. After all I was introduced to this restaurant by a Peruvian national who was a restaurant owner himself. When in Barcelona it's a must try. Also, don't forget their drinks, their Pisco sour is a must have.

Yakumanka by Gastón Acurio is my favorite restaurant in Barcelona! The food is simply outstanding, with authentic Peruvian flavors and impeccable presentation. The service is amazing, and the employees are warm, attentive, and professional. The vibrant atmosphere makes every visit special. A must-visit for anyone seeking a truly exceptional dining experience!

Nice Peruvian restaurant. Had lots of people recommending it to me, and it wasn't as spectacular as they'd all said, but still good. Cerviches is a bit of a favourite of mine, so 2 of those were ordered, 1 excellent, 1 not so. The main 'special' was just chicken and chips as far as im concerned, rather like nando's. So really, it's a little overpriced and not bad.

So I always like to start with the positive. The food is 100% delicious 🤤 I highly recommend going, your taste buds will thank you. Be ready to spend some money if you want to try an assortment of dishes. We were 4 ppl and decided to share everything so we didn’t have to limit our ordering. You cannot go wrong with their ceviche. The clásico and Nikkei were perfection. Freshest seafood and fresh ingredients. Chucuito!!!! I could have licked the plate clean, the scallop emulsion was beyond 😋 there was nothing we ate that wasn’t well thought out, nicely plated and most important…delicious 🍽️ I wanted so badly to give them 5 starts, really the food alone deserves it. However, our waitress was so rude. The venue apparently has the 2 hour max table reservation, which to start with is so anti the Spanish culture of enjoying the experience, but if you are going to have this policy you need to train your staff to properly/professionally handle paying customers. 30 mins before the end of our two hours we were told we would need to leave soon. My friend tried to explain politely that we were out trying to enjoy our first team outting so could we be sat anywhere else, like the bar, to enjoy more drinks and dessert. Instead of the waitress handling it professionally we were told “you knew the 2 hour limit when booking, this is why we tell ppl to order all at once and not with space between appetizers and the main dishes, etc” once the tone was delivered it became frustrating that there was just no compromising like shoving us at a 2 seater just to continue spending money and enjoying our team dinner. We were also not convinced that on a Tuesday evening that our table was going to be filled at 10 on the dot. We decided to order our main dishes at 21:35, once again the waitress had to remind us to eat fast if we were going to put in the order. We took our time, if she was going to be rude then we decided to enjoy our paid for meal. What happened? the waitress lost complete paciencia with us and so another one covered us for the rest of the evening, she was lovely and professional. We appreciated the kindness even though by then it was clear we were not going to stand for being thrown out after spending 300 Euro! Needless to say 3 tables cleared around us and not a single one was reoccupied before we left at 22:45h. I don’t understand that type of approach with customer service. It was such tasty food, comfortable venue and the continual reminders to leave really tainted the experience. 5 stars for the food…I’m trying to end on a positive note.

Expensive but worth it. Several exotic ceviches and tiraditos that I haven't seen before. Anticucho beef heart is very filling because they give you a lot of potatoes and corn. I usually order just a ceviche and the beef heart for 2 people. Many nice seats at the bar Nice cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks
