Yakumanka, amb Gastón Acurio on Postcard

"Gastón Acurio is a global ambassador of Peruvian cuisine and his Barcelona joint doesn’t disappoint. Expect great food in a laid-back atmosphere and a range of Peru’s best dishes. Acurio’s ceviches, piqueos, wok-cooked rice-and-fish options are delicious, authentic and best paired with a pisco sour."

"Chef-owner Gastón Acurio is Peru’s most famous culinary ambassador, and arguably the driving force behind the world’s sudden obsession with Peruvian ceviche. Yakumanka is inspired by Acurio’s internationally successful La Mar concept, and the menu here features some of that restaurant’s best ceviches, including Carretillero made with mussels, shrimp, crab, and tiger milk (a citrus-based marinade) and apaltado with avocado and grilled octopus." - Isabel Conde

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.

Everything was boring and mediocre. Nothing was worth the 100 Euros we left behind for 2 people for 2 cocktails (i have when they don't fill up the glasses) and 3 boring dishes. You can get much better dishes in Barcelona for this cuenta

The food was great, but the service was incredibly slow, especially considering we were one of only three tables there. We waited 50 minutes for our main dishes, which made the experience so unpleasant! If it wasn’t for the service I’d give this 5 stars.

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
