Why go
A Barranco taberna that trades molecular gastronomy for generous portions of nostalgia-driven Peruvian comfort food—zesty tiradito, rocoto ceviche, and caigua in fat-licked broth—served in a whitewashed room where the piano eventually gets going and diners sometimes can't help rising to their feet. Book Thursday through Saturday dinner for the full energy, or come for Sunday lunch if you prefer a quieter experience.
