Friendly little Peruvian restaurant in the heart of Cologne. Okay maybe it seems odd to go to a…read morePeruvian restaurant but I had just got into town after a very long two days of travel. And honestly I wonders in because it was close to my hotel. I was glad I did because I found some really friendly owners (two sisters) who have been in Germany for 26 years. One of the owners felt talkative and we practiced our communications skills in my terrible Spanish and her English to the amusement of us both. I learned all about the challenges the family faced in moving to Germany and learning to modify recipes so Germans would eat it. So the food, once they learned I knew what Latin food was supposed to taste like and more importantly that I actually liked real Latin foods they decided to give me something off the menu. She said I won't like what they have on the menu because it was all designed for German tastes apparently Germans don't like things very spicy and they don't the flavors that their traditional Latin foods have or at least they don't purchase them. so the meal they made me was something she would normally make for her family. It was a kind of marinated steak and Yucca plants and other vegetables. Then she brought out what she called a chili sauce that was very hot but also very flavorful, she said Germans would never eat it and she was surprised when she saw that I liked it. The owner said most customers don't like chilis or peppers here. we enjoyed the rest of the evening I ended up staying probably two hours. Everything that they brought out was very good. I got introduced to other members of the family, I got to go back to the kitchen and made friends with everybody there. I was invited to come back and made me swear that I would return before I leave to tell them goodbye. It was really good experience and fun to be close to the people who are serving you. Normally I would not like so much interaction but being alone it was perfect. If you go in ask to order off the menu if your adventitious.

It's very true....this little, easy to miss spot is a MUST NOT MISS!…read more Beef empanadas were so good that we fought over the last bite. Arroz y Mariscos - so flavorful, so fresh, and such an amazing depth of flavor and seasoning. The crispy Peruvian bread was fantastic. Ask for the HOT chili paste, mix it with the tasty sauce they bring out with the bread for a creamy and hot spread. Staff was charming. They were working on a mural of South America on the walls. Service is in Spanish or broken English/German. Point and smile - you'll be fine!! Enjoy!

I don't know if anyone that's written a good review about this place has any idea what REAL…read morePeruvian food TASTES LIKE. I am new to town, born in Ecuador and an expat from Miami, USA. I know Peruvian food! Sadly, this should not be advertised as Peruvian. Maybe "Latin Fusion" is more like it. That would be a better name for the restaurant. "Leche de Tigre" or Tiger Milk is an AUTHENTIC Peruvian recipe for Ceviche. Sadly, I will not be back. I was really looking forward to this place. The meat for the Tiraditos (beef skewers) was chewy and tasteless. The only good dish were the Yuca fries. Also, the pisco sours we're so weak they barely had any alcohol. Seriously! Not a good feeling when you pay 75 Euros for 2 for terrible food! I think They suggest 3 choices per person (tapas style) because out of the 3 you make like only 1. If you're an out of towner, stick with German food. You'll be less disappointed.

Not even close to real Peruvian food. Also some of the staff was really unfriendly. I took my Latin…read morefamily here, and they were really disappointed. Not worth the money, sorry.

I have tried Peruvian restaurants in many different countries and this one was definitely below average. The food lacked the usual flavor key in Peruvian cosine - aji amarillo - equivalent to not having basil and tomatoes in italian food. The causas didn't taste right, lomo saltado was bland, and the ceviche was terrible. I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt this one experience merits the extra effort. I leave two stars because people were nice. Wont be going back.
