Service was excellent and the cuisine was a necessary departure from European influence at such a stage of my vacation.

This place has been open for only 3 months and according to the only staff person that was running the entire dining room, it is the only Peruvian restaurant that serves pollo a la brassa. So that is what I ordered! Unfortunately, they didn't have fried yuca so the half chicken with side salad came with fries (17 CHF). I had a pint of Carlsberg at the bar while I waited (7 CHF) for my food to go. The chicken (Miski Pollo) was on point! It was as good as the best Peruvian chicken I've had in the US. It was served with a side salad and a side of green sauce on the inside of the carton and another box for the fries with a plastic dipping cup of pink hot sauce. The chicken was crispy on the outside with the skin the unforgettable taste of Peruvian chicken while the meat was juicy and flavorful. Not too salty but still packing a lot of flavor. I am glad I got it to go and ate back at my hotel because no one should have watched what I did do that chicken! So why 4 stars? Because for 17 CHF I would have gotten 2 whole chickens back in the USA!

Highly recommend the ceviche Alma and steak and risotto entree.the ceviche had a nice, spicy kick to it. The risotto was a little runny, but nonetheless good.

You need a reservation here as the place is super popular...because the food is so good. We ordered the following, the grilled octopus, ceviche and jalea marina. WOW, as I am not a big fan of ceviche I can say it was good but the other two dishes were fantastic and perfectly cooked and perfectly spiced. Great seafood. Dessert...be sure to look at this menu first to save some room...we tried was too many...the choco-quinoa, cheesecake and alfajores...oh my, so good, roll me out the door and give ma an alfajore for the road please. I can not wait to go back. The wine we had...a malbec, one of the cheaper ones on the menu, was delicious. Servers are top notch, music is great and atmosphere is fun and lively.

A great place to speak Spanish with the owner. The prices weren't too bad, but bear in mind that Geneva is hard on the wallet no matter where you go, short of getting a "street sandwich" somewhere. This place was fun, peaceful and pleasant. I can't ask for more than that after a day of drinking coffee and shopping for Swiss Army knives.

Its a local little tiny place with very little seating, however the food is homemade, authentic. The owner is Swiss but his wife is from Peru so she does all the cooking. I sat at the tiny table in front of their food case and I can vouch for the cleanlines of the place. The glass shelf didnt have a speck of dust on it. Now I am going to spell phonetically but I drank chicha morada which is a fruity drink, refreshing, non-alcoholic *however I think I'd like to try some vodka and crushed ice in it!!! I also ate an empanada and alpha jhor cookie for dessert. I tasted my friends ceviche but I am not a fan of that, she ate every drop. I enjoyed my empanada and I think the cookie was divine, full of caramel and ouside powdered sugar.
