"I did a preliminary research of places to eat in Barcelona looking for tapas of course but then I ran into the description for this restaurant. We love Peru, Peruvian food and especially the Peruvian people so we were excited to find out that this restaurant was a two minute walk from our hotel. On our first day in Barcelona we went to see the restaurant but in usual European fashion they were just about to close for the afternoon to get ready for 7:30 dinner reopening. We noticed there were people eating in the restaurant so we attempted to go in but the owner, Julio said they were closed. We said that we only wanted a Pisco sour but he said to come back later. So in the meantime we started to ask questions about the restaurant and if Julio was actually from Peru which sparked a great conversation about all the things we love about Peru, their people, etc. Julio then said to come in and he’d serve us a drink! Yahoo! We chatted a little, drank a GREAT Pisco sour and said we’d return tomorrow night. We were so excited to return the next night and showed up promptly at 7:30 to start a journey back to Peru. The food here is amazing, the drinks are delightful but the Peruvian ambiance is the best. Julio was so typically Peruvian in his graciousness and humility. He treated us as family because I think he could sense how very much we love Peruvians. When we were ordering (too much food) he suggested a smaller portion of the chicken. We hadn’t had Peruvian food in so long that we wanted everything on the menu but we tried to keep it reasonable…ha, ha! Needless to say, we were stuffed beyond belief at the end of our delicious, authentic meal. But Julio had other plans for us. He came over to the table with 3 shot glasses and poured us a full shot of Pisco and a mouthful for him. He then came over and gave each of us a typical Peruvian dessert cookie, alfajores! That was the best version of that cookie I have ever eaten! After all that he said to us, “May God bless you and safe journey home”. If I could give this restaurant a 10 rating I would! Thank you Julio for becoming a member of our family. You are now added to our list of our other Peruvian friends that we hold near and dear to our heart. We loved Barcelona so much that we are coming back soon. See you then!"
