Description

A simple restaurant a stone's throw from the beach, serving Peruvian cuisine with a Mediterranean touch that is centred around products sourced from the local market. You can choose to order à la carte (there are wok-chifa and grilled dishes) or let yourself be guided by one of their tasting menus ('Al Toque' and 'Karu Kay'). Recommendations? Be sure to try their Tiraditos, the Arequipa-style Shrimp Chupe, and for dessert, their delicious Lucuma soup.

Review summary

Located at the end of Playa las Vistas in Melo, qapaq is a cozy Peruvian restaurant featuring an open kitchen view and approximately 20 tables. Dishes highlight fresh ingredients, with ceviche, pisco sours, and tasting menus receiving high praise for flavor and presentation. However, some guests noted inconsistent main courses, such as overcooked octopus, and slower pacing during busy periods. Service is generally attentive, though issues regarding unannounced cake cutting fees and bread charges have been reported. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a solid choice for those seeking authentic Peruvian cuisine, provided diners are aware of potential service delays and extra costs.

Suitable for diners seeking authentic Peruvian cuisine who can tolerate service variability during peak hours.
