"Peruvian Cuisine NL "The Real Peruvian Kitchen" in Van Lennepbuurt

The best restaurant and food I’ve eaten in the world I think, this restaurant led me to have peruvian cuisine as my favourite cuisine now. Their Aji De Gallina is just incredible and the Chaufa. Their spicy yellow sauce is too good I always ask extra of it!!! 10/10 food

Small portions for the price. Nontheless, it has an authentic taste of Peru. The restaurant isn’t that big, so you’re lucky if it is dinner time and you have a table.

Unfortunately, it was recommended to me, and it wasn't the best restaurant, nor the best food. It was okay, but nothing special! The Brazilian waiter was friendly; however, the owner was arrogant and rude. I practically felt forced to order what he insisted on, and I brought some excited friends from Slovakia to try everything. Without a doubt, the owner's service was so unpleasant that we just wanted to run away. I wouldn't go back, not even as a joke!

Food was great, the vibe felt very authentic

I had a reservation for two, but a friend joined us, so there were three of us. I apologized, but the service was uncomfortable the whole time. However, I had previously been there with my Dutch boyfriend, so he did all the ordering, and the service was completely different. The food was good, though. You go there to feel at home, but that wasn't the case.

Tallarin Saltado was really good!

Hands down some of the best Peruvian food I have had. Being from Miami, no shortage of Peruvian restaurants. From the ceviche to the papa la huaccaina to aji de gallina, everything was delicious. Only one waiter so service could be slow and they don’t offer tap water, which is disappointing when Amsterdam has some of the best water in Europe.

Excellent food! And the service from Welliton, a Brazilian, gets a 1000/10!

Amazing food!!! Top-notch service!!!

Forever in love with this restaurant. 🥰 We came tens of times, already.

Good food. You do need to be patient... but it's also quite relaxing.

Delicious and rich food with amazing staff, definitely coming back again, chicha morada is a must try for drinks, so refreshing! Reservation is advised.

Great service and delicious food.

Amazing experience! Food with authentic Peruvian flavor! Thank you!

delicious!! first time trying peruvian, we booked a table the day before, really happy about everything. ceviche with st. jacobs, causa with tuna, and two main dishes, one with seafood and one with chicken ragout, amazing!! quick and friendly waiters. it’s a small place, so don’t expect super fancy big table etc., was simple and cosy, everything felt homey. thanks for the great dinner :)

Food is mediocre, older man is downright rude. Atmosphere: Asians sitting on their phones; don't go here to have a nice chat with your table companions. You come home and your clothes are drenched in the smell of food. Very cramped table. Not a success… No vegetarian options. The only tasty one was the yuca.

Best Peruvian restaurant in the Netherlands

The seafood soup is so flavorful and goes well with rice. The drink is also very nice and special. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience, great food and service. We will definitely come back. Tank you!

Terrible experience. The man who works there is very rude, both on the phone and in person. I was visiting with my family, explained that I don't live here, made a reservation, and we waited almost three hours, going around in circles, until it was time for our reservation. I had my dog ​​with me, and I've never had any problems anywhere else, so I didn't imagine that would be an issue for the restaurant, which is why I didn't mention I was bringing my dog. When we finally arrived, the man told us dogs weren't allowed, and I explained that my dog ​​was calm and that we were just visiting, and so on. He said no, that his customers were Chinese and were afraid, and that if I wanted, I could eat outside. Outside there weren't any tables, just something that could fit a bottle and two glasses. He also told me that if I wanted, one of us could eat outside and the rest inside, or worse, that the dog could stay outside. I felt truly humiliated, and while I was outside in shock, the man came up and said, "I'll set up a table for you." I considered it, but the desire and joy of having found something Peruvian in a place so far from my country vanished completely. I will NEVER go there; that place doesn't exist for me. I should give it zero stars. I hope all the Chinese customers, as he calls them, visit his place.

A small restaurant with authentic, genuine Peruvian food right in the middle of Amsterdam. As someone who lived in Peru for many years, I can safely say this is the only Peruvian restaurant worth a visit. Come hungry. Reserve ahead of time to guarantee your table.

We didn't have a reservation, but they were so kind and gave us a table. I loved the food and especially the excellent service 🙏

wow! So good!!!! Defined coming back!!!

Delicious Creole food that transports you to Peru. We ordered the Creole trio: a perfectly cooked ceviche, followed by tallarines a la huancaína with tenderloin and its delicious juices (10/10), and a seco de res with beans that dazzled me—the meat was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. For dessert, an incredible combination! 🤯

Lecker and very nice team and flair

Very authentic peruvian food in Amsterdam! The Lomo Saltado was delicious and they also have fresh chicha morada. The price was very reasonable for the size and quality of the food too :) However, it’s quite a small restaurant so I would suggest reserving!

My wife and I moved to the Netherlands about 8 years ago and this restaurant has been our most frequently visited one. The reason? It’s the best. Best ceviche, best lomo. The beef hearts are to die for. The owners are soooo friendly and we love the atmosphere of this small, family owned restaurant. Don’t expect fancy table cloths and decor. All their attention went into making that perfect leche de tigre, and we’re grateful that they did that!

Speechless. Never and ever and please do not believe in RedNote’s comments.

Despite not having a reservation, they still managed to find us a table. We then enjoyed a delicious meal of sea bass and seafood ceviche, seafood fried rice, and yellow curry sea bass. Next time, we'll go for the meat dishes.

We arrived from Argentina and Peru as a family and went to the Peruvian restaurant. The service from Chef Alberto was outstanding; he was very friendly, and the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Delicious food for a great price! We'll definitely be back! :)

Great peruvian food. We loved the ceviche and the lomo saltado. The place is small and cozy and has a very authentic atmosphere.

Small restaurant, reservations needed, good food. I ordered leche de tigre and lomo saltado; the lomo was very tasty, although the meat was a bit tough. Between that and an Inca Kola, it came to 38 euros. Recommended 👍

Awesome food, great atmosphere, and very friendly service. Ate Peruvian food for the first time, but the feeling was very familiar and homy. All recommendations!

Coming to Peru is coming to BRAVO! Peruvian food is food with AMAZING flavor! But here, the food is truly fantastic!

Amazing service, super nice staff, food is out of this world. Already planning my next visit!

We had the lomo saltado and it was delicious; they have all kinds of Peruvian food. The atmosphere is excellent and the staff is friendly. Highly recommended.

Was a good experience, only downside was the lava cake but rest of the food was so delicious.

An amazing experience and the best Peruvian food since leaving Peru.

This is the first time I have tried Peruvian cuisine. The grilled octopus feet are good, and there is no problem with the fried food. The salad next to it is sweet and sour. It is very appetizing. We also ordered seafood stew and stewed seafood. For me, the two dishes are lightly seasoned and taste similar. There is not much difference.

Very tasty food and service. The place is small so make sure to book if you are a big group. We Will come back.

Real Peruvian taste!! Hard to find in other countries other than Lima Peru itself!!

Better than my ex-wife’s cooking!

The food is delicious! I tried the ceviche with fried fish, seco with beans, anticuchos, and everything was delicious. The chicha de jora is good too! You need to make a reservation, especially on weekends.

A family-owned restaurant with a warm, down-to-earth atmosphere. Portions are generous, the food is tasty, and the prices offer good value for money. Nothing fancy—just honest, comforting food done well. The only area that could be improved is the wine selection, which is quite limited and very basic. It would be nice to see a slightly better wine option available, even for a restaurant of this type.

I tried the lomo saltado and the chaufa rice. The potatoes were frozen and nothing special, and the meat was very thick, so in some parts it was too red. The flavor was very good, though, but the rice was very compact. The chaufa rice didn't have much flavor; the bell pepper was especially prominent. And just like with the rice from the lomo saltado, the chaufa rice was also very compact, with the rice grains broken in half.

Thanks to Alberto for being such a great host! Food is always delicious and the service is amazing. I love the atmosphere as well. Keep the great work!

The food was good, but the service was terrible. They take forever to bring the food and then rudely kick you out because they have other reservations. Even though the food was good, I wouldn't go back because of the bad service and rude treatment. 👎🏽 P.S. My friend and I arrived on time for our reservation. We had ordered an appetizer and two main courses. My friend's appetizer and main course arrived on time, but mine took forever... so long that I had to ask if they had forgotten. 😅

Super good food!!! I recommend!

Excellent food, great value for money

The food was tasty, but you sit a bit close to each other.

I want to thank you guys for the excellent food and the care you took with us at the event in the Noord neighborhood. You can tell you do things with love, and you can feel it in your stomach and in your heart ❤️. Highly recommended. Hugs, friends.

Delicious food, cozy and homely!

Food was very good. I loved that they have such a variety of Peruvian dishes, even in desserts. The only thing I didn't like is that I was feeling that they were rushing us to finish. At one point they approach to say "you only have 5 minutes to finish because there is another reservation" and we just started our desserts when they said that. If I would have known, I wouldn't have ordered a dessert. Service needs to improve, but food was tasty!

I took my best friends from different nationalities and have a nice meal and time, we were celebrating the birthday of a friend. I loved the food, it was really amazing, a lot of variety! Really TOP! however the quality of the service was disappointing. The waiter was constantly rushing us to order more and go to the next course. In the end after ordering the desserts and getting them at the table, 5 min afterwards he came and said we only had 5 min to finish all cause the table was reserved by another family. We had to rush and pay quickly and when we noticed there were still other empty tables that could have Been good to transfer to in worst case scenario. Bad service, the waiter was always distracted and not paying attention to serve nicely the food. The owner was there and also didn’t try to find a solution. Not warm at all for being Peruvian!

An amazing, authentic taste of Peru in Amsterdam!

Delicious Peruvian specialties but reservations are very important because this restaurant is constantly full!!

This place is a gem! Extensive menu, the ceviche was lovely and we tried many dishes we hadn't tried before. The service was nice and the experience felt authentic. We had to go back the next day having forgotten an item, they remembered us and had been very good in storing the forgotten item. Thank you for the attention to detail!

A small, simple restaurant with an amazing, and varied, menu full of flavour! Friendly service, and well priced. A great option.

Thank you very much. Excellent food and service.

Very nice peruvian food in Amsterdam. We had ceviche, pescado a lo macho, octopus and tres leches, everything was amazing. Highly recommended!

We were here on a day trip to Amsterdam and really enjoyed the food and the hospitality. We shared a mix of appetisers which were all extremly tasty and without asking were set up with a seperate plate each so that sharing and enjoying different tastes and textures was easy. For the main we had different plates that both were very enjoyable (unfortunately one of the pictures of them seems to have been lost ;-/..) and so much that we didn't manage to eat all the rice. And I enjoyed the chicha morada a lot - still one of my favourite drinks and home-made and very tasty here :-).

Amazing taste, just like Peruvian food (coming from a Peruvian) i really enjoyed and the prices are good

The food is good and traditional in flavor. The chef and waiter are friendly, but the owner has a harsh and inhospitable demeanor. I've noticed this attitude on every visit, which makes me think twice before returning.

A unique experience with friendly service. It's the best restaurant I've visited in Holland, with a variety of dishes. Personalized service didn't take more than 10 minutes. I recommend making a reservation because it's always packed. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Clean, and the owner is charming. I'll be back soon. I recommend it 100%.

Amazing food, super tender meat, great people, they have a lot of fun while working 👍

You should update the information We came after so long journey and the restaurant is closed, but it’s open in Google Maps

The food was tasty but in terms of quantity the ceviche is very high cost in relation to the portion. the atmosphere can improve

I have visited this restaurant a few times. The service has never been their priority, being quite unwelcoming. The owner, Alberto, tends to rush customers to eat fast and leave. But food used to make it worth the inconvenience. However, sadly, today I visited again and the quality of the food has significantly declined, along with the service. A main dish was brought before the appetiser, the other main dish was delayed. Chicha morada was warm. Chicharrón de pescado was soggy instead of crispy and well fried. Meat in lomo saltado was chewy and overcooked. Very disappointing experience. This is the last time I’m visiting.

SPECTACULAR! It transported me back to Peru.

Delicious, we were on a trip to Amsterdam and I thought it was delicious food to be home. I'll definitely come back. 😋💪❤️

Great latin food great peruvian food got adviced and i can def advice too

So nice seafood and kind staffs&owner!! Will come back

AVOID - NOT RECOMMENDED. Owner Alberto is the most greedy, unwelcoming, and rude person I know. He doesn't deserve any guests. I have been here a few times, I had to validate the other reviews on Alberto, but it's true. He's for example instructing guests what and how much to eat when they arrive in a group. In an horrible way. He doesn't represent Peruvian culture at all. Also the place is an outdated mess, never invested any penny. The food is not bad, but rather expensive and mediocre quality ingredients. Visit Casa Peru, Mache or NAZKA instead!

Poor quality Peruvian food with no flavor

We ordered the largest plates to share and wow, it was a lot but everything was delicious… I wish I had a bigger stomach.

I love coming here! I always bring my guests here because it truly feels like being there! The food is delicious and warm, and the service is always friendly. The chef is a very nice person who said goodbye with a huge smile when I told him how delicious everything was. The prices are super affordable too! 🥰 I always want to come back!

Excellent Peruvian food in Amsterdam 👌🏼

Delicious food at a good price. The service is good, although the restaurant is small and, since it faces a main street, lacks atmosphere.

Good Peruvian food. The cebiche came Close to the version in Peru which is good. Other food also quite good with friendly service.

Every time we eat here, the service is perfect and the food fabulous.

First time trying peruvian cuisine and this is really goooood! Will definitely visit again :)

Authentic Peruvian food! Nice and friendly staff and great food served really quickly!

I went with my family, to start the welcoming was terrible, the guy asked if we have reservation and made a face when I asked. " if reservation is needed" he says yes, even tough the restaurant had lots of tables available, anyway, we steaded down, and we ordered the tamales, the chilcano soup and huancaina , the tamal was dry because they heated in the microwave , tasted bad, chilcano has no taste, it was very bland, the huancaina tasted of Pure olive oil , far away from a huancaina, also we ordered the pollo a la braza (roasted chicken) chicken was ok , a bit juicy however didn't taste like an authentic peruvian pollo a la braza and the lomo saltado was ok . In general food was dissapointed, we ate it because we were hungry and we didn't want it to look for another restaurant. I dont recommend it , it is very likely that the chef hasn't gane to peru for a long time that has forgotten how to cook proper peruvian food. The service bad , the waiters were interacting more between them than giving proper service to customers.

Everything was delicious, the service was excellent. The food was 10/10.

As a Peruvian myself, I can confidently say this is the best spot for Peruvian food in Amsterdam. Eating here genuinely felt like being back home, everything was fresh, full of flavor, and cooked “con mucha sazón”. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can tell the food is made with love. If you’re looking for an authentic Peruvian experience, this place is an absolute must-try!

Authentic and delicious Peruvian cuisine. Everything tasted amazing, the seafood was super fresh! I didn’t know what expect but I was surprised, it felt like being in Lima! Loved everything and I will for sure come back!! Bonus: approved by my Peruvian boyfriend and his Inkacola:)

Ordered via Uber Eats and 1 hour later the order is cancelled by the restaurant. Without giving a reason. I like to go to this restaurant, but this is already the second time that there is a problem with the order via Uber Eats. Update: order number FD889

One of the most unique restaurants in the Amsterdam. They always have great food and service. Would recommend making reservation before coming.

Incredible experience. Authentic Peruvian cuisine, with flavors that are unlike any other. We tried huancaína potatoes, tuna causa, ceviche and a tres leches dessert: all delicious and full of flavor. Each dish is truly enjoyed. The menu is very varied, so we will definitely return. We recommend making a reservation because the place is small and fills up quickly.

Delicious first time in a Peruvian and amazed

Real Authentic peruvian cuisine, the best ceviche and Lomo in town

Really good place; very close to original Peruvian cuisine, and for really good price. Staff were nice, and the size of the plates were also good ideal even to share between 2. Definitely worth trying. I recommend Tallarín Huancaina, lomo saltado and seco con frejoles as main dish, and for sure Tres Causas as starter. dessert “tres leches” was also pretty good! And to drink, pisco sour was also really good, sweet and not too strong! They have tables outside for this warm weather too. Provecho!!

Tasty food and friendly staff, good value for money.

the raw materials seem very fresh. We tried the ceviche, really well done: balanced, fresh and with the right acidity. The tallarines a la Huancaina con lo mito were fantastic. The restaurant is simple but well-kept, with a familiar and welcoming atmosphere. The service was friendly and helpful, ready to explain the dishes and make recommendations. Excellent value for money: you leave satisfied, both for your palate and your wallet. Recommended for those who want to discover authentic Peruvian cuisine in an informal setting.

Amazing experience! All the dishes were really really good. You can feel the experience and the love of the chef!

Have been here two times and enjoyed everything! The food is fantastic, and flavours are amazing, including desert. Will come back again for sure.

As a person with a wide acceptance of taste, the overall quality of the food here (as far as the seafood noodles and seafood rice we ordered) is moderate to me. Seafood is not fresh, so if you come for seafood, I don't recommend it. But I think the seasoning of the sauce is okay. It seems that many people order passion fruit desserts, so we did too, but we were disappointed that the sweet and sour taste of passion fruit was not combined with the cream part. It felt like just the quality of a dessert bought in a supermarket.

As a good Peruvian I went looking for food and as soon as I arrived they told me in a very unfriendly manner that there was no table, when there was a table outside, after that they practically kicked us out. I was so surprised that a restaurant that claims to be Peruvian is not kind enough to tell you to make a reservation or that there is a waiting time as is customary in Peru. When we left, I think he realized that he treated us badly and came out to tell us that we could take the outside table and that it was always full, to which we did not agree.

The best Peruvian ceviche in Amsterdam
