Rafael Miraflores Reviews
Great Dinner in Lima
We really enjoyed our dinner at Rafael. The service was perfect, the scallops well prepared, the sea bass in curry sauce was very flavorful, and spaghetti with crab was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant.
Peruvian Flavors with Room for Improvement
Cozy environment for this traditional Peruvian restaurant. Rafael excels with the starters and desserts, which are creative takes on classic Peruvian cuisine—beautifully presented and delicious. Unfortunately, my main dish (sea bass) was disappoint
too many petty charges, including an unflexible reservation policy
I've seen many of the other reviews describing that this restaurant seems petty and greedy, and unfortunately I have to agree with this. They tried to charge my credit card for a reservation that I had cancelled well within the requested time li
Disappointing
Disappointing. Bad service, food just ok, the main courses were just average. Very pricey for Peru and for what it offers
A must if you are visiting Lima!
Rafael was absolutely fantastic... the best meal we had in Lima! Forget the restaurants listed in the '50 bests in the World' - the cost and lack of availability are not worth it. Lima has amazing restaurants and Rafael is one. We didn'
Not worth the extra charges
Food was ok but they charged us $100 for bread and water which they put in the table and they kept refilling for us. Would not go again because of this. They also adjusted appetizers automatically when we did not want this. You can find better food a
Old building with an ancient elevator.
Very reasonable price, In the middle of downtown Santiago Chile
Highly recommended
Exquisite food, good and original cocktails, careful details, friendly service and good times. Good wine list.
Very well done.
We are visiting Peru from Europe. To come here to drink Italian water ... isn't there any water from Peru worth to be served at your restaurant? Between the water and the bread we paid more than we paid for a truly well elaborated dish. When checking
From the famous chef...
Spectacular, gourmet food (they are not very abundant dishes). High price. The place is very fine and it is very pretty. Good attention
big disappointment
It is no longer one of the best restaurants in Lima, although it continues to live off the rent... the clearest example is mero al pil pil. That dish is a fraud because the sauce is NOT pil pil. In the Basque Country they would have always turned you
Incredible ambience. Amazing food. Chef Giancarlo is an artist!!!
As an American traveling abroad, finding this restaurant in the heart of Miraflores felt like discovering something magical. Our chef, Giancarlo was nothing short of an artist with the food. In all honesty, I’m a fairly simple traveler. Peruvian fo
Seasoning
Everything was very delicious, and the presentation of the dishes was exquisite! In addition, the facilities made me feel very comfortable, the atmosphere very comfortable.
Tourist trap, overpriced, bread charged with no notice, terrible and untransparent charges (water & pisco sour)
I went in 2017 and 2019 and it was my favourite restaurant in Lima. Now it changed dramatically and became a tourist trap. They bring you bread at the table without inform there they will charge you 30 soles (more than 7 USD), they charge for a pisco
Great service, welcoming atmosphere and spectacular food.
Great service, welcoming atmosphere and spectacular food. We ate a starter and a main course (I can't say which was better). It's not cheap, but it's worth it. Note: the drinks are very small and have a high price.
Terrible service - be aware of “cover charge”
This experience was a major disappointment. The food was decent - the service was absolutely terrible - we were ignored for 45 minutes - the staff didn’t check on us at all after we ordered. They also charge for the bread and butter they give you w
Don't miss Rafael.
It has been my first time there, but was impressed by the kindness of the staff and the quality of food. The mellow rice with duck is a must!
Best Chef in Lima
To me, this is the best and most underrated restaurant in Lima Peru. there is always the new and up-and-coming Restaurant, but this is your best bet for a fantastic consistent creation no matter the year or time. I think that chef Rafael should recei
New culinary obsession
I had a waiting list to go to Rafael, since I had had excellent references from him. I achieved it and it exceeded my expectations. We had lunch and with the light of day the place is so cozy, the service is luxurious, and absolutely everything we or
Flavorsome and friendly dining.
A wonderful dining experience at Rafael in Miraflores. Excellent food with so much flavor packed into all our dishes, from the breads and spreads at the start through to the petit fours to finish, and all served with friendly, helpful waiters. We we
Exquisite Birthday Dinner!
It's always nice when high expectations are exceeded, and this was certainly the case with the food and service at Rafael. It was my birthday; we had the Ceviche and the Lamb Shank with mashed potatoes and eggplant, and both the food and service wer
A Timeless Classic
One of my favorite restaurants in Lima. I went twice, seven years apart, and was amazed by the quality and thoughtfulness of the dishes both times. Highly recommend the scallops, the duck pasta, the tacos, and the Chinese crepes. Service was also top
A memorable gastronomic experience
We made the mistake of arriving ten minutes early for a 19:00H reservation and upon entering we were brusquely advised that we could not even sit at the bar for a cocktail, as it was not yet open. We were seated about 19:10 at a delightful, small two
Horrible, horrible experience

Dismissive and rude
This overall experience was truly disappointing. After planning my trip to Lima for several months I was truly excited to experience this as it has been rated in top 50 latin restaurants of the world. Unfortunately it was nowhere near the top and ins
Connect with users posting reservations for Rafael Miraflores
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Rafael Miraflores. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Rafael Miraflores at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Rafael Miraflores page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Rafael Miraflores to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Rafael Miraflores!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
