    Amazing pisco sours. The food is tasty and truly authentic. The chupe from Arequipa tasted incredible and ended up being our favorite dish of the night. I also like the art pieces displayed in the restaurant.

    Excellent food, pisco above the average, very nice personnel. Only point to improve is that service was a bit rushed between appetizers and main course. Small remark for a restaurant I recommend.

    The ceviche is big enough for a main for one person. Delicious. We ordered too much food, the classic cerviche was great.

    It was even better than I expected, great food, an authentic ambiance, very friendly people and good range of peruvian dishes, including Picanteria Arequipeña, a must if you like spiciness. Definitely would be coming again when in Paris.

    This was our third visit, in our first two times the food was excellent, this time we ordered lechon which was dry and not as tender as it should be and the shrimps in the chupe rubbery mostlyb ecause of being overcooked pity. Do they have a new chef?

    The food was OK, the service was good. Unfortunately, it was not good enough to return. The restaurant was understaffed and we had to wait a long time to receive our food. We also never received our chosen dessert as it was not ready yet. The server apologized and did the best she could. The restaurant is gluten-free friendly.

    Great Peruvian restaurant in Paris….. as authentic as you can get it outside Peru

    Excellent food, warm and helpful service, home-y ambiance. Best Peruvian restaurant I've tried in Paris (so far). The "trilogias" make it easy to try multiple dishes - would recommend going for these.

    The decoration and ambiance is great but the three little pieces of food I took (ceviche) were very tiny. 20 Euros for sample of food rather than small portions is a bit unfair.

    Great food way beyond my expectation. The only problem was that there was only one server and she didn't speak any English (the menu is in Spanish and French)

    Service very slow even if we were the only once in the restaurant. The meat was hard and had a taste of old and the sauce was extremely full of vinegar that I couldn’t eat it. The octopus was very good though! The lamb ragout was too “acid” as my boyfriend defined it. Not my favorite restaurant and based on the rating I would have expected much better and that’s why maybe I was so disappointed.

    A bit too much salty, but it was good quality food, with exotic recipes. The quantity is really nice, you will leave with a full stomach :D. I recommend this restaurant, good surprise

    The place seems quite authentic and the dishes are quite nice and well flavored. At the same time the service was not super fast and then there was a mistake in a bill.

    This restaurant came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. Excellent cuisine with prompt service. The restaurant seems small, but they were able to store our 2 carry-on suitcases as well as 2 strollers of families that were eating there. It's in a great neighborhood. My only small "complaint" was the table was very wobbly and I like it better when restaurants also change silverware when you change courses. Doesn't matter, I'll still go back!

    We just had a great lunch at Picaflor. You have to start with the Pisco Sours! The empanada and Pulpo are both excellent starters. We really liked the Aji de Gallina (moist chicken breast in a creamy Parmesan sauce) and the Seco de Cordero (a delicious lamb stew with carrots and cilantro). The rice was perfect and we had a nice Chilean red wine too. We didn't have room for any dessert! The service was friendly and professional and the ambiance was warm and friendly. It was easy to have a conversation. We will come back again soon!

    I come to this place at least once every time I’m in Paris! One of my favorite places. Highly recommend the ají de Gallina

    El Picaflor has delicious, authentic Peruvian cuisine. I know my Peruvian food as I’m from Lima and I’m always on the look out for good Peruvian food. The Ceviche was just like it should be, mouth-watering, fresh quality ingredients and good size portions. The menu has a lot of variety, we also had the Anticucho & Lomo saltado. There is an excellent-value 3 course menu for 28€ as well as other menus, including a children’s menu & of course A la carte. We had Pisco sours and chicha morada, also great! The service was fast, friendly and efficient. We loved it and will be back!

    Very good restaurant (the Ceviche de Pato is amazing), fair price, and a very good service. Some tables are not well located in such a way that you may have not too much space to move your arms if you are big as me. So take care when choosing. In general, I really recommend this place!

    Amazing starters and main dishes in a cozy restaurant close to the metro. Also a great selection of Peruvian drinks and South American wines. The staff is extremely kind and friendly. The dessert was the only thing that was a bit dry, but the rest of the food was incredible. Loved it! ❤️
