We found this gem when looking for a restaurant in Alicante centre on The Fork. We thought the fact it was Peruvian cuisine was interesting but looking closely at the à la carte menu it was more like fusion with traditional Peruvian mixed with Spanish, Mexican and French influences. Everything we had tasted utterly delicious and was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Wow! We had huevo 65 so rich and creamy with flavours of trufle but not overpowering as trufle can be, then the mini tacos with lovely tortilla, juicy meat and fresh diced tomatoes... best tacos I've had in Alicante and finally the steak tartar with foie that as a French person I'm quite demanding about.... diced beef full of meaty flavour perfectly seasoned as a steak tartar should be with addition of shavings of foie gras. Pure indulgence. The service was great too, attentive without being intrusive and each dish was explained which is a nice touch... something you get in fine dining restaurants. Basically it was a perfect experience, extremely good value for money and we'll repeat for sure. Thank you Vituco Gourmet!

Cozy restaurant just round the corner with relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. We tried "Causa Limena" which was off the menu and was delicate and surprisingly tasty. I hope they'll put It in the menu one day because it's a must try! Ceviche was exquisite as well, It can come with a sooo spicy pepper sauce, which Is only for brave hearts! Also spanish dishes were well prepared so we definitely recommend this restaurant!

Had birthday celebration lunch with family and we all loved the food. The restaurant is beautiful inside, well spaced table bright and airy. It was quiet but that was fine for us. We had the ensaladilla Merluza, alchofas con Jamon, fish and chips (fussy teen!), arroza de corvina and a lovely white Alucante wine. The food and service was outstanding. We will definitely return.
