Fabulous Peruvian fusion restaurant. I have been here once and never forgot to come back and try it again, so today I came. Excellent food (ordered chicharron mixta, siu mai and pato) , it will be better if the chicharron comes with a small ceviche. We ordered 2 drinks as well, in total 91 euros. Service is really welcoming, waitresses are nice and helpful. Would defo come back in the future.

I had an incredible dining experience here. The Ceviche was fresh, zesty, and perfectly balanced with lime and chili. We also tried the Lomo Saltado, which was tender and packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Highly recommended! I will definitely be coming back.

This place is pricey for Barcelona, but was an absolute treat. I’ve had a lot of Peruvian food, but this is some of the best I’ve had, including in Peru.

We have eaten in all 3 branches of Yakumanka. In Lima, CDMX, and now Barna. Ceviche was superb in all 3 branches. Relaxing and comfortable in the Barna branch w very good service.

Everything was delicious, service really good and not intrusive. Portions are quite big, and thought to be shared. Great spot in Barcelona!!

The taste is something else. Nobody does the Tres Leches like here. The Civeche was very nice. Tuna Taco was amazing. I will return with my sone next time.

I love Gaston Acurio but this restaurant is overpriced. It is tasty but to me... not worth it. Normal lunch for 70 EUR per pax in BCN... that is not competitive for a city with such great restaurants below 50 EUR per pax.

For a Peruvian to review a Peruvian's restaurant outside of Peru is hard because how do you make a fair comparison? With Lima or outside of Peru? 1) Flavors: ceviche trio was ok. Chicken causa was a just ok. Fried yellow potatoes were very good. Rice with duck and lomo saltado were very good. Tres leches was ok (lacked a little sugar) and chocolate cake was good. Pisco sour was ok (lacked a little sugar and not tarty enough). 2) Ambiance: Nothing fancy. Music was a little loud. 3) Service: Good and friendly 4) Prices: These are Miami/NYC/Washington DC prices. I would return for the main courses, not for the appetizers.

Yesterday in the restaurant an unpleasant incident happened: the waiter, while bringing drinks, accidentally spilled beer on me. Such things can happen, but what surprised me the most was the restaurant’s reaction — they only removed one dish from the bill (the one the beer spilled into), but the beer itself remained charged. I often came to this restaurant, but after this experience I no longer feel valued as a guest. There was no apology from the manager, no offer to compensate for the damaged clothes, and no complimentary gesture. For a place of this level, it shows a poor standard of service and lack of care for loyal customers. The food and atmosphere can be pleasant, but the way they handled this situation left me disappointed, and in the future I will consider other restaurants.

Yakumanka offers an authentic Peruvian dining experience with fresh flavors, vibrant dishes, and a warm atmosphere. The ceviche is outstanding and the service is excellent — highly recommended!

The food is amazing, the service is absolutely awful. We go there a lot because of the food, there wasn't one time that everything was o.k. They really need to teach the workers how to treat customers

+1We had been here 2 years ago and we made an effort to visit this time around. The food never disappoints; however, it is abundantly clear that smiling, kindness, and willingness to serve is not in most of the ladies working there. We left satisfied with the food but saddened by the experience. Will consider carefully returning to this place.

Food is out of this world ✨✨ and the service is outstanding!! It’s always a pleasure to go.
8.0
Prices are high for what it is: nothing special about decoration or any luxe, and portions are smaller than expected. Service is amazing and food is tasty but again, small portions that don't match the prices.

Food was amazing !! Just what I was expecting ! Good portions. the Meloso de Pato ( arroz con Pato or Peruvian Duck Risotto ) and Lomo Saltado ( Sirloin Stir Fried. ) were to die for.
