Traveler Reviews of Astrid y Gastón

Great meal in a cool atmosphere

Loved the ceviche and desserts! Great cocktails, too! On the pricey side, however, especially for Lima, but definitely worth it.

Astrid Y Gaston

It was a nice looking restaurant and good service, but we were very disappointed by the food. It was mediocre in our opinions and we are regular fine diners all over the world. We went because of the name that is quite famous here in Lima.

Excellent Food & Service

Ate here after 2 wk trip to the area. Food was Outstanding and Service was unmatched. Have eaten in many places around the world, this is one of the BEST. Dinner for 2 with a bottle of very nice wine was arounf $100 (US). You will not be disappointed.

THE BEST FLAVOUR IN S.A.

I liked the presentation of the food, unique!...The flavour was even better. I go to A&G everytime I am in business in Lima. I highly recommend it!

From Rio de Janeiro...Please open one Astrid y Gaston here!!!

I have experienced many of the best Restaurants in South America. Living in Rio de Janeiro Sushi Leblon is my best choice here...If you are looking for light, state of the art, amazingly well prepared food , then ASTRID Y GASTON is your place. It has been mine for 12 years and as years pass it has become better and better. Astrid y Gaston opened also in Santiago, Bogotá, Quito as a result of the passion of this couple who have embrace the New Andean cuisine for the world to enjoy!!! SALUD!

As simple as: The best restaurant in the whole world!

Gaston is my fiance's idol! He has changed the way we used to consider Peruvian food because he created many new dishes with incredible imagination gathering ingredients from the coast, the mountains and the Amazon. Everyone can see that Astrid and Gaston are very nice people, they had a TV program where they cooked together and now Gaston has a new one where he shows the best chefs of Peru in his "adventures" throughout Peru. I would die to taste everything he cooks! The restaurant, located in Miraflores, is exquisite and now you can taste all the new cocktails made with Pisco and exotic ingredients that are native from Peru. Moreover, he has opened a more informal new seafood restaurant called "La Mar" that I think is heaven! I have had the oportunity to visit a lot of countries and I won´t change anything for my peruvian food.
