1 Rafael

Rafael Osterling was born in Peru, but his palate and his creativity are as worldly as they come. It is this compelling combination that has made his restaurant one of the highlights of any gourmand’s tour of Lima. A mandatory stop for fans of cosmopolitan cuisine, where the tiradito is taken to unheard-of heights and the lomo saltado is embellished with aromas of pisco and chicha de jora.
