Overheated Hot Chocolate, Good Vibe
My experience at this restaurant involved trying their Dubai hot chocolate. Unfortunately, the milk was overheated to the point of burning. It's a shame because the place itself has a good vibe to it.

Beautiful Spot with Excellent Food!
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. It's a beautiful spot located near the market, offering excellent food. The waitress was very nice, contributing to a positive experience. Both the food and drinks were very good.

Disappointing Bolivian Flavors
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing regarding the authenticity of the food. While the food itself was decent, it did not taste like Bolivian food at all. My parents and I, who are from Bolivia, were particularly disappointed by the lack of authentic Bolivian flavors. Although the food wasn't bad, it shouldn't be labeled as Bolivian cuisine.

Glad it's still here!
It's been 45 years since I last ate here, and I'm very glad it was still there! The place seems smaller, but the outside seating is a nice change. I had to wait for the corn pie to be finished, but it was worth the wait 😋.

Disappointing Peruvian Flavors
I knew this wasn't Peruvian food, but I had high expectations because I read they sold Papa a la Huancaína and Lomo Saltado. I was hoping for the authentic flavor of Huancaína, but it was nothing like it. It wasn't bad, but it's not the taste of Huancaína. As for the Lomo Saltado, it had 6 small, thin pieces of meat that looked like steak; it's not worth the price of the dish. I wouldn't go back. The attention was good, but they took too long to bring us the appetizers, and all the food arrived at the same time. My wife ordered a ceviche and found it to be very bad.

Delicious Breakfast and Great Company
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I popped in while visiting the Market and was immediately impressed. The Market breakfast, featuring 2 fried eggs, roasted Spanish potatoes, and a choice of sausage links or crispy bacon, was so delicious that I ate it all before I could take a picture. I also enjoyed a warm, fresh-from-the-oven buttermilk biscuit and a huge cup of coffee, which was much appreciated early in the morning. The best part, however, was talking to Pam, the granddaughter of the original owners, and hearing the history of the place. The view was almost as enjoyable as the staff and food. I absolutely would recommend this as a can't miss place to eat.

Amazing Authentic Food and Service!
My HUGE family was amazingly accommodated, even with separate checks here. The food is very authentic and we loved ALL the items we tried! Would certainly come back!

Amazing Food and View!
My experience at this restaurant was downright amazing! I'm not sure why it only received 3. 7 stars. The view of the market was great, and I highly recommend trying the paella. We will definitely be back!

Diabolical Mimosa, Long Wait
My experience at this restaurant was marked by a 30-minute wait for what turned out to be the worst mimosa I've ever encountered. It was essentially half a glass of warm juice. Absolutely diabolical. I would advise others to go somewhere else.

Beautiful Balcony with Delicious Food!
My experience at this beautiful, family-owned restaurant was fantastic! The newly renovated balcony seating offered amazing views overlooking Pike Place Market. The food and drinks were delicious, and the staff were friendly. The lomito alone made the visit absolutely worth it! So good 😁😁😁. I definitely recommend it every time you’re in the area.
