Best Peruvian Restaurants in Berkeley

Fabulous menu. Hard to choose what to have. Very helpful and knowledgeable servers. Absolutely delicious and generous servings. Will return.

I was invited to dinner at Bocanova in Oakland. The inviting picturesque view of the restaurant and surroundings piqued my curiosity of what I was about to experience. I received a warm welcome as I entered the restaurant by the staff. We enjoyed the amazing appetizers, and I am not a fan of Ahi Tuna, it was awesome. We followed the appetizers with our main course selection: grilled marinated lamb chops and Peruvian style chicken. Delicious! If you haven't visited Bocanova, please visit.

Each and every time i come to La Mar, the amazing staff surprise me and take it up another level. I can only pile this high on top of my previous love letters to the place, and tell you to go there, and enjoy!!!

Pros: the food was great, the ambience was great. Cons: the place is expensive and charges for water. On top of that the server asked me for my card without showing me the bill, even when I asked. I didn't feel like fussing, plus they can't run it without me looking because she still had to hand the thing to me. But I would say that is the absolute weirdest thing that has ever happened and I found it insulting.

The food was outstanding. Not many people in restaurant, but enough. Only one person serving the tables…NOT ENOUGH! He tried and was gracious but couldn’t meet the demand well. The music was extremely loud. All that said, we would absolutely return!
