A Truly Memorable Evening at Raphael Peruvian Cuisine Last night's dining experience at Raphael Peruvian Cuisine was nothing short of exceptional. From the very first sip of the Lulu mocktail (on the sour side and absolutely divine!) to the final thoughtful touch with the bill, everything was infused with care, creativity, and intention. The food was outstanding — rich in flavour, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with pride and artistry. Each dish felt like a celebration of Peruvian cuisine. The restaurant's design added to the magic: a dark, intimate space layered with lush tropical plants that created a stunning, transportive atmosphere. What truly elevated the evening was the hospitality. Our server was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly generous. We were surprised with a delightful amuse-bouche, a special dessert for the birthday girl, and charming mini desserts for all three of us — even though we were far too full to order dessert. These thoughtful gestures made the evening feel personal and memorable. Even the bill presentation was a delight — arriving with a handmade postcard created by the restaurant staff. It was such a beautiful, human touch and the perfect closing note to a wonderful meal. Raphael Peruvian Cuisine is a masterclass in hospitality: exceptional food, exquisite design, and heartfelt service. I've dined at this restaurant three times in the past six months. I'll absolutely be back.

Francisco was the most incredible server we have ever had! I can’t even begin to describe how attentive he was, it was next level. We will come back for all our future girl nights. The ambience was amazing, the background music so perfect, the food was absolutely delicious. Before we started to eat, they brought us fish consomé which was spectacular, and in between courses these little surprises. Amazing. Thank you so much! We really wanted a nice girls night and it was so worth it!

Edit after the most recent visit: The portion size seems smaller compared to when those photos were taken. Or it just looks not as fancy as before. The server was nice, but she acted a bit too quickly. We actually wanted different drinks, but right after we ordered the first one, she said “okay, for both of you,” then rushed off and brought us two of the same drink.

I have never had a better dining experience. Ambience is beautiful, food is not only delicious and satisfyingly filling but also plated beautifully. The service was amazing too, our server Kim/Kimchi was so kind and welcoming. I highly suggest this restaurant for those who want a lovely and relaxed fine dining experience :)

Good food, but not worth the price in my opinion. Several appetizers are priced almost the same as the main dishes, which was confusing. When we asked if we could order a couple to share, we were told the portions wouldn’t be enough, which felt disappointing given the cost. Each of us ordered a drink, a main dish, and a shared dessert, and it still came to over $60 per person before tip. That said, our waiter was excellent at introducing the dishes and explaining the menu.

This restaurant is amazing! I went there last night for the first time. Food was delicious and very well presented, decor of the place was beautiful, warm and welcoming. Our waiter Francisco was incredibly friendly and experienced! My friend and I had an amazing time and will definitely return. Would strongly recommend 🙂! If I could describe this place in one simple sentence, I would say this: Fancy restaurant with yummy food and without the snobby attitude! Muchas gracias!
