Ache

Nikkei cuisine in Lima is a food lover’s delight, and Ache has been a staple of the scene for a decade. I ate here recently with a good friend of mine. I am not sure how we ended up there, perhaps it was destiny, or more likely he was settling a debt for a souvenir jubilee mug I’d brought back from England.

Located next to the Hilton hotel in Avenida La Paz, Miraflores, Ache is an excellent Japanese fusion restaurant that boasts an impressive menu. While the service was a bit sluggish, the food was very good, especially the Makis that I enjoyed.

What truly sets Ache apart is their creative and innovative dishes, such as the tantalizing duck ceviche. Though I didn’t have the chance to try it on this occasion, I’m already planning my return visit to savor this intriguing dish.

It was just a shame that the service was so slow. Still, I will give it four stars, Would have been 4.5 if the service had been more commensurate with the prices.
