Rafael

Rafael is one of Lima’s most enduring and accomplished fine dining destinations, led by chef Rafael Osterling, who has built a remarkable and distinctive culinary identity over more than two decades at the restaurant that bears his name. The menu blends Peruvian ingredients and culinary sensibility with Mediterranean and international influences, resulting in dishes of sophisticated flavour, confident technique, and genuine creative originality. Rather than following trends, Osterling pursues his own vision with consistency and integrity, drawing on the extraordinary diversity of Peruvian produce as well as the traditions of the broader culinary world he has absorbed through years of travel and experience. The elegant and comfortable dining room, thoughtfully designed and warmly lit, creates a refined atmosphere ideal for both special occasions and relaxed discovery. The wine list is notably curated and extensive. Rafael has long been a favourite of Lima’s most discerning diners and international visitors, valued for its consistency, personality, and the quality of its cuisine.
