Causas Peru - Neuehrenfeld

This is a good place to be have a flashback of peruvian food. All tastes authentic, the pisco sour is good as is the lomo saltado or the starters. Bedt of all: Peruvians go here to eat, the best sign for authenticity.

Peruvian cuisine is becoming more established now an this place shows its quality. The ceviche, causas, chicha and mazamorra moradas are great. So are the anticuchos and pisci sour. The lomo saltado tastes good but the Argentinian meat doesn't belong there. Otherwise great food, atmosphere (music a bit too loud sometimes) and friendly service.

I will be straight forward with this. Having spent many years in Peru I was very but very disappointed of this restaurant. I was actually looking forward to try this place but as soon as you come in the place feels cold and kind of ''they put whatever they found'' in a place just to make it happen. Now, the pisco sour was Ok...very little pisco in it...shame for the price of 7.90EUR. We asked for starter some yucas which they never brought to us and they went straight to the main course. Lomo saltado and the famous Aji de gallina...it was the worst two dishes I have ever tried inside and outside Peru. It was an insult to peruvian cuisine. I was so angry that I had to ask the waiter if the cheffs were peruvian or not...according to our waiter (who was spaniard) that cheffs were peruvian...you figure out... but for me the food was from a scale of 1/10 a solid 3. Service was also very lazy, unfriendly and in general this place lacks any charm. When I let the waiter know that food was not really up to peruvian standards (which is not very difficult to reach as peruvian food is very simple and with generous ingredients) he didn't take the critics very well...too bad for him and of course no tip was left. It is a shame that in Cologne there is still not a solid offer of peruvian food for the german palate...only to be found still in Europe only in Spain, London and maybe Italy.I do not recommend this place...and come on guys be real...those prices are an insult...you can eat much better peruvian fare for those prices at Tanta in Madrid...

A nice place, the food was good but nothing more. The atmosphere was a bit 'cold'. It is very unlikely that I'll go back, but definitely it is worth to try.

So far the best peruvian restaurant in Cologne. Its a little far from the turist scene but so worth it. i had teh empanadas as appetizer, which were very good. I ordered the chicken cause which was awesome. Make sure you order yuca frita. Yummm. The drinks were a little expensive but overall worth it.
