Boveda San Augustin - Arequipa

We chose this place for tea because of the great views of the square, and we weren't disappointed in these. I had steak and my partner a cheese potato mean(I forget the name) The food was average, good but nothing special. The only let...down was the service. I had to get up to get her attention and we were only one of 3 couples eating there at the time. In all,great views, average food, poor service and medium price range for Peru.

As it was one of the plaves open at 7 im the morning I went in to have breakfast here. Nice interior but the food was poor. I ordered American breakfast with fried egs and coffee. Both were lukewarm and I was able to eat...my eggs only because I was starving after a 10 hour bus ride. Avoid if you have got other choices.

Went there for dinner, chose the restaurant mainly for the upstairs view of the Plaza de Armas. That is the only good thing going for them. The service is lousy, non-existent, the inside decor is outdated and dark. Had a pisco sour, beer, rocoto relleno...and trout.The food took a while to arrive, luckily we were enjoying the view, and listening to a pair of musicians who happened to stop by to play a few songs, unfortunately the entertainment did not last long. I have been wanting to eat a good rocoto relleno and this was my only chance- it was disgusting to say the least. I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone, and will not be going back again.

This was not a good experience... quite the opposite... The interior looks great, but don't be fooled! We had breakfast, the food was disgusting (strange bland bread and cold scrambled eggs), the coffee was rubbish (one sip was enough to warn you against a second),...and the service was average... After we had endured as much as we could handle of the food/drink, we heard a couple of screams from the kitchen which we assumed was the discovery of a rat/cockroach (based on the staff checking under the oven)... we left soon after annoyed we ever entered the place! Be warned if you decide to go!

We ordered a pasta dish and a plateful of chicken wings, and after half an hour we wondered if they had managed to find any chickens to de-wing. When the food finally arrived it was good. The point of visiting this restaurant/cafe however is to...be in this glorious plaza. It is not expensive, but come what may it is worth just sitting in such a setting.
