"Espacio Lagom is one of my favorite places to eat in Arequipa. The maki acevichado is so delicious it's addictive! I also highly recommend the coconut latte."
Adri Silva
"Outstanding service! I have a few food intolerances and the staff was so helpful. Both the servers and the cooks came with great suggestions for swapping ingredients that would still enhance the taste of each roll as well as sauces that would match. I haven’t felt this comfortable eating at a restaurant in a long time. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone, but especially if you’re looking for a worry free lunch or dinner."
