What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Mawic Restaurant is celebrated for its exceptional Peruvian and Nikkei fusion cuisine, with many diners calling its ceviche and chicha morada the best they've ever had. The passionate chef and use of fresh, local ingredients shine through in every dish, complemented by a beautiful riverside ambiance and attentive service from the owners. However, there have been reports of inconsistent service and communication issues, particularly regarding booking and cancellation policies.
"I spent almost a week in Peru between Ollantaytambo, Aguas Calientes, and Lima. I had ceviche and chicha morada every day of my trip (sometimes twice), and I can confidently say that hands down, Mawic is the BEST. No ceviche or chicha morada even closely rivaled Mawic’s. This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life."

"Great place with a very sweet waiter. The cocktails were great and the trout I had was a feast. I recommend this place, you’ll love it♥️"

"A lovely place for dinner alongside the river. We walked in and were seated immediately. Service was great with Spanish/English menus & the food matched. The juice portions could be a sharing size (so we took the extra to go). Definitely recommend the ceviche & alpaca with Gorgonzola."
