Tarapoto

Tarapoto is a city in the San Martín region of northern Peru, characterized by Amazonian cloud forest and abundant palm trees. It's known for the many jungle waterfalls in its surrounding areas, including Ahuashiyacu, Huacamaíllo and Shapaja. Southeast of the city, the clear waters of Lindo Lake and the larger Sauce Lagoon (also called Blue Lagoon) are ringed by dense green forests teeming with birdlife.

What looked promised turned out sad. Nice location and at glance good service. The drink I ordered die not arrived even after asking for 4 times. We ordered house special grill mix and despite us confirming twice, the order of food was double which was visible only on the bill. The chicken was and meats were undercooked and in parts raw. While the waiter asked how we want our meat, I wasn't expecting that the chicken would be cooked medium 🤣 who does that? The rest of the meat was just meh Edit, as I'm sitting on the toilet with explosive outcome of this visit, felt right to change to one star. Good thing having Incafarm close bye.

The food was ok. The restaurant is a bit of a disorganised mess, particularly as you enter. The kitchen is open but all that shows is the kitchen needs a deep clean. It has more pleasant seating at the back.

Although La Collpa is pricier compared to other establishments, it's important to take into account the high quality of their service and the extraordinary view. These factors alone justify the higher cost. Additionally, the portions are generous and satisfying, and the flavors remain authentic. The only drawback may be that they struggle to serve all dishes simultaneously.
This Restaurant has a variety of local, regional and international food. I went for the G(C)ordon Blue and was not disappointed. Great and correct taste, loved it. Two of us chose the Lomo Saltado and loved it. And the chicken salad was convincing as well. A very friendly and comfortable restaurant with great food for every taste. We will definitely be back often.

It’s on a hill with a panoramic view. Paiche the fish with different suggestions was so lovely. They have an open kitchen. Nice, warm staff. It’s one of the good option in the city.

This was the most beautiful restaurant. The view from the dining area is absolutely breathtaking. The menu is incredibly large and the waiter was an absolute pleasure.

The view was amazing. But there was no air conditioner, just fan. And also plates was a little bit pricey if we compare with the other local restaurants. They have almost every different kind of fish. You can try variety of sauces here
Hafize Oz — Google review
Yes the place is more expensive than others... but come on, take into consideration the quality and level or service, the view which is unusual... and you have enough to say yes it deserves it! Also the portions are significant and more than enough, the taste is there and still authentic. -- The only thing that could disturb you is that they are not able to serve altogether. I ordered a tiradito, kind of ceviche, raw fish while my girlfriend went with a steam cooked fish. Well between 5 to 10 minutes between both plates... 🙄 -- Go, try... you will be happy to spend your money there and might even consider to come back to try another dish 😋

Stopped by for an afternoon drink. Amazing views of the surrounding landscape with a very tranquil vibe. Nice and attentive staff.

Go for the view and be careful what you order . The chicken was very tough. Even the river shrimp was tough! We couldn’t we it. We didn’t make the waiter fix it in the first 5 minutes we had it, so we had to pay. Now the cats in the park will have something to eat.

The Italian restaurant Chalet Venezia offers exceptionally delicious cuisine, along with warm and skilled customer service, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Their menu features a delectable 1A Filet Mignon dish priced at 37 Bolivianos, complemented by a generous Big Cusquena beverage for 9 Bolivianos. Additionally, they offer various other enticing dishes ranging between 20 and 40 Bolivianos.
The service here was absolutely amazing. The selection on the menu is great and the food is impeccable. I will definently be back here again! They have a decent kids menu for a good price. Desserts are to die for. Wish I was not leaving Tarapoto in 2 days. If I could rate then higher than a 5 star I would.

Iconic restaurant in Tarapoto. Nice terrace with constant mototaxi traffic on the street but with acceptable noise level. The service was excellent for the jungle. I ordered a filet mignon and the steak came out cooked to my order and was tender and good; however, the food temperature was lower than it should have been as if it took a while to bring it to the table. The veggies were crispy and good but a bit oily and room temperature. I found the patato portion too big.

Good friendly service. Food was a letdown - watery Alfredo sauce and moist fries. Nice atmosphere though

Been here two times. Italian owner but am not sure if he eats in his own restaurant often. I found the food mediocre. Pizza was undercooked. Pastas are either underseasoned or salty. Bit of hit and miss. They do have a traditional pizza oven and the atmosphere is excellent.

Beautiful place, the decor is just amazing and romantic. Loved it! Plus the food and sangria were delicious. If you plan on going there for a romantic diner, make sure to call ahead and ask for the special romantic table... :)

The salmon carpaccio and palmito salad were good. Unluckely the pizza was horrible. Not just a very bad choice of cheese but the whole mix didnt match at all, also apparently not having any salt on it.. This would have been forgetable but the attention needs improvement: Specially a nogo is the waitress sneezing inside the open Menu before handing it over..
Sam Main — Google review
Unexciting food, presented in a lackluster manner with indifferent service. Despite what I considered fairly high prices when I asked for a piece of bread with my ravioli (which was a fairly small portion, I might add) they wanted me to order bread. Ridiculous. Stay away there are better places in town to spend your money.

The go to pub in Tarapoto. Legendary atmosphere. And if you're not in the mood for stoni then one of its neighbor pubs will sort you out. Don't ask your taxi or Moto to take you to stonewasi. Ask them to take you to la piedra.

its always ok for me, but would be great if they would promote THE local bands, and not just the most pop ones
