El lugar es increíble, la comida 10/10 y las bebidas ni que decir, vine por la promo nanitos después de ver la película y me encantó, nos regalaron una libreta muy bonita, el ambiente y la música ayudaron mucho a tener una excelente experiencia. Sin lugar a duda el mejor lugar que van a conocer.

No soy mucho de café pero fue deliciosa la experiencia sin duda volveré, recomiendo sus croissant que son muy crocantes, y ni hablar de los pie's las masas son contundentes y usan una mantequilla exquisita. La atención muy fresca y el ambiente cálido.

Great Place with very good coffee and pastries. As previously mentioned - not easy to find - but it is so worth it to visit the cafe and super friendly staff. We have ordered Americanos and some sweet croissants and they were super tasty. If we ever visit Arequipa again definitely gonna visit them and their little patio :).

The place is super calm and nice, as a tourist not so easy to find, but as a hint it is in the second patio of the institute to learn French “Alliance Francaise”. They have really a big variety of good drinks. I had an amazing Chirimoya (Peruvian fruit) frappe. Some good croissants, unfortunately few options of sandwiches but good coffees. Service is fine but could be better, a bit more friendly and coming to check more often to the tables would be nice. Cute and calm place to work. There are plugs.

A truly delightful experience. The matcha was delicious, the food exquisite, and the atmosphere so peaceful. You can feel the love and art in every detail . I’ll definitely be coming back! If you’re visiting downtown, you can’t miss this hidden gem. It’s always the right time to visit Matisse. The waiters are super friendly and always happy to share great recommendations
