Gastronomic Photography Courses Arequipa Near Me

Joost de Groot: Unfortunately, not a very good experience. The class started late. During the class “experience” it was not clear what was going to be cooked. No recipes were provided to the people participating. Following we solely needed to cut some food preparing for the cooking which was done by the instructor and not by the participants. Cooking techniques were not clear. The dishes were not tasteful. All in all a strange and disappointing experience.

a.m.v.o villalobos: Good attention

Anna L: Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend!

Carl Mendes: GET MORE STAFF!The Bao buns were ok (tasted good though was luke warm). Though the time to be served by the waitress and the time for the food to be prepared by chefs was absolutely ridiculous.After eating the Bao buns, the waitress eventually came outside and when I went to order the Ceviche Green Curry, she said that it would take 45 MINUTES! That's a crazy amount of time for an appetiser.... the restaurant was only half full.Regarding the reviews around portion, I feel that for this kind of restaurant it was fine.

Gonzalo Bedoya: A labyrinthine walk at times, the colors surprised me, there are paintings from the Cusco school and frescoes in the galleries

Rocio del Pilar Sapo Solano: Excellent atention. They have a good location at a good price. With a very good organization. It has been nice staying here.

Hansel Rauter: Cleanliness and first class care

Annya Fiorella: Bad attention

gabriela zavala romero: Breakfast is ok! Clean rooms. Comfortable place.Room ventilation should be improved.

Ralph J.J. Thissen: Very good hotel, excellent location. Breakfast is OK. All combined you get very good value for your money.

Alexandre Menetre: Personnel hyper symapthique !!!

Andrew Betts: Just popped into the shop. Found the range a bit limited, and bought a 55% slab but found it too bitter for that.

May Muhtadi: We had a brilliant experience at CIRQA and it is undeniably the best hotel we stayed in Peru. It is the perfect place to unwind, relax and pamper yourself (especially after a tour or trek!). The attention to detail, from the architecture to the luxury amenities have been well thought of and makes this a truly unique hotel stay. I was also so impressed with the service as the staff are extremely attentive and friendly and really makes you feel well-looked after. They also gave us some great recommendations on places to go in the area and on excursions. We will definitely be coming back to stay here one day and also can’t wait to try out its sister hotel in Lake Titikaka.

Federico Martin Botta Aramburu: I loved the stay and the hotel seems excellent. I think they have a very good service, attention to detail and not to mention the gastronomy. I congratulate you for the great work you do daily! Today, more than ever after the pandemic, good service in hotels is noticeable.

Sharon Telesca Feurer: A thoughtful reimagining of a 1540 monastery, honoring its historic UNESCO protected site with contemporary touches. The decor is sublime. The staff, warm and welcoming. It is a respite in Arequipa a block or so from the center square.

Florian Faucher: Cet endroit est exceptionnel, le lieu est charmant , la décoration et les ´ matériaux sont soignés , le service est fantastique !Le restaurant est excellent , le petit déjeuner incroyableIls nous ont aidé pour tellement de choses.The Best place in town ! Je recommanderai cet endroit à tout le monde autour de moi…Le peu de critiques négatives qui existe sur ce lieu sont écrites par des gens sans goût qui ne comprenne pas le concept de Relais&Châteaux , des endroits historiques avec une âme ! Il faut donc accepter les tout petits défauts car c’est dans ces lieux que se créent les souvenirs et non dans les chaînes d’hôtel aseptisés !

Santiago Le Jeune: Fantastic stay at CIRQA, beautiful hotel a block away from the main square. The service was impeccable and the restaurant serves some of the best food in Arequipa in a secluded setting. Highly recommend the smoked trout for breakfast!

Alejandro Rodriguez: Brilliant architecture, great food and exceptional service!!!

Mikołaj Valencia: Restaurant - Charming place for a romantic supper or just wine. Nice food but way less charming than the place. Expensive wine selection. Nice and careful staff. Mixed feelings at the end.

Jia Jin Low: I knew it was going to be a great stay from the moment we were greeted at the airport. The driver handed us cold towels to cool off, and proceeded to fish out two bottles of cold mineral water for the short car ride to the hotel.The design of the hotel was beautiful as well. Architecturally, this is probably the most stunning hotel in Arequipa. The parador has a real sense of place, and there’s no mistaking which city you’re staying in when cooling off in the courtyard, surrounded by white walls. The only niggle was that the pool was really awkward — too small to properly swim in, it was like a plunge pool but out in public for all to see. Well, that and the fact that there’s no mechanised way to close the light vents on the ceiling of the room.There’s a generosity and attention to detail in the service that mark this as a true luxury hotel. Snacks and drinks were readily given when hanging out at the rooftop bar. Preferences for still/sparkling water were remembered. After checking out, they realised that we had left one pair of pants behind, and instantly sent a taxi driver to the airport to hand us that one pair of pants. We were safely reunited 🙂. My only service nitpick was that there was once where we were on the rooftop bar, but no one was there for 10mins. But it wasn’t a big issue, I helped myself to cookies.Overall, Cirqa was a good value considering what was provided, despite being the most expensive hotel in town. It’ll be my choice if I return to Arequipa.

Marialuz Vargas: Very tasty food, excellent service and a very nice place

Magali Rodriguez: Beautiful experience and very cozy luxury place.

Robert Yost: Incredible boutique hotel. Amazing staff and superior meals. Highly recommend!

Miquel Ramis Munar: The hotel is located in a former convent in the city of Arequipa. The hotel preserves its white volcanic stone block walls and integrates modern touches without breaking with tradition.The hotel is associated with Relais & Chateu and meets expectations. The service is excellent, to highlight the waitress Alejandra. The hotel restaurant is also very good.The location is unbeatable, very close to the city's main square.

Earth Explorer: Our stay at Cirqa was nice for sightseeing and having a cocktail there but definitely not for spending the night. A reasonable opinion from someone who travels a lot:The old monastery is an idyllic place but bad for your health in terms of rooms. The humid rooms spread a moldy air that hits your lungs.After contacting the manager, he was able to tell that this problem has been known from the beginning of the hotel's existence. Reason would be because they are old foundations. As long as this problem is not solved the customers are stuck with the misery and they not only pay a lot of money but also pay with their health.After 3 nights we felt so bad that we wanted to go somewhere else. Too bad business is more important than health because the hotel did not allow us to cancel the last 4th night. Cirqa wanted us to believe it was because of the altitude. We then went to a Belmond Hotel in Colca Canyon and after 1 night the difference was already positive even though Colca Canyon is higher!The restaurant is particularly noisy because the adjacent Church has some kind of fan that makes an immense noise non-stop.Furthermore, it has no spa.The masseurs are hired amateurs who clearly have no expertise. They are sweet but that's about it. Massaging on the bones is never okay.The pool unfortunately had a maintenance during our stay. But did look nice.Breakfast is limited and only until 9am. With much effort they wanted to stay open until 9:30.Electricity in the suite number 1 did not always work well. Some switches gave a short circuit, one time the lights worked, the other time not. Maybe the humidity had something to do with it too?Mirella at the reception is a rude lady who felt personally attacked and went to justify herself. Which was funny on the one hand but very inappropriate and amateurish. At first she didn't even want to give the contact details of her superior. Through another channel I did manage to receive it.The manager, Tias Rvas, was also of no use as she was hiding behind the policy of the hotel. Her solution was to give us European tourists a voucher within a month. As if we would return so soon. A false solution in other words.To end on a positive note, the restaurant staff was very friendly and helpful.The food in the restaurant was delicious.The hotel is a gem in photographs, good for on instagram. Hence, it is nice to have a drink there but that's about it.Best regards

Alonso del Carpio: Its luxury facilities show the typical architecture of the white city, with elements such as ashlar, stone floors, wood and iron details and furniture...a cozy atmosphere, highly recommended for a romantic dinner. Its menu is somewhat reduced but its flavor is exquisite and its presentation is very good, its prices for drinks are somewhat high, but they taste good, and with quality ingredients. The attention is very good, you will feel that they enjoy helping you with whatever you need, be encouraged to visit it.Safety: La puerta está normalmente cerrada y la calle no es muy segura por el tráfico y la ubicación, deberían tener la puerta abierta o el vigilante debería estar fuera para tranquilidad de quienes llegan al hotel. Si visitas el restaurante con vehículo es incómodo, ya que no tiene estacionamiento.Food & drinks: La cena fue excelente, buen sabor, precio promedio para un restaurante de lujo tipo gourmet, la porción es generosa en comparación con otros restaurantes gourmet, las bebidas un poco costosas, por ejemplo, un pisco sour 45 soles, y los postres no tan buenos, no son su especialidad.Noteworthy details: Un excelente servicio y atención de lujo.
