Barranco is a warm, casual yet sophisticated, full-service restaurant serving modern Peruvian cuisine from Chef Carlos Altamirano made with high-quality and responsibly sourced ingredients. Inspired by the romantic seaside district of Barranco in Lima, Peru, Barranco is dedicated to creating an outstanding eating and drinking experience with a spirit that is laid-back and approachable.
Inspired by its namesake, Barranco’s menu offers seafood, family-style tapas and a select number of main dishes. In addition to a ceviche bar, Barranco’s menu features bocaditos (small bites) such as Scallops Carlitos and Langostinos Crocantes (prawns), grilled anticuchos (meat skewers), pollo a la brasa (traditional Peruvian rotisserie chicken), classic Peruvian sandwiches, an assortment of delectable sides and, for dessert, Alfajores, the popular Latin-American artisanal cookies.
Barranco’s beverage program features pisco, the traditional spirit of Peru.

    My sister and our little brother got together for lunch at Barranca. It was our first time at this restaurant in Lafayette, CA, but it won’t be our last. Our server, Celine, was excellent! We each had a Guava Cava cocktail, and it was delicious!! We were given a complimentary order of their potato chips that were so thin and crispy that they melted in our mouths. Our main dishes were splendid, and the dessert was sublime! I can’t say enough good things about Barranca.
