In an 18th-century building, this very simple and unusual eatery is run by French Carmelite nuns. Expect French and other continental specialties (think coquilles St Jacques) with Peruvian influences. The food isn’t jaw-dropping, but the real reason to come is to enjoy the strange serenade. Every night, after dinner (at around 9pm), the nuns gather to sing ‘Ave Maria.’

Anticuchos like beef-heart skewers are a revered street-food snack for Limeños, and Tia Grimanesa sizzles up some of the tastiest in the city. Starting out with a humble food cart, her succulent garlic-, onion- and vinegar-marinated meaty lollipops were so popular, she was able to open a brick-and-mortar spot. Grimanesa devotees anxiously await opening time—5 p.m.—to snap up a portion, teamed with boiled potatoes perfect for mopping up excess juices. It's usually standing room only, so prepare to lick those fingers clean.

Lima’s original haute-cuisine establishment was founded by Peru’s gastronomic godfather, Gastón Acurio, and pastry chef wife Astrid Gutsche. The owners tacked on Casa Moreyra to the original name, Astrid & Gaston, after moving to the stunning 17th-century hacienda in San Isidro in 2013. Acurio is back in the kitchen, paying tribute to traditional Peruvian fare such as guinea pig, ceviche, and suckling pig, with his exemplified contemporary style—every dish has a backstory. The elaborate tasting menu comes with white-tablecloth treatment and a hefty price tag; if you prefer something more relaxed, grab a spot at La Barra.

This hipster bakery and coffeehouse is the trendiest spot for a caffeine injection and carb intake in Miraflores, if not all of Lima. Its warehouse-chic interior—wood meets stainless steel—and open kitchen houses a wood-burning oven from which dozens of wholegrain loaves, sourdough, and focaccia emerge daily. While El Pan de la Chola will flawlessly fuel you up for a day’s sightseeing, you can also stop by for a light lunch of goat-milk cheese and roquette or caprese sandwiches, or at teatime for a blueberry tart and caffe latte. The real treat? The care shown for raw ingredients shines through in La Chola's handcrafted products.

One of the oldest Italian restaurants in Lima. For my money you won’t find better non-Peruvian food in Lima than at Blue Moon (English site), the historic Italian restaurant founded by Santino Balleta in 1966.
Blue Moon offers an old-world taste and ambiance in the heart of Lince, just north of Parque Mariscal Castilla (aka “Touring”).
What makes Blue Moon unique from most Italian restaurants, at least most Italian restaurants in the United States, is the dedication to wild game meats. The menu offers several pheasant, rabbit and deer dishes.

Step back in time to experience the ambience of a classic gentlemen’s club at the Country Club Hotel’s suave drinking establishment. El Bar Ingles started serving drinks in 1927, and the bow-tied bartenders here still whip up some of the best pisco sours in the city. Grab a stool at the bar to watch mixologists hard at work, and enjoy the steady flow of guests and upper-crust regulars passing through. Need a pick-me-up that’s not a sour? Order the Bloody Country, the watering hole's pisco version of a Bloody Mary.

he Queirolo Tavern is an institution in Lima. They have 2 locations, one near the Main Square in downtown and the other in the historical area of Pueblo Libre. Maybe Pueblo Libre is not part of your list of places to visit, but a detour to this place is worth it.
As its name suggests, they serve drinks and food. Queirolo produces their own Pisco, our national liquor. And they offer some pisco cocktails, actually their pisco sour was chosen the best one year ago. But the highligh is the "Res" which is a bottle of Pisco, a bottle of ginger ale and some limes to fix your own Chilcano, very good idea!
Also they serve tasty and home made Peruvian food. You need to eat something if you are drin

Open since 1821, this hotel’s bar proudly declares that Peru’s most famed drink, the pisco sour, was invented here. True or not—Morris Bar also claims the same accolade—bartenders serve up an excellent version of the cocktail (made from pisco, limes, and foamy egg whites) in a wood-paneled room. Given its central location a stone’s throw from bustling Plaza Mayor, the Maury is a calming spot after a long day of sightseeing.
