Another restaurant by the chef, Gaston Acurio. Excellent dishes at great prices. Everything here is good, but if I would recommend only one dish, it would be the "Lomo Saltado". In regards to drinks, it is a must to try "Pisco Sour". Also a 5 minute walk from our house, found at the end of the red pathway of the park.

My favorite sushi restaurant in Lima! In Lima you will find a very unique and interesting fusion of Japanese-Peruvian sushi. If you love sushi and Peruvian food, then you absolutely must try the "Acebichado Roll" which is supposed to be a ceviche-infused roll. There are plenty more to explore though!

One of my favorite bars to go get drinks in Lima. You will find a multitude of unique drinks made with Pisco here. None will disappoint! The place is very unique as well as the bar is in a very impressive old colonial mansion from back in the day.

Another one of my favorite places to have drinks in Lima. This place specializes in Pisco sours flavored with all sorts of different fruits, each tastier than the next! The place gets pretty packed on the weekends so make sure to not get there too late as space is limited.
