My Top 3 Favorite Places in Lima Isolina offer traditional Peruvian cuisine, just like you'd find at a grandmother's house. Everything is simply amazing! Tip: If you don't have a reservation, try going for lunch right at noon or between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. For dinner, it's best to arrive at 6 p.m. or after 10 p.m.

El Bolivariano

A great spot for lunch and plenty of pisco sours (trust me, you’ll want more than a few!). It's like a "Peruvian cantina." I recommend going with a group so you can order a variety of dishes to share and enjoy drinks together. It’s an amazing place to spend a laid-back afternoon.

Osaka

Best sushi place in town

Osaka Pardo y Aliaga

@sharongabel

My favorite sushi spot in town! Nikkei cuisine perfectly blends Peruvian and Japanese flavors. My go-to dishes are the Carpassion, tuna and quinoa ceviche, foie gras nigiri, Japanese meat nigiri, and the concha with truffle nigiri. Honestly, the dishes here outshine the rolls. The drinks are amazing too! While it’s a bit fancy, you can still dress casually. Pro tip: If you don’t have a reservation, ask for a seat at the bar or go early—around noon for lunch or 7 p.m. for dinner.

Chifa Titi

‌My Top 3 Favorite Places in Lima

Best chifa (chinese and peruvian fusion) in Peru

TITI

@sharongabel

The best chifa in Lima! This spot offers a fantastic fusion of Peruvian and Chinese cuisine. My go-to orders are pato pekinés, arroz chaufa, tallarín saltado, and sopa wantán. Everything is truly delicious! While it’s a bit more expensive than a typical chifa, it’s completely worth it. I recommend making a reservation beforehand, as it tends to get quite busy.

It's known for its high-quality bread and focus on natural ingredients. They offer a variety of sourdough breads, sandwiches, pastries, and locally sourced, high-quality coffee.
