The lomo saltado was the real deal. Beef came out juicy, still sizzling, and the fries soaked up all that sauce. Ceviche was fresh too, lime just right. Upstairs seating was fine, nothing special. Mocktails were okay, maybe a bit sweet for my taste. Solid spot for Peruvian food, no complaints about the flavors.

Stopped by for a quick coffee after walking across the Bridge of Sights. Algarrobina latte was sweet, almost dessert-like. Server spoke English, which made ordering easy. Place has a nice view, though it was a bit busy mid-afternoon. Fine for a short break, not somewhere I&#39;d camp out for hours.

The grilled prawns were seriously good&mdash;like, I&rsquo;d order them again in a heartbeat. Service was friendly too, and the place felt relaxed, no fuss. I liked that I could just sit back and enjoy my meal without any hassle. Maybe a tiny wait for the food, but it didn&rsquo;t bother me much.

The lomo sandwich with melted cheese and caramelized onions really hit the spot. Bread was soft, meat was juicy. Fries were okay, a few slices came out too thick for me. Staff got my order out fast and even brought extra sauces without me asking. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something quick.

The ceviche was spot on&mdash;fresh, tangy, just right. Had it with a chilcano and honestly the pairing made the whole thing better. Arroz con mariscos looked great too, though I didn&#39;t get to it this time.

The cappuccino here had a nice rich roast, not too milky. I liked that the cookie came with it, simple touch. Outdoor seating was fine, cozy enough. I just wish the coffee had been a bit hotter when it arrived. Still, a decent spot to sit for a while.

Dropped by for a late lunch and honestly the menu is massive. I went with the duck and it was pretty solid, cooked well and not dry. Portions are generous too, I couldn&#39;t finish mine. The chicha morada tasted freshly made, not from a bottle. Place was busy but we got a table right away. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

We came for the risotto and it didn&rsquo;t disappoint&mdash;super creamy and full of flavor. Right next to Huaca Pucllana, so easy to find. A bit touristy, but honestly the pasta was solid. Good spot if you&rsquo;re hanging with friends.

The Francesca gelato was pretty good &mdash; rich chocolate, nice texture. They&#39;ve got some interesting local flavors too. Worth stopping by if you&#39;re in the area.

The salmon with capers and creamy risotto was spot on. Moist, flavorful, exactly what I wanted. A&ccedil;ai bowl had plenty of toppings too.

Portions were solid for the price&mdash;left full without feeling ripped off. Got the seafood platter and it hit the spot. Service was quick too. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The food really carried the whole meal. Had the lomo saltado and it was solid, cooked right, good flavor. Tables and stuff feel a bit worn, but honestly I didn&#39;t care much once the plates arrived. Place gets busy but it&#39;s fine. Just wish the chairs were a bit more comfy, that&#39;s all.

The chicken fried rice and wonton soup hit the spot&mdash;came out fast and tasted like proper chifa classics. Place felt clean and safe, though the welcome at the door was a bit cold. Slightly pricey for the portion, but I&rsquo;d come back for the food. A crisp pisco sour would&rsquo;ve paired nicely with the fried rice.

The duck fried rice was solid&mdash;plenty of pieces of duck, not just a few sad shreds. For the price, the portion felt fair, which is rare around here. Place is huge and loud though, so not the spot if you want a chill dinner. Service kept up fine despite the crowd. I&rsquo;d come back for that rice when I&rsquo;m hungry and don&rsquo;t mind the noise.

The ceviche here was seriously good&mdash;fresh fish, nice kick of lime, and the red onion on top was crisp. One of the better ones I had in Lima. Price is a bit higher than other spots, but the portion felt fair. Place was busy when I went, but the food came out quick enough.

Prices are a bit steep for the area, but the food is solid and the place feels calm. Coffee was good too. Menu has everything from salads to Peruvian classics. Fair enough for what you get.

Ramen was light and the broth had good flavor. Sushi tasted fresh too. Bit pricey for what you get, but I&#39;d probably come back if I&#39;m craving Japanese.

The grilled octopus was the standout. Tender, smoky, just the right amount of salt. Portion size was solid for the price. Place gets packed by noon, so get there early or you&#39;ll wait. That&#39;s about it.

The empanadas came out pretty small, honestly. But the coffee and desserts are the move here&mdash;I grabbed a slice of cake and it was solid. Shakes were way too sweet for me though. Service was fine, nothing special. I&#39;d come back just for the dessert part.

Pasta portions are solid for the price. Wine list has some cheap picks that don&#39;t suck. Got in and out fast enough for a lunch break.

The set lunch was solid and the Quiche Lorraine really stood out. Nice spot in an old building right by Plaza de Armas. Staff kept checking in even when it got busy.

Stopped by for a quick bite after walking around Miraflores. Outdoor seating was nice, not too noisy. Got the salchipapas&mdash;portion was big, plenty for two honestly. The house-made cold cuts made it better than the usual street version. Prices are fair for the area. Would come back if I&#39;m in the neighborhood again.
