Lima — Where We Ate & Drank
We ate some of the trip's best meals in Lima—nikkei at Maido, ceviche at La Mar, sanguches at La Lucha—and explored 6 restaurants, 3 bars, 3 parks, and the glowing Huaca Pucllana ruins.
Lima fed us the trip's best-value world-class meals from its Miraflores clifftop: Maido's nikkei counter, ceviche at La Mar, sanguches at La Lucha between them. The Huaca Pucllana pyramid glows improbably among apartment blocks, and Barranco's murals fill a slow afternoon.
May through November is grey-sky season—the food does not care, and neither did we. We mapped 6 restaurants, 3 bars, 3 parks, a museum, and a few sights worth the detour between meals.
