Our Favorite Places in Peru

As we discover Lima, we're compiling a list of our favorite places, restaurants, parks, etc.  This list is for other travelers who may stumble upon the blog and are looking for recommendations on where to go and what to do in Lima.

Restaurants:

Antigua Bodega D
San Fernando 401
Miraflores, Lima
255-7047
Mediteranean- This is one our favorites, partly because it's in our neighborhood and is so convenient.  The food is excellent- our favorites are the cazuela, a hearty seafood stew, and the pecan pie.  The atmosphere is warm and intimate, staff is wonderful.

Vertical
Bolognesi 143
Miraflores, Lima
243-6513
Nuevo Peruvian- This restaurant is listed in tripadvisor as Oztia, but the name has been changed.  We dined at Vertical with a large group and had a great time.  The pisco sours were delicious, and the Osobuco was heavenly.  The staff was very friendly and helpful, nice atmosphere too.

Edo Sushi Bar
Berlin 601
Miraflores, Lima
243-2448
edosushibar.com
Sushi- Edo has an extensive menu with a variety of peruvian fusion sushi. There are not many raw maki options but they have raw sashimi and sushi. Fun and modern environment.


Parks:

Bosque de Olivar
The bosque is a beautiful park in San Isidro, full of old olive trees and a large coy fish pond.  Every time we have visited there have been lots of people out, relaxing in the grass, playing with their children or dogs.  It is a  rare quiet respite from the constant traffic noise in Lima.
