It’s long been a dream of ours to share Lima with you all. While we hope to spend as much time together as possible, we also hope you’ll have time to explore on your own.

We’ve curated a list of dozens of our favorite places from cafés and restaurants to museums, parks, and shops. You can find the full version here on Google Maps and we’ve included a selection below as well. Of course, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

B’s favorites

The best restaurant in the world (literally)
Maido is just a couple blocks away from the hotel, it’s phenomenal. If you’d like to go, be sure to reserve early (they open reservations two months in advance).

We’ve always done a la carte and loved it, but if you’re a serious foodie, the tasting menu is also worth considering.


Cafés (all great for just coffee or full meals)
La Cristina
Pan de la Chola
Pan Sal Aire
Alanya Reposteria (for desserts!)


Best place for a long walk or run
El Olivar


Nikkei (Japanese x Peruvian)
Tomo Cocina Nikkei
Shizen Restaurante Nikkei
