Café Suisse (La Tiendecita Blanca)

Frommer's Review

This classic old-style cafe, a Lima institution since 1937, is decorated with cool enamel doors and staffed by waitresses in folkloric red-and-white dresses. It's best known for its exquisite pastries, cakes, breads, and gourmet food shop, but "the little white store" is also a good little restaurant, perfect for lunch and even breakfast. Choose from fresh-baked quiches, empanadas (turnover pastries served stuffed or empty), and sandwiches, or go Swiss with a fondue for two. There's a daily four-course lunch menú de la casa for $12. Of course, if you spot that long counter bursting with homemade desserts, you might be unable to resist spoiling your meal.
