Los Escribanos

Frommer's Review

On one of Lima Centro's more appealing streets, a tiny pedestrian passageway near the Plaza de Armas, this unassumingly elegant two-story eatery has an attractive terrace with outdoor tables. Popular with local businessmen and travelers who trickle out of the tourism information office next door, it offers particularly good deals at lunch (with bargain platos únicos and a fixed-price menu that's served until 9pm). The evening menu lists plenty of criollo and seafood plates from the Peruvian coast, including gourmet dishes with pre-Columbian influences. At lunch, though, most people sit down to more standard fare, such as grilled trout and fettuccine Alfredo, served with a salad and beverage.
