SEGUNDO MUELLE $$$
( 421-1206;
www.segundomuelle.com
;
Conquistadores 490; mains S23-69; noon-5pm)
A main-
stay of impeccable service, this longtime
cevichería
is known for its innovative twists -
such as
ceviche de mariscos a los tres ajíes,
a stack of succulent seafood bathed in a three-
chili sauce.
ANTICA $$
( 222-9488; Av 2 de Mayo 732; mains S24-42; noon-midnight)
On a street littered with
European restaurants, this is one of the most reasonable: a woody, candle- bedecked spot
serving house-made pastas, gnocchis and pizzas from a wood-fired oven. Popular with
families.

CENTRAL $$$
| Novo Andino
( 242-8515;
www.centralrestaurante.com.pe
;
Santa Isabel 376; mains S52-88; 1-3pm & 8-11:30pm
Mon-Fri, 8pm-midnight Sat)
Currently the toast of Lima, Central's chef, Virgilio Martínez,
spent a decade in the top kitchens of Europe and Asia before coming home to Lima. His
charred octopus starter is a star and Peruvian classics like suckling pig dazzle, reinvented
with pears, mustard and
tomate de arbol
(tree tomato). Sustainable fish and a rooftop herb
garden enhance the ultrafresh appeal. Reservations highly recommended.
EL ENANO $
( Chiclayo 699; sandwiches S7-10; 6am-3am)
Grab a stool at the open-air counter and watch
masters making fresh-roasted chicken, ham, turkey and
chicharrón
(pork crackling) sand-
wiches on French bread dressed with marinated onions and chilis. If you've had one too
many piscos, these will cure what ails you.
