; Conquistadores 490; mains S23-69;
noon-5pm)
A mainstay of impeccable service and renowned ceviches with innovative
twists. Try the
ceviche de mariscos a los tres ajíes,
a stack of mixed fish and shellfish
bathed in three types of hot pepper sauce. The menu also features heaping rice and other
seafood dishes, including a recommended
parrilla marina
(seafood grill).
CEVICHE

; Conquistadores 958; mains S30-40; 11am-5pm)
Another great seafood restaurant (it's been around for 20 years), Punta Sal serves at least
nine different kinds of ceviche. Try the assassin ceviche - a paradisiacal mix of octopus,
squid, crawfish, crab, flounder and mangrove cockles. Reader recommended.

With a full bar, this atmospheric fusion house
is a lively place for sushi that doesn't break the bank. But it's not for purists.
Maki
acevichado and butter rolls made with fried rice are playful nods to Peruvian influence.

Lima's top supermarket has
luscious arrays of meats, cheeses, vegetables, baked goods, prepared foods and even a
cafe.
SELF-CATERING
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. It's popular
with local families. There is antipasto, as well as a decent wine list strong on South Amer-
ican brands (from S40).
