San Francisco 225; mains S6-14; 7am-midnight Sun-Wed, 24hr
Thu-Sat)
Part of an ever-expanding Ottoman empire, this funky little joint serves a hungry
crowd late-night kebabs and vegetarian Middle Eastern salads, with excellent coffee and
sweet pastries during the day.
Inkari Pub Pizzeria $
(Pasaje Catedral; pizzas from S14; 8am- midnight)
You're pretty much guaranteed to
meet a gringo at this predictably popular place behind the cathedral which pampers to
Western palates with a happy-hour special of a personal pizza and a
copa de vino
(glass of
wine) for S14.
PIZZERIA
PERUVIAN
Manolo's $
(Mercaderes 107 & 113; mains S10-30; 7:30am-midnight)
Seeing double? Well, yes,
actually. There are two Manolo's 20m apart in Arequipa's pedestrianized shopping thor-
oughfare, Calle Mercaderes. Shagged-out shoppers find it hard to resist the hiss of the cof-
fee machine and the glint of the glass display case stuffed with thickly sliced cakes.
Café Restaurant Antojitos de Arequipa $
(Moran Cuadra 1; mains S14-32; 24hr)
Unadulterated, unrefined Arequipan favorites
served on the corner of the main square with zero pampering to tourist palates. Home in
on the
rocoto relleno
and anything else with potatoes in it. The same menu is served at
Restaurant at the Top around the corner for slightly inflated prices (due to the view).
CAFE
Mixtos $
(Pasaje Catedral 115; mains S15-36; 11:30am-9:30pm)
Tucked away in the alley be-
hind the cathedral on the Plaza de Armas is this popular and quaint restaurant that serves
mainly Italian and
criollo
(spicy Peruvian fare with Spanish and indigenous influences)
seafood dishes. Try the enormous and flavorful
sudado de pescado
(fish stew) while en-
joying the view from the outdoor balcony.
