1735), resurrected via auction by a local team of brothers passionate about Trujillo. As far
as the cafe is concerned, expect excellent espresso, house-made desserts and tasty pizzas
and sandwiches, often sourced organically, that go down brilliantly in the airy courtyard
or in one of the several rooms lined tastefully with antique furniture. Whether you're here
for coffee, wine, sustenance or architectural oohing and aahing, it's an addictive spot.
Juguería San Agustín $
(Bolívar 526; juice S2-5; 8:30am-1pm & 4-8pm Mon-Sat, 9am-1pm Sun)
You can spot
this place by the near-constant lines snaking around the corner in summer as locals queue
for the drool-inducing juices, but don't leave it at that. The chicken (S6) and
lechon
(suck-
ling pig; S7) sandwiches, slathered with all the fixings, are what you'll be telling friends
back home about on a postcard.
JUICE BAR
Restaurant Demarco $$
(Pizarro 725; mains S10-45; 7:30am-11pm; )
An elegant choice with veteran
cummerbund-bound waiters who fawn over you like in the '40s, this tableclothed classic
offers a long list of sophisticated meat and seafood dishes along with good-value lunch
specials (S14.50) and pizzas. They have mouthwatering
chupe de camarones,
a seafood
stew of jumbo shrimp simmering in a buttery broth with hints of garlic, cumin and
oregano, and the desserts are excellent, from classic tiramisu to mile-high
tres leches
(a
spongy cake made with evaporated milk).
PERUVIAN
Chifa Heng Lung $$
(Pizarro 352; mains S10.50-42.50; to 11:30pm)
Owned by a Chinese family of veter-
an chefs, this vaguely upscale, tasty option packs a wallop of flavorful infusion for Peruv-
inized palettes. The menu is a predictable list of Cantonese dishes, but very long on op-
tions and flavors.
CHINESE
Café Bar Museo $
(cnr Junín & Independencia; mains S6-15, cocktails S18-22; closed Sun)
This locals'
favorite shouldn't be a secret. The tall, wood-paneled walls covered in artsy posters and
the classic marble-top bar feels like a cross between an English pub and a Left Bank cafe.
