;
sandwiches S3.50-9, pastries S1.50-5;
from 7am, closed Sun)
It's slow as dial-up, but excellent
paella,
sandwiches and rich
Spanish-style pastries and cakes are a hit at this little eatery. It also has the distinction of
benefiting the local Arco Iris Foundation, which helps children and young mothers.
Terracota Fusión $
(Sal y Rosas 721; mains S6.50-20)
This family-run
chifa
seems simple at first but a closer
look reveals a tastefully designed room with cutesy Asian-inspired lamps and a welcom-
ing, spic-and-span atmosphere. The cuisine isn't too salty - a refreshing about-face - and
the wealth of excellent dishes come sized for one (huge) or the whole family (ginormous).
CHINESE
Rossonero $
(Luzuriaga 645, 2nd fl; desserts S3.50-7.50; )
This modern den of decadence, billed as
a 'sofa-cafe,' is really more of an upscale dessert diner. We're talking numerous variations
of
tres leches
and cheesecakes, pecan pie and chocolate cake - you name it - and artisanal
house-made ice creams like
manjar blanco
(milk caramel) with cinnamon and port.
DESSERTS
Novaplaza $
(cnr Bolivar & Morales; 7am-11:30pm)
A good supermarket to pick up goodies for
trekking or self-catering.
SELF-CATERING
Drinking
Huaraz is the best place in this part of the Andes to take a load off and get pleasantly in-
ebriated.
Sierra Andina
(Centenario 1690;
www.sierraandina.com
; pint/pitcher S7/30; 3-10pm)
The
S5 taxi ride to Cascapampa is a small price to pay for the wares afforded at this genuine
microbrewery that brought suds salvation to Huaraz when it opened in 2011. Two Americ-
an beer enthusiasts from Colorado set up shop brewing golden, pale and amber ales as
well as a porter to the delight of beer hounds near and far.
