Demo - Review - Barranco - Lima - The Infatuation

"Demo, from the Mérito chef, falls in line with the bright all-day cafés that are gaining prominence in Lima. This one blends Venezuelan and Peruvian influences, with corn cachapas filled with soft cheese, sweet arepas served with creamy avocado, natilla, or eggs benedict, and crispy tequeños. The sandwiches on sourdough bread, with smoky bacon or goat cheese, hummus enriched with tender peanuts from Tarapoto, are next level. As are the salads, like chicken with the native jungle fruit cocona. Demo is a minimalist space where the inviting aroma from the oven creates a cozy ambiance. The terrace, warm in summer and cozy in winter, is the best place on weekday mornings." - Paola Miglio
