The 26 Best Restaurants In Lima - Lima - The Infatuation
"If you want to know what we eat in Lima homes or on special occasions, Isolina, by chef José del Castillo in honor of his mother, is where to go. Their menu showcases the deepest flavors of the Limeño criollo repertoire, built on a foundation of onion, garlic, and yellow chili pepper base that runs through nearly every dish. Always present is an ají de gallina, brought to life with bread soaked in broth and different types of chili, and the most traditional cebiche, served with octopus chicharrón and sweet potato. Isolina is a laid-back happy place that embraces the city’s spirit, featuring wooden tables and chairs, vintage tiles, and the charm of a revived old neighborhood tavern." - paola miglio
