This atmospheric spot is the only place in Trujillo to enjoy dinner (coupled with an amazing cocktail) on a 2nd-floor balcony – the wraparound number dates to the early 19th century. The food is upscale, featuring pasta and grills, and delicious. Antiques fuel the decor, from a 1950s-era American cash register to an extraordinary industrial-revolution pulley lamp from the UK.
While the food and ambience are great, it's the creative cocktails that really shine. Don't miss the classic chilcano (pisco, ginger ale and lime juice), souped up here with any number of twists (rocoto, ají limo, maracuya etc). Try to go after rush hour or on a weekend as, ambience notwithstanding, the streets below are noisy.
