We all know that seafood means healthy, and Peruvian seafood is very recommendable: we suggest Cala and La Rosa Nautica, both located at the beach; and also Pescados Capitales, in the nearby district of Miraflores.
If you love Mediterranean cuisine, Lima has some very nice places that fusion Mediterranean techniques and flavors with local ingredients, like La Gloria, Astrid y Gastón and Rafael. Malabar may also fit in this category, and its drinks are a must.
