They also have ice cream and vegan kekes. A jewel in downtown Lima, they serve good portions and at a good price. You also have a set menu of the day.

The first time, I think some of the things we wanted were unavailable so we had pesto spaghetti with Milanese and we thought it was really tasty. So much so, we wanted to return, and ended up having our last meal in South America here too. It did not disappoint. The pesto was still equally delicious, with a slightly different Milanese. The mushroom ceviche was great and actually had a spicy kick to it! The food takes a while to come out, demonstrating it is prepared to order. We also loved people watching up here as it is essentially a food court.

We had the «Bandeja Paisa», which is a plate with many small Colombian dishes; and the Fetuccini Huancaína, which is pasta with huancaína sauce accompanied with «portobello» mushrooms and vegetables. It was underwhelming, unfortunately, the first one was rather dry (even with the sauces), and, while it tasted good, it was very basic. For the second one, it was also yummy; but it was disappointing that it didn't have portobello but rather simple mushrooms. Added to the extremely long waiting time (we were the only ones there), it was not the best experience we had in Lima. However, they did have a lunch set which was prepared quicker (but was less interesting). If you're in a hurry, I'd suggest getting that one. Otherwise, get the «saucy» dishes, they seem to be better! They are located in the 2nd floor, all the way to the back (you'll need to go through many people who will try to get you into their restaurants while you walk). There are a few plastic tables, so it's not the coziest place to eat either; but I appreciate them having a fully vegan stand in this shopping center, so I hope they'll stay!
