Have been to Lima twice. Second time was just two weeks ago. Haven't eaten at any of the places you mentioned but can recommend La Rosa Nautica (on the beach in Miraflores) for spectacular seafood and ocean views. We really enjoyed our dinner there on our first visit - alas we were too lazy to go back this time.

 

This visit, we had an excellent lunch at Amankaya, a few blocks from the main drag in Miraflores two weeks ago. Imagine their dinner is just as good.

 

You can find ceviche everywhere. We satisfied our craving by just walking around LarcoMar and finding a place on the cliffside that looked popular. It was delicious.

We only had one night so I most chose 😢. What did you like about each? Would you recommend one over the other, and if so which one?

 

thanks.

Be sure to eat some cuy while you are there.  It's a specialty.

I agree with Lirio.  You must dine at Central since you're only in Lima for one night.

I’m going to try for Central. Reservations open in November. No specific date yet. I plan to practice on August 15 when the next reservation block opens up. 
 

by the way all 4 of these are on the 50 best list :

 

1 Central

6 Maido

28 Kjolle (chef is the wife of the husband and wife team at Central)

47 Mayta

 

Too bad we aren’t ther long enough to try them all.

Let us know how it goes!  
 

Remind me, how far in advance can one book?  I need to set a date in my calendar.  Plus, I want to enjoy the full MIL experience too.

They book once a quarter. Here is the latest from their website. I assume, but do not know for sure, that reservations open at midnight. I’m going to research that and will post. 
*Months of October, November and December 2023 will be available for reservations on August 15th

Not if you had one growing up as a pet, and you named it.  No way.

I'm sure that they would be only distant cousins, at best.

Also take a look at Rafael. Calle San Martin 300, Miraflores.

Astrid & Gaston. So good. Have been there twice and will go again when the Nova stops there in December.
