We are long back from Lima by now, but I wanted to write down a quick take on a number of restaurants and coffee shops we visited on our summer 2017 trip. Bottom line here is that Lima has an amazing number of very high-quality dining options. All of the places mentioned here are good enough to recommend, though you'll see I'm much more excited about some than others. The coffee scene is still developing, but it has progressed markedly over the past couple years (our last visit was in 2015). All of the places I mention here are in what I would consider the top tier of coffee spots in Lima. There was no clear winner, but these are all worthy options. This list just scratches the surface. I'll perhaps add to it as I think of more places and make more return trips.
