CafeS & sandwich 

Known as “panaderias” and “pastelerias” or “cafés”, these are places where you can find something lighter to eat, such as a sandwich or salad.  In some sandwich places you can find the classic “butifarra”, which is a sandwich with homemade jam.  “Chicharron” sandwiches are also a classic fast-food staple for any time of day (although they are typically eaten for breakfast), made with thick slices of tender and juicy pork meat. Chicharron sandwiches are served on French bread and topped with fried sweet potato and salsa criolla made from red onion and lemon juice. Yes, all in the same bite!

• Antigua Taberna Queirolo. One of our favorites.  A classic restaurant that has kept the style of the old days, but now with a few more dishes   A bit far, but located close to Museo de Larco, so don’t miss it when you go to the museum.  https://antiguatabernaqueirolo.com/
