If you’re feeling fancy, this is a particularly lovely spot. I felt like it was a fun place to go after a day of shopping. But it is on the high-end price-wise. Delicious is an understatement.

Love this place! It’s a local spot that is a Peruvian fusion restaurant. Amazing ceviche, chaufa and lomo saltado but the Asian fusion items, like the dragon roll, were sooo delicious!

If you’re feeling fancy, this place is impressive. Everything you would expect from a Michelin star level restaurant. The French onion soup is to die for… but that’s just the beginning. Must try atleast once!
