La Casona
La Casona Restaurant
A second-floor restaurant in a historic house on Jirón Lima, specializing in alpaca tenderloin and quinoa soup, praised for its generous portions and good value.
Located on the second floor of Jirón Lima 423, inside a colonial-style historic house with warm decor and a cozy atmosphere. The specialties are alpaca tenderloin, quinoa soup, and trout dishes, such as trout with a kiwicha crust, alongside grilled meats, guinea pig (cuy), and vegetarian options. Reviews from 2026 mostly praise the large portions and reasonable prices, though a few older reviews found the food average. It gets very busy during peak dinner hours, so reservations are recommended. The average cost is about 40–60 PEN per person; a tourist menu for around 30 PEN was previously offered, but prices should be confirmed on-site. It is about a 3-minute walk from Plaza de Armas along Jirón Lima.
