El Bolivariano - Eat, Drink and Dance in a single one place

El Bolivariano is an oldfashioned restaurant that still conserves a traditional arquitecture since the Simon Bolivar's times. They said in their page they try to preserve the flavor of the antique peruvian cuisine and I agree very much. El Bolivariano is like a time machine not only for their very peruvian food, but for the decoration inside. You will find many rooms where to sit. The first one is the dining room "Manuelita"  in honor of Manuelita Saenz, Simon Bolivar's lover. The second one is the hall "Los Libertadores" (the liberators) where the party at night takes place, its capacity is for 250 people. The third room is La Pérgola, small and quite with a view to an antique Pisco machine and some botijas (botija is a container where the pisco get macerated). The fourth is the Boli-Bar,decorated as in the 19th century. And the last but not least, the hall Independencia a big room specially for events. They offer a buffet in lunch time until 4:30 pm with a huge variety of delicious peruvian dishes. The quality of the buffet is very good and the price is relatively cheap compared with other buffets of the same quality. You can try the buffet at any room you are so even a lot of people go you will neve find it crowded. At night they have a room to drink and dance, the music goes since peruvian music to 90's. The specialty to drink at these nights is their Res: a 750 mlt botlle of Pisco, a Ginger Ale and some ingredients to prepare your Chilcano (peruvian coctel) by your self. This room at night is full and is the perfect place to get very drunked with our pisco. I just remember a party there, the next day a horrible headache and vomiting the all day. That's because the famous pisco Queirolo is not one of the finest.

Puro Peru

In my opinion, Puro Peru is the best peruvian buffet you can taste. I've gone to many buffets and this wins the gold medal. The place is simple and comfortable, the desserts are wonderful, the food is impeccably presented and the flavor IS peruvian cuisine. The attention is fast (not like other buffets you have to wait to order something to drink) and I forgot the place is enormous so hardly you will find it full. I saw in their webpage they offer a traditional show but when I went (on weekends) they didn't. They only attend for lunch until 4:30 pm. Don't be late! I hpe you enjoy this place as much as me, it is one of my favorite's. However, staying at Lima I don't recommend you to go again and again and again to the same place because there's a huge offer of A1 restaurants you can visit, and new ones born everyday in Peru.

Blue Moon - Restaurant & Bar

This is he BEST, FABOLOUS AND ROMANTIC place I've ever been. If you read this post looking for recommendations you're going to thank me your entire life. The place is just amazing, so italian, so warming, so passionate, so hidden and the food is ....It's like a chapter of the last dinner. If you go with your fiance I swear your evening finishes in sex (at least in my case if I had a boyfriend). Blue Moon offers a fantastic buffet (I'm no joking when I say It looks like the last dinner) that you'd like to have a boundless stomach. And if you want to take a drink or date with somebody this is the point. There's a huge collection of wine, whisky, cognac and other elegant liquors. The backgound music is Chamber o Classical and the waitresses boss is a middle-age man who called me "signorina". I'm going to show you photo but I'm sure they're nothing compared with being in the spot. I forgot a comment I think this restobar (restaurant & bar) is not very known, I just knew about it because I was walking over there. It's memorable!.

Junius

The last friday I went to the Doubletree El Pardo hotel in Miraflores for a company event and it reminded me a point I haven't talked yet and this is Junius a restaurant inside the hotel which is very known for their buffet and peruvian folk dance shows. Yeap you can watch traditional dances of the whole Peru while you're eating, sounds nice right? It's even nice for me being native. The buffet is ok, I mean I know better buffets (larger and more delicious) but including the show (only for dinner time) and the centrally situated of the spot Junius is all right. I've seen many foreign people there.
