La Máquina -Culture and Pleasure

The slogan of La Máquina is Culture and Pleasure and it is in some way you can feel the art when you enter, the enviroment is awsome , very excentric and unusual, for example the last time I went they had T-shirts hunged up under the roof and we could smell marijane on the air. The restroom is only one for men/women. They also have a room called "La habitación del rescate (the rescue room)" where periodically an artist show his work, some day it is a photo gallery, another is a room installation and so on. The food and the drinks are also unusual, you can drink hot wine or piscolatte or coffee with pisco and these beverages are difficult to find at any café as well as their appetizers. It's easy to get because the café is ubicated in the heart of Miraflores at the back of the Banco de Crédito which is very known. The mayority of its public is young people and turists any age. La Máquina is one of my favorite cafés, hope you like it too.

Eco Truly Park

Sometimes after office I used to go to a vegetarian restaurant called "La Revolución de la Cuchara" because of their delicious pies based on soja and the mystic atmosphere of the place (upstair there was a Krishna temple and people with indian make up), after eating I used to went upstairs to see their ceremonies (and to sing, but shhh..). The point is that I realized they have a beautiful place in Huaral (province of Lima) that I decided to visit. Certainly I must to dissapoint you because is not like the photo, but it's no ugly either. With more care and not insect flying near the food it could be better. Sometimes foreigners think Lima is only the Central Square and Museums but STOP thinking like that!!! There's a universe about less than 2 hours of the town. For example, Huaral that not only has the Eco Truly Park, but a beautifull and clean beach and historical places to visit. Yes, I would return to see the whole view.

Pd.- You must be thinking why I've talking in past tense at the beginning, is because after a while "La Revolución de la Cuchara" changed its adress then is not in my way home.

This is the photo that made me go:

La Folie Café

I knew about La Folie in facebook. The desserts looked pretty much delicious, the architecture looked trendy so I proposed myself to go there someday. The day came and I my eyes couln't believe what the saw, it was amazing!!! There are around 3 enviroments: one with a fake waterfull, one more elegant with comfortable sofas and another one very colorfull . The desserts look still better. The service is A1, I don't have to screem to be heard because the waiters are kind in caring consciously about the clients and there is also an electronic device in every single table that allows to order, cancel or call the waiter. Another thing I love about La Folie is that they organize events to cheer customers, for example "magic nights" (a magician walks by every table offering a magic trick), "board games", etc. They also change the decoration every now and then or according to famous events like Halloween or the World Cup.

In conclusion, by me it's hardly recommended. Wanna see photos?

The Café is located in Avenida Primavera 1070 Chacarilla, Surco
