El Punto Azul

Lima


Awash in Caribbean blues, this pleasant family eatery dishes up fresh ceviches, tiraditos (Japanese-style ceviche, without onions) and family-sized rice dishes. Try its risotto with parmesan, shrimp and ají amarillo (yellow chili) – and don’t miss the lineup of beautiful desserts. It gets packed, so show up before 1pm if you want a table. Excellent value.
