Casona Deza

Trujillo


Expect excellent espresso, house-made desserts and tasty pizzas and pasta, often sourced organically, at this spacious, atmospheric cafe that occupies one of the city’s most fiercely preserved colonial homes.

The Casa Ganoza Chopitea mansion (c 1735) was resurrected via auction by a local team of brothers passionate about Trujillo. Whether you’re here for coffee, wine, sustenance or architectural oohing and aahing, it’s an addictive spot.
