El Piombino

It sits at Av. Guardia Civil 696, San Isidro, and is one of the brand's three branches, along with San Miguel and Surco. The menu on its website runs from the Desayuno Piombino (beef in its juices with French bread, papaya juice and coffee) and the Club Sandwich to lomo saltado, a crunchy salad and chantilly pionono; cappuccino and milanesa are what shows up most in diners' photos. Our take: it is the classic neighborhood café, the kind that works equally for a long family breakfast, an office lunch or a laptop meeting, rather than a fine-pastry destination. It opens daily from 8:00 to 22:00 according to its website, has a terrace, a kids' menu and free parking according to Google, and takes reservations. Curator's note: Google shows a 21:00 closing on Sundays; we loaded the hours from the official website.
