La Panaderia del Country

It sits at Ca. Los Eucaliptos 574, in the heart of El Golf, inside the Country Club Lima Hotel but with its own entrance and hours: a display case, a dining room and open-air tables facing the club. The menu is bakery and café fare — breads, sandwiches, cakes and a tea list reviewers mention often — and among the popular items Google flags the chocolate bread and the iced coffee. Our read: it is a hotel bakery that behaves like a neighbourhood café, and that is the appeal — the setting is five-star while the bill is a bakery's, which is why it fills with neighbours rather than only guests. It opens 7:00 to 23:00 Monday to Saturday and until 21:00 on Sundays, allows dogs and has its own parking, three things rarely found together in San Isidro. Curation note: the house publishes no website of its own (only Facebook), so the phone number and hours come from the Google listing.
