Pancho Fierro Café Bar — Jr. de la Unión

Pancho Fierro Café Bar's branch at Jr. de la Unión 1066, on the stretch of the street near Plaza San Martín. The brand, which bills itself as "a place with history" and has several branches in Lima, mixes café, lunches, cakes and cocktails; its Instagram features pisco sour, chilcano and mains such as noodles with beef. Our take: it is a downtown all-rounder, handy for a mid-morning coffee or a late drink rather than a destination kitchen. According to Google it opens from 09:00 every day and closes at 00:00 Monday to Thursday, 02:00 on Friday and Saturday, and 22:00 on Sundays; it takes cards and parking is paid street parking.
