Restaurante Puerto Norte, sede España

Puerto Norte is at Av. España 224 in central Lima, near Plaza Bolognesi. On Instagram it describes itself as a dream that rescues northern Peruvian food, and Google flags the ceviche Puerto Norte and the seco a la mancoreña as popular; reviews keep mentioning the arroz con pato, the seafood trios and the long menu. Our take: it is a big-room northern restaurant built for the family or group that wants a long lunch with parking sorted, which is rare downtown. It opens every day from 11:30, until 23:00 Monday to Saturday and until 19:00 on Sundays; Google lists live music, a kids' menu, high chairs and free on-site parking, and reservations are taken by phone. Curator's note: the puertonorte.pe domain no longer resolves; contact details and hours come from its Instagram and its Google listing.
