La
Tiendecita Blanca (The Little White Store) is a traditional,
old-style café-restaurant with a reputation for
excellence that stretches over half a century.
The
international cuisine offers such mouth-watering dishes
as liver sauté with onions and smashed potatoes,
lamb ribs with risotto, or the timeless pepper steak.
The forte of the house, however, are the Swiss specialities,
undoubtedly the best in town: meat or cheese fondue,
veal emincé, and potato rosti (Bern-style fried
potatoes).
Located
in the heart of Miraflores, one-block away from Kennedy
Park, it is frequented by a quiet, mature clientele
of both tourists and locals (among which many Italian,
Swiss, and German immigrants). The décor is stylish
and elegant, featuring leather furniture, enamel doors
and photographs that depict Lima during the 50s and
60s.
Their
superb pastries and cakes have surely contributed into
making La Tiendecita Blanca a classic for business breakfasts.
A great wine list and the friendly staff complete the
enticing picture.
