Café Haití

Location:
Diagonal 150
Miraflores, Lima, Peru

Restaurant

By David Britton

The bamboo chairs and plastic cream-colored tables exude a pungent air of 1960s Havana. Along the sidewalk, you see a broad, maroon awning with golden rails and dozens of full tables that omit a hum of excited, amicable conversation. Discussion are on all sides: political corruption, literature, fútbol. Whether you’re sipping on a coffee or sampling one of their three most popular dishes-–ceviche, lomo saltado (marinated strips of steak over rice and potatoes) or sopa criolla (Creole soup)-–you'll appreciate the ambiance of this 45-year-old Miraflores relic.

I lived in Lima for a year. I now visit for two weeks every year to chill out. Haiti is a daily stop for a drink, dinner or even ice cream. Servings are plentiful, service is the old-fashioned, very courteous sort where no one rushes you, etc... They also accept dollars based on the daily exchange rate.

Decent Breakfast

Rating: 75%

I stopped off here for breakfast as it seemed to be one of the only places open. The service was really very good and the waiters were concerned to get it right. The food was great and the cost was probably fairly expensive for what I got - eggs with ham, toast, juice and coffee for 15 soles. Not bad, I would go back. The place has a good reputation with the locals who frequent it.
