Manolo
Manolo is an old fashioned Lima caféteria (coffee shop) and churreria in the heart of Miraflores. It’s an institution, founded in 1968 and is a comforting favorite of families of all ages. You see grandparents who may have met there, and new families bringing their kids. There’s a huge menu of sandwiches, pastas, seafood, and desserts
The portions are big, the crema volteada (“turned over” cream, like a flan) nearly covered the plate. The meals are family sized because this is a family place. While there are tourists here, there are plenty of ordinary people enjoying an old favorite as well.
But really there’s one big reason to come to Manolo: the churros. You have two varieties, filled (relleno) or unfilled, and three flavours of filled, chocolate, vanilla, or dulce de leche. Six plain churros or one filled churro for 6 soles. Less than 2 US dollars.
