We all want to wear their cool garments and have a wardrobe exploding in their eclectic collections. They are always a la mode, sleek and ready to treat the streets like an effortless runway. Nim is made for fashionable ladies who love to dress out of their comfort zone and have fun styling bubbly skirts with plaid corsets and micro shorts with velvet blazers. 

This 2024 opening is inspired by spells and infusions, prepared by witch doctors, as per the translation of its name, Curanderas. A basement watering hole located under Parque El Olivar, the centuries-old olive groves in San Isidro, whose roots are visible through the windows, lift your spirits with a cocktail drawing from the four elements of earth, wind, fire and water.  An all-female staff led by Carolina García helms Curanderas: order the The Chalice, whose white vermouth and sherry base is backed up by coconut milk, passionfruit and activated carbon. 

Pasta is a hip restaurant in the heart of San Isidro, one of Lima’s main food hubs. Simple but divine, they specialize in providing high-quality Italian dishes using their fresh homemade pasta, made by hand in their open kitchen. Pasta's menu offers numerous classics like their Pici Cacio e Pepe and Carbonara while experimenting with innovative dishes like a 48-hour Ragù Bolognese and their phenomenal Fungi Porcini Agnolotti. 

Rossa Pizza Appassionata is the pizza place tied to the Italian block in San Isidro, which was started by its neighbours: Pasta and Troppo. Rossa Pizza welcomes you with open arms to its relaxed ambience. The candles and smell of dough will ease you into multiple sangria glasses. Have fun and order as much as you can from their creative rotation of pizzas for the centre of the table. There is a pizza for those who don’t even like pizza. Perfect for a date before the movies, meeting your nonna for weekday dinner or gossiping with your lifetime friends before heading to karaoke.
