What are you in the mood for eat?

I remember this question from my childhood and cannot remember ever having as many options as now in Lima. Lima is a new city for food with a mixture of flavors, cusine and unique environments: resulting in an exotic, innovative and diverse variety of resturants. However, the classic optins remain, unforgettable and with a traditional flare. Places from our memories anchored from their walls.
I'm making a list of my favorites along with recommendations from my friends as a way to remember and ensure I do not miss any of the new experiences and flavors from Lima's revitalized resturant scene. Let me know if I miss any places that you know that I should try. I will update after first trying them out.
