Cesar Palma

A casual, laid back, informal atmosphere, with run of the mill seafood dishes. Caters to undiscriminating middle class locals.
Service alternated between efficient, lackadaisical and frantic.
I went in for lunch with no expectations and left with a few regrets.

A casual seafood place with decent food and better service.
This was not a pre planned visit, but a last minute resort to have lunch after visiting the nearby Amano museum.
I was not greeted with disdain for not having made a reservation ahead of time, or offered the worst table in the place, as was the case when I went to Amor de Mar where I never plan to even be nearby.
I ordered the causa with pejerreyes arrebosados which for S/45.00 was a deal: a large portion and well presented on a white dinner plate in a the shape of a subtle wave.
There was a layer of salsa acevichada in between the causa and the fried smelts which livened up the purees yellow potato. The pejerreyes were dusted in flour and then deep fried to perfection.
That and a glass of chicha hit the spot before heading back to finish my visit to the Amano museum, just 4 blocks away.
