Scena

Posted by Nicholas Gill Jul 29, 2006

Places like Scena are exactly why Lima is one of the top dining and nightlife destinations in the America's. It's a trendy yet elegant place in Miraflores (Paula Camino 280, 445-9688) that combines a small, always changing show such a cabaret singers or acrobatics (done in the center of the restaurant on ropes and swings) with food and drinks. The menu is quite diverse ranging from classic Peruvian dishes such as Lomo Saltado to international ones such as Sashimi and Risotto de Conchas Negras. The cocktail menu is comprehensive, as is the wine list, so many stay for several after dinner drinks to soak in the atmosphere. The best part of all is the price. For 4 people that had a bottle of wine, 2 cocktails each, 2 appetizers, and 4 entrees the price was under $100. Try New York and LA for the exact same fare and you would be looking at least four times that. Go to www.scena.com.pe for more info.
