    Capuccino

    Recently relocated into a beautiful dining room with modern decor, Capuccino serves upscale salads, fresh seafood, sandwiches and desserts that work great for both light lunches or full dinners with a bottle of wine. Try the elegant and simple appetizer of grilled squid with olive oil. For caffeine freaks, Capuccino is the only place in town serving real-deal espressos and coffee drinks.

  2. Grill A Bordo

    The ships-ahoy theme, complete with waiters dressed as sailors, may be unnecessary as this parrillada (grill house) serves only one fish dish – but there are plenty of scrumptiously grilled meats on offer. Located a few blocks back from the beach, it’s a cozy little place that also houses a small ceramics gallery.

    Carburmer

    This cozy and romantic place is the best Italian restaurant in town. Dripping with moodily lit ambience (check out the wacky pulley system that opens the door), this is the ideal place for that special night out. It has an excellently executed menu where Italian dishes vie for your attention with Peruvian specialties.

  4. Angela’s Place

    Angela the Austrian bread wizard started selling her delicious sweet potato, yuca and wheat breads from her bicycle years ago. Now you can get them at her cheery cafe on the main drag, along with creative and substantial vegetarian (and vegan!) dishes, energizing breakfast combos and sweet pastries.

    Café Bar Museo

    This locals’ favorite shouldn’t be a secret. The tall, wood-paneled walls covered in artsy posters and classic marble-top bar feels like a cross between an English pub and a Left Bank cafe. A big drinks and dessert menu make this a great place to sit with friends and share something sweet.

  6. Matteos

    With two central locations, Matteos serves as an antidote to the hills of parrillada found all over Peru. The all-veggie menu has lots of I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-meat versions of local dishes, salads and heaped plates of fruit and yogurt. The second branch is at Tacna 532.

  7. Club Colonial

    On the plaza, this Belgian-run place is in a striking, candle-lit colonial mansion and serves up finely prepared Peruvian and French dishes. It also doubles as a gallery for quality local artists and is the best place in town for a romantic rendezvous. Hours can be erratic.

    Oviedo

    If you’re sick of the tiny plate of eggs your hotel is throwing at you in the morning, check out Oviedo’s long list of breakfasts – from a simple Continental to a hearty criollo (spicy Peruvian fare with Spanish and African influences) that comes with a steak.

  9. E

    Chifa Heng Lung

    Owned by a Chinese family that has been cooking Cantonese food in Trujillo for more than a decade, Heng Lung is slightly upscale, with big booths and tablecloths. The menu is a predictable list of southern Chinese dishes, but very long on options and flavors.

    Ganimedes

    No goat-head soups here, but plenty of refreshing fruit juices, yummy yogurts, wholegrain biscuits and lots and lots of salads. Ganimedes doubles as a whole-grain bakery, making it a great place to stock your picnic basket or to try their signature focaccia.

    Don Parce

    Serving a long list of Peruvian standards as well as daily specials, Don Parce is an inviting lunch and dinner spot in a convenient location off the Plaza de Armas. The best deal is a three-course lunch menú, always with a hearty, meaty main dish.

  13. Mamma Mía

    Come here for delicious concoct-your-own pizzas prepared with the freshest ingredients. The pastas are also great, but for a real treat you should check to see if the Peruvian owner, Fernando, is making any of his famous secret-recipe crab lasagna. Yum.

    El Sol Restaurante Vegetariano

    Recently moved to a new location, ‘The Sun’ maintains a short but surprising list of meat-imitating dishes and always has a daily lunch menú for about S3. Plenty of nonvegetarians eat here, attesting to its hearty and delicious offerings.

    reviewed

  15. Restaurante Mococho

    This tiny place sits secluded in a walled garden where patrons wait to see what amazing seafood concoctions the skilled don Victor will serve up that day. It’s not cheap, but ceviche and seafood does not get any better than this.

    reviewed

  16. Heladería el Chalán

    This fast-food joint has multiple outlets whipping up burgers and sandwiches, but our money’s on the excellent selection of juices and the dozens of flavors of cool, cool ice cream. There are also branches at Grau 173 and 453.

  17. Sunset

    With a short menu of excellent Italian food, this is the most gourmet restaurant in town when the Italian chef is on, but disappointing when he isn’t. It’s in the hotel of the same name.

  18. I

    Snack Bar Romano

    With an excellent menú, this local favorite has been around as long as its middle-aged waiters. It gets the double thumbs-up for ceviches and local specialties.

    Se Salió el Mar

    The warm-hearted owner here whips up fresh-from-the-sea grills and ceviche in a tiny family-owned shop with plastic tablecloths. It’s a gem.

    Las Tradiciones

    With wicker chairs spread throughout a gently crumbling colonial building, this is a decent place to sample cheap local fare.

  21. Restaurant Big Ben

    At the far north end of Huanchaco, Big Ben specializes in lunchtime ceviches and has a reputation for top-notch seafood.

    Leave room for dessert after your meal and visit here – it’s a great cake shop.
