Restaurant Demarco
Although this small bistro specializes in Italian food and crispy crust pizzas – if you read Italian, so much the better for deciphering the extensive menu – they have mouth-watering chupe de camarones, a seafood stew of jumbo shrimp simmering in a buttery broth with hints of garlic, cumin and oregano. The desserts are excellent, from classic tiramisu to mile-high tres leches (a spongy cake made with evaporated milk).

El Uruguayo
Vegetarians might want to make a wide berth around this place. Located a S3 taxi ride south of town, little El Uruguayo serves up delicious barbecued meat to a nightly crowd of salivating in-the-know patrons. A massive sizzling plate of mixed meats (Argentinean steak, chicken, chorizo, beef heart, plus a few surprises), salad and fries – enough for two to three people – will set you back S30. Dig in.

Mar Picante
This large, bamboo-lined seafood palace specializes in some of Trujillo’s best and freshest ceviche (raw seafood marinated in lime juice) and is packed daily with hundreds of savvy locals. Try the heaped ceviche mixto, which has various kinds of fish and crustaceans (S10 to S12). The restaurant is a S3 taxi ride south of town.

Restaurant Romano
This place has been around since 1951, so you know these guys have been doing something right. Whipping up a decent espresso, as well as breakfast, snacks and meals all day, the Romano is one of the most popular eateries in town. Expect meaty and meatless sandwiches, desserts and a mainly Peruvian menu.

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.

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.

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.

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.

El Mochica
Industrially hygienic and scattered with bits of art to take the edge off, this place has a variety of midpriced steaks and seafood, as well as cheaper local dishes. There’s a snug salón de té (tea room) next door.

Asturias
Tidy and cozy, this café serves up a little bit of everything. There's a long menu of Peruvian and international plates and the smartly dressed elderly waiters will make sure you're well looked after.

Chifa Ah Chau
Chifa Ah Chau . This is a funky, faded but fun place with individual private curtained booths and genuine Chinese food. Portions are elephantine - order to share.

El Sol Restaurante Vegetariano
A limited menu attests to experience; the cooks have been here a long time and know what you want. A few nonvegetarian items occasionally sneak onto the menu.

Diet Light
This perennially busy place serves not-very-diet, but yummy nonetheless, ice cream (S2 to S5) and whopping servings of mixed fruit (S3) – with ice cream.
