Casa Pacha is one of the favorites for local and tourists who want to enjoy a good breakfast or lunch. Their lunch menu for about $4 includes an appetizer, main dish and a drink. They also offer vegetarian menu. I’ve eaten there many times and it is conveniently located within a few steps from the apartment. You might need to wait a bit during lunch hour rush. You can also get takeouts. Enjoy!

If you are curious to try a Chinese-peruvian fusion dish, this is a nice restaurant to go to for lunch or dinner. The food is delicious. We just celebrated my mom’s birthday here and we could not get over how delicious and tasty the food was. It is served family style but they also offer executive menu for a solo diner. Check their hours as they close between lunch and dinner.

Sightseeing
Most iconic places in Miraflores you should visit during your stay.
Newly discovered pyramids and ruins within the city, although it has existed before the Inca empire. You must reserve your visit ahead of time (sorry, I can’t leave a link as Airbnb does not allow it). The tickets are about $4-5 to visit the ruins. It is within 5 or 6 blocks from the apartment. Or you can take a taxi for $3. Wear comfortable shoes as you will do a lot of walking, and bring a hat if you are visiting during the summer.
They also have a 5***** restaurant on site but be prepared to spend $$. My son had a dish prepared with alpaca that was delicious They also offer seafood, Andean food and all our gastronomy has to offer, while you enjoy the view of the ruins and an ocasional alpaca or Andean hairless dog roaming nearby in the ruins. Great experience!

The best way to sightsee Lima and surroundings if you don't have a lot of time. Hop on, hop off locations in Miraflores. Day and night tours. They offer sightseeing of downtown Lima and the presidential palace as well as a trip to the Port of el Callao, Parque de la Reserva to watch the water lights show in the evening and many more short trips. I have used them a lot to sightseeing areas in Lima.
