El 550 in Miraflores

Since I spend a lot of time in the Miraflores section of Lima, I’ve had the chance to explore many of the little cafes and restaurants in the area. One I tried recently that deserves some special credit is El 550. There are two locations, and the newer Miraflores restaurant is located at Avenida 2 de Mayo 385. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful menu, which has entertaining names for creative dishes. Some of the most interesting creations include Lasagna filled with Aji de Gallina and Canneloni filled with Seco Norteno. The chocolate dome dessert served with a cinnamon flavored ice cream and sugar coated almonds is unbelievable, and the perfect way to end a meal. I will definitely be back to this restaurant.
