Very good country hamHistory served with mustard and a side of bureaucracy. Bar Cordano isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a national relic that’s been plating Peruvian staples since 1905, right next to the Presidential Palace.The walls ooze history (and maybe a little humidity), having hosted everyone from presidents to poets to probably spies disguised as sandwich enthusiasts. Its jamón del país sandwich? Salty, glorious, and aged like the furniture. The pisco sour? Depends on who’s shaking it, either a spiritual experience or a suspicious lemon foam event.This place has been standing for over 119 years, covers about 280 square meters, and was declared a Cultural Heritage Site in 1989. It’s run by the workers since 1978, so yes, your server might also be the co-owner which may explain the service speed: historic.Cordano is not for the rushed or the refined. It’s for travelers who want to chew through history and maybe get mildly ghosted by the waitstaff. Still, the ambiance? 10/10. Time-travel never tasted this porky. Come for the nostalgia, stay because your food took 45 minutes to arrive. Classic. Cranky. Cordano.Today, 6/7)25 we went to have breakfast with dad and sister. The lady was very kind to us, it was very tasty, hot and the place was beautiful..✨🥰Good seasoning and varietyDelicious. The arroz con mariscos was stupendous with a risotto style. I enjoyed the classic pisco sour and the lomo saltado too. I hope I will return soon for a bit more.Lima is a beautiful city, it has everything, culture, food, its people, its city and beautiful places to visit and walk and get to know a little more.Spectacular. Creole, popular, and traditional. The service is excellent, and the food is hearty and delicious. I would happily return!Delicious sandwiches. The bread with pork rinds is delicious.
