lima street food

Updated November 2021

Lima Street Food, which opened just over a year ago, is little sister to its older more elegant sibling Raíces, my favourite Peruvian/Nikkei restaurant in Sevilla. And like a younger sibling, Lima is a bit edgier, somewhat more light-hearted and fun. Both Lima and Raíces are run by chef Daniel Cárdenas, whom I’ve known since his first days here, close to a dozen years ago. My only “complaint” about his two fabulous spots are that they are in Nervión (far from my home in the centre), but in fact this also gives them a unique character, and they are definitely worth venturing out for.

Recently the little sister has grown and, after a summer renovation which included extending into an adjacent space, it has triple the seating as before. The kitchen has also been moved and is now the hub of the two dining areas. At the main entrance there is a small terrace that extends onto the sidewalk.

The menu at Lima Street food is a bit shorter than at the “mothership” and the focus is on a more casual dining experience. A must have is the classic corvina (sea bass) ceviche. So fresh and zingy and delicious. We also loved the croquetas (chicken with ají, yucca with cheese) and the causita with char-grilled octopus. Be sure to try a pisco sour (or one of the pisco cocktail variations). There is also a good selection of wines and both local and Peruvian beer.
