Mercado San Ramón: what is it like and what is served on the renovated Calle de las Pizzas?

The recovered San Ramón passage from Miraflores, also recovered from several years of bad reputation, it begins to light up from 6 in the afternoon. It is impossible not to be amazed by the new face of the former Calle de las Pizzas, a face much more friendly, fresh and ‘instagrammable’ than the one we knew until a few months ago.

The passage is now more open, without the abrupt invasions that prevented a quiet walk on the boulevard, with beautiful terraces that invite you to sit quietly and order, as before, a pizza at La Glorietta, this Italian-Peruvian restaurant specialized in artisan pizzas, pastas and Creole food. The Choco Museo, the palace of Peruvian chocolate, also has a terrace to sit and drink a cup of chocolate or its organic cocoa-based desserts. In the new Calle de las Pizzas it is possible to have some Magnolia, Brote, Chlorophyll or Lamiáceas cocktails in the Orquídea bar, live the experience of having a bubble tea in Ten Ren or stay in the sports bar The Old Pub, a business located in this passage since 1997, among many others.

But when walking towards Bellavista street, the impressive and new Mercado San Ramón jumps out. This imposing corner contains a great variety of gastronomic offers that in a single visit will not be able to satiate. It will be necessary to return for the Tarapotina food of Patarashkita, enjoy new experiences with Indian food in Zaika or the amazing natural fruit ice creams frozen in liquid nitrogen from Cool and Cream. The options are so varied that you will have to choose between having chifa, anticuchos, makis, pastas or meats for lunch.
