Isolina
Lima, Peru
The read// why locals go
Isolina serves Lima home cooking in Barranco — the stews, rice dishes and chicharrones that families actually make. Chef José del Castillo treats the domestic repertoire as worth the same attention as anything more elevated, cooking it in large, generous portions in a taberna setting rather than dressing it up. Mains land around 55 soles. The result is a restaurant Lima's food community argues is more important than the tasting menus, because it keeps alive cooking that was in danger of only ever existing at home. Come hungry — the portions are not a figure of speech.
