Lima: Cafe Haiti (August 2005)


While there are many cafés in Lima, perhaps none is as emblematic as the Cafe Haiti, which first opened its doors in 1962. Overlooking the main park in Miraflores, the Cafe Haiti has welcomed politicians, writers, artists, tourists, and local residents who have been flocking there for almost half a century in search of quality coffee and good food and drinks served in a welcoming atmosphere. The Cafe Haiti might not be the cheapest place in town, nor the most trendy or fashionable cafe, yet there is something familiar and inviting about the place. The service is always impeccable. The location is superb. Simply put, the Cafe Haiti is the grande dame of Lima cafes.
