Is there a local nice restaurant worth going to for about 3 hours?
Also, on the Southbound flight I am on the 11:05 PM JFK / LIM / SCL flight.
What food/beverage service is on this flight -- or do they do a breakfast upon leaving LIM for SCL.
Thanks
I just recalled a very good option called EL GRIFO. It used to be a fuel station, where the manager's daughters used to sell good empanadas and other dishes. They did so well that they close the station, studied for chef, and now it's a very good restaurant. It's 5km from the airport, still in Callao not Lima. Shouldn't be more than 20 minutes. Oscar R. Benavides 2703 (aka Colonial avenue). Though I just learned they opened another restaurant even more closer to the airport. Av. Elmer Faucett 2121
The issue would be they open 8am -5pm, not sure if that fits with your time windows but just in case here's the info.

There are several alternatives at La Punta Callao (the peninsula near the port). But though it's closer than going to Miraflores, Lima, the traffice is still an issue.
