RESTAURANTE CORDANO — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

History served with mustard and a side of bureaucracy. Bar Cordano isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a national relic that’s been plating Peruvian staples since 1905, right next to the Presidential Palace.

The walls ooze history (and maybe a little humidity), having hosted everyone from presidents to poets to probably spies disguised as sandwich enthusiasts. Its jamón del país sandwich? Salty, glorious, and aged like the furniture. The pisco sour? Depends on who’s shaking it, either a spiritual experience or a suspicious lemon foam event.

This place has been standing for over 119 years, covers about 280 square meters, and was declared a Cultural Heritage Site in 1989. It’s run by the workers since 1978, so yes, your server might also be the co-owner which may explain the service speed: historic.

Cordano is not for the rushed or the refined. It’s for travelers who want to chew through history and maybe get mildly ghosted by the waitstaff. Still, the ambiance? 10/10. Time-travel never tasted this porky. Come for the nostalgia, stay because your food took 45 minutes to arrive. Classic....

Déjame empezar con Wow!

Encontramos el restaurante Cordano caminando por el vecindario y pensamos en probarlo, ¡no nos decepcionó y siempre estamos felices de volver!

Una empresa familiar con más de 112 años de historia! Puedes sentirlo por dentro y puedes ver muchas imágenes que fueron testigos de la historia.

El restaurante tiene asientos dentro y fuera, así como en el bar, y en mi opinión, sirve los mejores Sanguches de Lima.

Prueba el Sanguche del Norte por S/15 o el Sanguche Chicharrón por S/18, ambos tienen un sabor increíble. Además de las cebollas en escabeche, recomendamos agregar un poco de mayonesa, sabe realmente increíble!

La carta ofrece bebidas frías y calientes, así como platos principales como Lomo Saltado (S/40), Pescado, Tacu Tacu etc.

Se están siguiendo los protocolos y no se le permite ingresar al restaurante sin un control de temperatura y desinfección de sus manos.

Siempre pasaremos por un sanguche y lo recomendaremos a nuestra familia y amigos!

Let me start with Wow!

We found the Restaurant Cordano by walking around the neighbourhood and thought to give it a try - we were not disappointed and are always happy to come back!

A family owned business with over 112 years of history! You can feel it inside and can see many pictures that witnessed the history.

The restaurant has seating inside and outside as well as in the bar, and serves in my opinion the best Sanguches in Lima.

Try the Sanguche del Norte for S/15 or the Sanguche Chicharrón for S/18, both taste incredible. Besides the pickled onions we recommend to add some mayonnaise, it tastes really amazing!

The menu offers hot and cold drinks, as well as main dishes like Lomo Saltado (S/40), Fish, Tacu Tacu etc.

The protocols are being followed and you are not allowed to enter the restaurant without a temperature check and desinfection of your hands.

We will always stop by for a sanguche and recommend it to our family...
