During my two trips to the Southern Hemisphere, I had a roughly four hour layover at Lima Airport (LIM). I’ve already reviewed the Sumaq VIP Lounge, which is the international contract lounge used by most airlines at the airport (though it’s not open to Priority Pass members).

Great insight on PP restaurants, I'm sure this is something that people including myself are curious about. Nice value add.
I’d wager the second place prices its drinks for the PP crowd and sees almost no non-PP Peruvian customers.
Menu prices in USD? Is tipping required like in the US, or truly optional like in the rest of the world?
Well yeah, Negronis are pure alcohol. Equal parts gin, Campari, sweet vermouth.
I enjoy going to the Bleriot 'bar' and get a drink, then tell the bartender he can swipe me for 3 guests total and he can buy himself whatever he wants. They have food snacks, and we all enjoyed a good time on PP's dime
Funny… we can always know americans by waiting to be seated by a host. Not the way it is in most of the world, especially for these types of “convenience restaurants”.
I agree, the Bonbonniere is a nice restaurant with decent food and drinks.
But Ben, being in Lima, how on earth could you miss out on the two Peruvian signature cocktails, the Pisco Sour or the Chilcano? I’m not a big cocktail drinker, but they are really part of the Peruvian culture.
It's quite common in Peru to quote USD. And unlike US that is 'forced' optional, most of the world would add a certain "mandatory" percentage to the bill for gratuity if deemed necessary. Any higher that the quoted is truly optional.
But by no means tipping is required in the US. It never was. The greedy system makes them under pay their employee and guilt you into providing them livable wage.
Capital One Venture X issued me a Priority pass card but its only for lounges not restaurants next time I go to Lima I will try to see it it works
