RT here. Finally, I've found a good restaurant in Lima! OK, there's about about a million of them, but I have found another one.
Puerto Norte is in Lima Centro, just a block and a half from the Av. Espana Metro station. The restaurant is big, clean, and easy to find.
The restaurant is a "Northern" style cebicheria. As far as I can tell, Northen style is pretty much what I have gotten used to in Lima, with just a tweak here and there, and more duck. All in all, I approve wholeheartedly.
For my opening dish, I had the Cebiche Puerto Marino. It was a mixed seafood cebiche with a side of leche de pantera (conchas negras). Delicious. My second dish was a Tacu Tacu (don't remember which one), a rice & bean patty covered with a fish filet, and smothered in a scallop-laden sauce. Shockingly... delicious, too.
I washed the whole thing down with a agua con gas and a pitcher of frozen lemonade. I paid the tab (70 soles, including tip), and headed straight to Lions Spa to try to sweat myself down enough so that I could close my pants.
Puerto Norte has been added to my repeat list; everything was excellent. They were a little costlier than some similar restaurants, but not enough to make a big difference. There were a lot of duck dishes passing by my table, and they all looked good. I really like duck, so my thoughts on good-looking duck dishes may be somewhat suspect.
I don't know what I did with where I wrote down their business hours, but I do remember that they open way early for lunch (9:00 am, I think).
