Cuisine Highlights
A brand new Glossary
of Peruvian Cuisine, including terms, ingredients
and dishes. Now you'll know what we talk about when
we talk about huacatay, ají mirasol, chifa
or conchas negras.
Though the origins of Peruvian
Cuisine can be traced back to Pre-Inca
cultures, one of its most significant contributions
is quite recent and owed to... the Nikkei (the Japanese
immigrants and their descendants)!
La
Mar, the cevicheria created by Gastón
Acurio (Peru's top chef), is probably the hottest lunch-spot
in Lima during this summer.
Looking for traditional Peruvian Criollo
fare? For sure José
Antonio or Las
Brujas de Cachiche will meet all your expectatives.
Peruvian, French,
and Italian cross-over cuisine for MAP
Café, set within the colonial patio
of Cusco's Pre-Columbian Art Museum.
Our favourite Japanese this year: Edo
Sushibar, fabolous sushi with a Peruvian
touch (or two)!
Summer in Lima (mid December - mid
March) isn't complete without the fantastic three: ceviche,
causa,
and tiradito.
