One
of the few restaurants to have investigated Peruvian
pre-Columbian cultures, Las Brujas de Cachiche is named
after a small village in the Ica region (south of Lima),
allegedly home to many witches and sorcerers (bruja
is Spanish for witch).
The
extensive menu includes all the traditional dishes,
some of which are even prepared following the ancient
recipes. Great the lomo saltado del Gran Brujo (beef
steak and potatoes stir fried with onions, chilli pepper,
and soy sauce), anticuchos de corazón (grilled
beef heart brochettes), and the tasteful tacu-tacu (seasoned
beans and rice).
Las
Brujas de Cachiche occupies an old mansion overlooking
a park, and its décor is dedicated to the theme
of traditional healing and magic. It also comprises
the bar
Huaringas.
