<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Peruvian food culture cannot be understated. Not only do they have some of the worlds top restaurant’s<\/a> but even the fruits and vegetable’s in the grocery stores are better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurants in Peru all take great pride in the meals they serve. Food is fresh, not from frozen, presented with care and pride. I was constantly amazed with the Ceviche, Tiradito, Pollo … everything I tried. Even the basic Peruvian rotisserie pollo & papas fritas was amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a number of things for the first time, anticuchos corazon, goat, black sea urchin, Octopus, Alpaca, Cuy, Aguaymanto, L\u00facuma, Chirimoya, Granadilla, Aguaje … all fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some favourites are Ceviche & Tiradito, Palta Rellena, Lomo Saltado, Causa, Rocoto Relleno … well everything I had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the two episodes Anthony Bourdain did in Peru. Parts Unknown<\/a> & No Reservations<\/a>. My tourist <\/em>guide in Peru quoted it a lot trying to seem smart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the restaurant’s I was able to try. I did not have a single bad meal. Listed in no particular order, and this is not a full list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
