 In the second, but the cuisine of Peru is the quintessence of cultural fusion. Since the first mix of Inca and Spanish traditions, local chefs are expertly integrated flavors and technieken from the many immigrants who landed in the ports tque Peruvian, Italian and French. However, the strongest influences from Europe but from Africa, China and Japan.

 Even if the restaurant in the city of Lima is more diverse and covers a wide range of kitchens, d Cevichees raw fish marinated in lemon juice and pepper, is clearly the number one in the list of dishes you must try. There are at least a Ceviches ํ in each district, so no one will be difficult to find. Our suggéréimento Capital is big fish, a lunch-only Cevicheria Mira Flores.

 A second is the result of the Asian restaurants in Lima, both Chinese and Japanese, who have a strong Peruvian influence. Restaurants mentoois Known as chifa be counted by hundreds. Usually low earth neighborhood restaurant with a cuisine rich in fish and chicken. Japanese restaurants and sushi bars, the other hand, are less extensive, and the most luxurious and expensive. Her strength is the year to the diverse and piu verse fish, a delicious sushi, sashimi, rolls y. Our favorites are Wa Lok Chinese Matsuei (where Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, chef, cook and owner of NobuAryan, Long-term skills) for the Japanese.

 A final word Creole restaurants in Lima. Your kitchen is a vivid demonstration of the rich and tasty cultural melting experienced by the Peruvian cuisine through the ages.
