What to eat at Lime?

Alongside our English and Spanish speaking guide, take a walk and discover the city´s culinary secrets and the hustle and bustle of the markets. Discover displays filled with fruit, avocados and the city´s local vegetables.

Our free tour starts with a visit to one of the capital´s typical shopping areas where we will come across the finest products available in the city. Every day thousands of Peruvians flock to these street markets to taste and buy ingredients that will later be transformed into elaborate dishes. All around the market you will find the best bars and cafes in the city, places where you will discover the Colonial blend of this city which has led to the creation of such delicious dishes.

Peruvian food is born from several culinary origins: Spanish, African, Italian, French and even a hint of Chinese and Japanese. All of these influences have contributed to creating the most amazing and delicious desserts, drinks and dishes.

Have you heard of chifles? These are thin strips of plantains that bring out the crunchiest savoury and sweet flavour you will have ever tried. Other traditional dishes are Andean potatoes, fried green plantains, the well-known handmade turrones (nougats), honey of Chancaca, Chaufa rice, lomo saltado (a stir fry combining marinated strips of sirloin with onions, tomatoes, potatoes and other ingredients served with rice), the ají de gallina (spicy chicken stew) and millions of other flavours that we will get to know as we unravel what goes into making some of the city´s dishes.

Discover traditional cuisine, the viceroyalty era and millions of intriguing facts behind Lima´s gastronomy like the ceviche on our Lima Free Gastronomic Tour.
