Must-Try Foods & The Best Places to Try Them in Arequipa

Arequipa, like all of Peru, is FULL of great food with great variety. But let's cut to the chase and start with the best of the best!

Best Picanteria

A Picanteria is a traditional Arequipeño restaurant and if you're visiting the city, you'll definitely want to make your way to one of these restaurants.

There are hundreds spread throughout the city, and they each serve a variety of dishes, making it a bit difficult to decide where to go and what to get. Luckily, I have tried my fair share of plates and restaurants so that I can share my favorites with you. 

First, if you want to try many things and only have one visit, I'd recommend getting an "Americano". This is a huge plate that comes with a variety of different food options.

Now for WHERE you should go...
