Panchita - Miraflores

I lived in Lima for a year, and visit often for work trips — and the best part by far, is the food. Peruvians are obsessed with food in a passionate, compulsive, borderline clinical way. It is the base of their culture, their favorite pastime and topic of conversation. I am a SEAFOOD lover & eat almost no meat —- so this list is heavily seafood skewed, but when in Lima, I think that’s a great bias. Lima is a great place to stop for a few days before heading to see the rest of the country. It is worth splurging to eat well. Keywords: South America, Peru, Seafood, Lima, Restaurants, Foodie
