- The cuisine in Peru is among the best you will find anywhere in the world. From Ceviche, to Lomo Saltado, to Papa Rellenos the food is varied and delicious, with so many unique flavors.
On a recent trip to Lima, I sought out some of the most traditional dishes and tried everything from Cuy (Guinea Pig) to Anticuchos (Beef Heart). It was a culinary adventure that you have to see.
Watch this to get ideas of the plates that you'll want to find when you visit Peru.

Having retired in 2023, I now travel full-time, seeing places all around the world. My idea for RUclips is to make the videos more about the places and people along the way, than about me. I hope that the experience for you is both entertaining and educational. Perhaps you will come away from my channel with ideas about places you would like to visit or be inspired to forge your own way.
I travel slowly, spending four or five weeks in each destination. Hopefully, that will allow me to go beyond the surface to find the essence of each location. By the end of 2024, I will have visited 14 countries and five of the seven continents. Come along for the journey!
I still dream about that Peruvian chicken....
So do I, Geoff! As best I remember, that sauce on the first dish tasted just about like what we had in NYC!
I hope things are good with you!
I still dream of Peruvian pum pum
THE PERUVIAN FOOD IS DELICIOUS😋
IS THE BEST
I cannot disagree!
I loved Peruvian Food, it is delicious!!! Visited Peru last year and we tried everything from Ceviches, Ají de Gallina, Cuy, Potatoes... Lovely country!!! Don´t leave Peru without going to Cuzco, it is a gorgeous city with many attractions (Vinicunca the 7 color mountain is highly recommended, Cuzco itself is gorgeous and of Course all the Inca Sites)
I agree with you about the food! Some of the best dishes that I have had anywhere!
If you are going to Vinicunca, then you may want to go by ATV. The parking area for the ATV's is very close to the view point and you don't have to do the long, long hike for regular tourists. An alternative is Montaña de Colores Palccoyo. It's also a "Rainbow Mountain," but it get about 10% of the visitors vs Vinicunca.
Amazing video and amazing food. Going to Peru next month and I am super excited. Thanks for sharing this.
It was my pleasure! The food is definitely something to be excited about.
You will have a fantastic time!
Congratulations for your good vibes to taste our flavors, in Lima you have a first sights perhaps the best cuisine in South America, only remember this advice Cheaper budget for the best foods,every corner you will have many places to enjoy it, Blessings and keep visiting my country
The food was an absolute delight! There was hardly anything that I tried that I did not enjoy. Even the stomach was tasty, just had a difficult time chewing it!
Thank you for the exceptional comments!
Ceviche expert! love it! can't wait for the Michelin stars!
I really enjoyed the food-centric video. Seeing all the unique dishes and hearing your thoughts on them was something very enjoyable for those of us that don't get the first hand experience. It looked tough to film, but you made it look easy. Nice work! More please.
Cool! So glad that you liked it.
The food tour was tough to shoot, because we were always on the move. Meals at the restaurants were difficult, because there are a limited number of angles for food shots and I am always trying not to bother other diners.
I am already working on my next food video. It will be about the tastes of Paraguay!
Peru is so beautiful!!!
I absolutely agree with you!
Great video! Have you tried the sandwiches from La Lucha? If you're staying in Miraflores, I recommend Rincon Chami. It's an unassuming restaurant specializing in authentic Peruvian food, popular among locals and featured in travel guides as well. The friendly waiters, who have been there for over 35 years, will warmly welcome you.
Additionally, you should try the Pastel de Choclo (Corn Casserole) at El Bodegón in Miraflores.
Where were you a month and a half ago! Those all sound like excellent suggestions! At this point though, I have moved on from Peru.
Seems like you had a great time in Lima, thank you for going and trying everything, loved it 🥰
Thank you! To be honest, it was a very appealing assignment to tackle!
Peruvian food is delicious. There are several dishes with different flavors. Peruvian food not only has Chinese influence, it also has French, Italian, Spanish, African, and Japanese.
Talking about the chicha morada, you boil the purple corn with quince, pineapple, cinnamon, clove, and after it is done boiling and then cool, you add the sugar and lime.
Chicha Morada is fantastic! I could drink it every day!
@oldaloneandfarfromhome it's good for high blood pressure. Even the doctor requested to give to my dad. Although, we use Splenda for sweetness.
Excelente para tener la presión arterial baja. @@oldaloneandfarfromhome
Well done, sir. I used to live in Miraflores (2006-7). You hit all of the go to dishes. One that I recommend that was not mentioned is Jalea Mixta. Fried - seafood with yucca! Hmm mmm. My favorites that you mentioned are aji de gallina, papa rellena, and of course lomo saltado. Thanks for sharing!
That Jalea Mixta sounds amazing! I wish I had been able to try it.
Just your mention of Aji de Gallina has my mouth watering!
Thank you for the great comment!
I love this man, i love your videos ❤❤❤❤❤ miami has great Peruvian restaurants, but nothing bette than the mother land
I really appreciate that! The food in Peru was absolutely fantastic!
Hello from Lima. When we ask for a ceviche , we have the option to say "bajo en ají" what means "just a little bit of chili" . I am peruvian and do not like aji in excess too, because it overwhelms others flavours, but some people do love it because it produces an special feeling in the body.
There were a couple of occasions, when I ordered ceviche, that they would ask if I wanted it spicy. I was always very appreciative of that!
Congrats great info enjoy yummy 👍 🎉👏 😊
That is so nice of you to say! There were many good food items that I tried!
Hi I hope you feel more at home by now….my preferred food joint in Embarcadero 41 in Surco, wash down a ceviche with a pisco sour is my Sunday ritual. Surco is ok, it’s the district with 1,000 parks, very walkable ….just follow the parks in your map towards Loma Amarilla ( yellow hill ) park where the municipality is located, this way you will know the east part of the city closer to the dusty hills.
That sounds like a great Sunday ritual! I know that I passed through Surco, but I didn't get the chance to spend much time there.
Love this look at the foods of Peru! Everything looks delicious. Looks like I need to try out a food tour sometime in the future, too. Awesome!
The food tour was very reasonably priced and I was amazed at the number of different items we got to try! I've tried to find a food tour here in Asunción, but have had no luck.
GO to PERÚ 😋
Your videos are wonderful. I love how you divided it and the different food it covers.
That is so nice of you to say!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
Thanks for sharing. I was going to ask what were good places to each. The anticuchos looked good (grilled beef heart). Did you get a chance to try buttifaras? Peru's sandwich? My mother made many of the foods you ate so I am looking forward to seeing how her food was different from Peru because she had to substitute some ingredients. Thanks again for these videos.
The anticuchos were wonderful! I didn't try the Buttifara sandwich. It sounds like it would be very good!
I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Amazing food I can’t stop thinking about lomo saltado ! So good I would trade my wife for one lomo saltado - JK
I hope she doesn't read your comments!
But yeah, lomo saltado can be that good!
Love Peruvian! Great food! Excellent you got around Lima’s neighborhoods… Peru’s also famous for Pollo a la Brasa, rotisserie chicken; Rocky’s, Micky’s, Norki’s and Pardos!! Keep working on your Spanish…
I was aware of the rotisserie chicken, but never took the opportunity to get some. I'll keep working on my Spanish, but I feel woefully inadequate in that arena.
Thank you for watching!
Great video !!
Thank you so much!
Nice one, a good summary of our food here very well-presented. Causa is normally mashed potatoes & avo &/or tuna, octopus inside is a new one.
Thank you! The octopus with the olive sauce is an absolute winner!
I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
good
I appreciate you watching!
Don´t forget to try the Cuy: Guinea Pig
I tried it! The taste was good, but not enough meat for me!
Muy excellente, que rico!
And even though you didn't mention it directly, I was happy to see Inca Kola still found a way into the video. Did you ever get to dry Camu Camu juice, as well?
I actually didn't try either Inca Kola or Camu Camu juice. I should have at least tried one of them.
Thank you for inspiring me to be more open to different drink options in the future!
@@oldaloneandfarfromhome Oh I think you were very adventurous with what you tried in your video! But these two were favourites of mine...thankfully Inca Kola can still be found in Latin American shops across North America (but it isn't cheap since it's imported from Peru, despite now being a Coca Cola product!)
I think the term "Peruvian Cousine" is an underestimation of the diversity you can find in Peru. Yes, Criole cousine is a big mix of influences, but then you have other groups of dishes from more specific mixes like Chifa or Nikkei, and even within Criole cousine there are differences in techniques and ingredientes between coast, andean and amazonic dishes, each one heavily influenced by their distinct culture and past.
I agree with you, but in a video, it's necessary to keep it rather simple and not go into a whole lot of detail. Otherwise, you risk losing a big portion of the audience. It's a balancing act.
Thank you for the great comment!
You ate good 👌
I certainly did! And it's all because of doing the video, as ordinarily I don't eat lunch!
Very good review of Lima’s delicious foods. Thank you For visiting my country. I sure miss the food. Only thing I would never eat is cuy. Love your sense of adventure and the willingness to try new foods. Peru 🇵🇪 I miss you.
That is very nice of you! I was pleased with the idea of checking out all of the different foods from Lima. The tour I took was a great adventure!
Real fun and informative video on local food sir, congrats. Let me suggest you a couple of winners (on the food department): "ocopa arequipeña" and "arroz con pato chiclayana". Those two are amongst my top 5 best peruvian dishes. Cheers.
I appreciate the kind comments!
Thanks for the suggestions for other dishes, as well! Invariably, when covering the foods of an area, I am going to miss some worthy plates!
Great tips!
Thank you! I am glad that you watched!
Love the vibrant colors of the food! Not sure about eating guinea pig--reminds me of our children's pets when they were young!
The visual appeal of the food is certainly strong. I probably would have hesitated at trying Cuy, if I had a Guinea Pig as a pet, when I was young.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to make a comment.
Before the arrival of spaniards with chickens and cows there were only 3 types of meat llama, alpaca and cuy and obviusly the ancient peruvian from the coast have sea food
How many days were U there? It would take me a month to eat all that food😂. Ann, Florida fan
I was there a month, but aside from the food tour, it took me about two weeks to hit all of the others spots. Normally, I don't eat lunch, but this forced me to do so, as the light was no good by the time I was ready for dinner!
La Comida Peruana es tan rica y variada en sus tres Regiones que te llevaría toda una vida conocerla y comerla toda
Is choclo please 🙏🏿
I was a fan of the choclo! Cancha for me was hit or miss.
Chica morada.. purple girl… Jajaj
Chica Morada is so good! I wish I had some right now.
@@oldaloneandfarfromhome haha, it’s actually Chicha.
I know, but I messed up that one time in the video and said Chica, instead!
Old dude gained 20 lbs in 1 day
Chica morarada not chica 🤦🏾♀️
I did make that mistake once when I was on camera. I think I got it correct all the other times!
Chicha is the correct word
