Traditional Sweet Dishes
Picarones
Picarones are doughnut-like rings made from squash and sweet potato, fried until crisp and soaked in a spiced chancaca syrup, they were created in colonial Lima as an Afro-Peruvian twist on Spanish buñuelos.
Alfajores
Peruvian alfajores are delicate sandwich cookies filled with dulce de leche and often rolled in coconut or dusted with powdered sugar. Their recipe traces back to Moorish Spain and they became a beloved Andean treat.
Mazamorra Morada
Mazamorra morada is a purple corn pudding spiced with cinnamon, cloves and fruit, its brilliant color and deep flavor come from native purple corn used since pre-Columbian times.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Ceviche
Ceviche is raw fish cured in lime juice with sliced onions, ají and herbs, the citric 'cooking' transforms the fish without heat. Coastal Peruvians have enjoyed versions of ceviche for centuries, and Lima turned it into a culinary symbol.
Lomo Saltado
Lomo saltado is a sizzling stir-fry of beef, tomatoes, onions and French fries, a delicious fusion born from Chinese immigrants in 19th-century Peru that blends wok techniques with local ingredients.
Anticuchos
Anticuchos are skewers of marinated meat, traditionally beef heart, grilled over hot coals and served with spicy sauces. The dish mixes pre-Columbian Andean roots with colonial era influences from African and Spanish cooks.
Traditional Beverages
Pisco Sour
The Pisco Sour blends Peruvian pisco, lime juice, simple syrup and a frothy egg white, it was invented in Lima in the early 20th century and is celebrated as Peru's national cocktail.
Chicha Morada
Chicha morada is a sweet beverage made by boiling purple corn with pineapple rind, cinnamon and cloves, its vibrant purple color and fruity aroma come from native corn varieties used since pre-Inca times.
Inca Kola
Inca Kola is a bright yellow soda with a sweet, bubblegum-like flavor that became a Peruvian cultural icon. Many Lima families drink it with everything from ceviche to rotisserie chicken, and some Peruvians prefer it over imported colas.

Use the Metropolitano bus, buy the reusable card at any station and avoid peak hours, way faster and cheaper than taxis.
Loved the food in Lima, ceviche everywhere and empanadas, friendly people too. Bright afternoons, 3-4 days felt perfect.
Paragliding off the Miraflores cliffs gave insane views, but restaurants on the Malecon are overpriced compared to side streets.
Historic center is pretty but crowded and full of hawkers, I felt uneasy at night despite locals saying it's safer than it seems.
Skip restaurants on Plaza Mayor, walk two blocks for the same food at half the price. Ask for the menu del dia for lunch deals.
