The most popular Peruvian restaurants around the world

The exquisite flavour of Peruvian cuisine has met with international success. In 2015, Peru was named “world’s leading culinary destination” at the World Travel Awards, one of the most recent of the many distinctions it has received over the years.

Peru’s culinary heritage has given it a wide range of unique flavours and ingredients, which have allowed its fame and reputation to spread beyond its borders to position itself in other countries. The flavour of Peruvian food gained its vitality during colonial times through the fusion of the culinary traditions of immigrants from Spain, China, Japan, Italy, Africa and indigenous Peru.

These include Peruvian-Oriental fusion dishes, such as maki and chifa, Italian-Peruvian food such as mondonguito a la italiana (Italian-style tripe), tagliatelle with pesto, among other delicious combinations.
