Surrender to the delights of Arequipa's traditional “picanterías”, where the flavors are enhanced by the warmth of firewood and traditional recipes, such as stuffed pepper, a local icon. Other famous dishes include diced cheese and vegetable salad (“solterito de queso”), the chili pepper and peanut sauce known as “ocopa”, the Sunday marinated pork stew (“adobo”) and, of course, spicy pork, beef, lamb or duck dishes.
And the desserts are unforgettable! They include cheese ice cream, made with coconut, cinnamon, milk and spices; or fritters made from flour, eggs and milk, served with brown sugar syrup; and you should not miss Arequipa’s famous chocolates and toffees.
In this date with the White City’s traditional restaurants, you should also try corn beer and aromatic Najar anisette. Enjoy!
