Condé Nast Traveler notes that Lima is acclaimed as the best gastronomic city in South America and that here you can find everything from colorful markets to innovative tasting menus.
“Ceviches (raw fish marinated in lime juice and spices) often steal the show. There is also the lomo saltado (sirloin steak sautéed with fried potatoes and a meat stew), and you can't miss the pisco sour, Lima's national cocktail. The Peruvian capital, with its indigenous, African and Asian influences, is a meeting point for incredible ingredients, "said the international magazine specializing in luxury tourism.
