From tradition to bold fusion. From fiery spice to delicate sweetness<\/strong>. From grandmother\u2019s time-honoured recipes to the innovations born in bustling markets<\/strong>, on lively street corners and in world-renowned restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how diverse, how surprising, how exquisite \u2014 and even how colourful \u2014 the food of Lima truly is<\/strong>. This is Peruvian cuisine at its finest: a feast waiting for you in a land of tempting aromas<\/strong> and flavours your palate will never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lima:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taste and savour the timeless classics<\/strong> as well as the bold culinary creations born from the daring imagination of cooks and chefs. Step closer to the world of street food<\/a>, with its colourful and hearty dishes \u2014 and then allow yourself to be won over by the artistic finesse of gourmet cuisine<\/strong>. Explore the markets, the food carts, the hidden huariques<\/a> \u2014 and why not? \u2014 even the restaurants that proudly rank among the best in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something for every taste and every budget<\/strong>. From the exuberant seven colours of the markets<\/a> \u2014 a generous medley of different dishes served on a single plate \u2014 to refined tasting menus in five-star dining rooms<\/strong>. From simple breakfasts of bread rolls filled with torreja<\/em><\/strong>, avocado or fried egg, sold on street corners, to generous Creole and international buffets<\/strong> served in elegant surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you simply have to taste your way here and there<\/strong> to fully appreciate all the culinary delights of Lima, a city that truly lives by the idea that variety is the spice of life<\/a>. The old saying that \u201cthere\u2019s no accounting for taste\u201d doesn\u2019t quite apply here. Rivers of ink have been devoted to celebrating the experience of trying ceviche,<\/strong> anticuchos<\/em><\/a>, causa lime\u00f1a<\/em>, picarones<\/em><\/a> and suspiro a la lime\u00f1a<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But wait. I\u2019m not about to reel off a list of menus you might find in my city. My aim is different: I want to take you \u201csailing\u201d through Lima\u2019s seafood cuisine<\/strong>, one of its greatest strengths thanks to its privileged coastal setting. So let me whet your appetite<\/strong> with a selection of soups, starters and main courses you should keep in mind when visiting one of the capital\u2019s many cevicher\u00edas<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cback-to-life\u201d soups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Straight from the waters of the Pacific, the finest Peruvian seafood<\/strong> arrives at your table, thanks to the dedication of artisanal fishermen from the coastal coves of northern and southern Peru. That is the secret \u2014 the very essence \u2014 of the flavour behind Lima\u2019s much-loved seafood cuisine<\/strong>, enjoyed with enthusiasm in every district of Lima, a city where fish and shellfish<\/strong> are truly revered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If during your holiday in the \u201cThree Times Crowned City\u201d you urgently need to revive your body<\/strong> and restore your energy \u2014 perhaps after a long walk or a lively bohemian night<\/strong> out in Barranco<\/a> \u2014 I recommend two powerful, hearty and steaming levantamuertos (literally, \u201craise-the-dead<\/a>\u201d soups). They are so restorative that from the very first spoonful you\u2019ll feel as though even your soul has been strengthened<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chilcano is a simple yet deeply nourishing broth<\/strong>. In some cevicher\u00edas<\/em> \u2014 the generic name for seafood restaurants \u2014 it is served as a courtesy<\/strong>, a little \u201ctreat\u201d from the chef. This concentrated stock, made from fish heads, backbones and flesh<\/strong>, is seasoned with ginger (ki\u00f3n), garlic, coriander, celery, onion and salt to taste. It is said to have originated in the district of Chilca<\/strong>, in the province of Ca\u00f1ete<\/a>, within the Lima region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Its high phosphorus and calcium content<\/strong> make chilcano not only comforting, but genuinely nourishing. A similarly reviving effect comes from another soup once prepared by fishermen in the port of Callao<\/a>, to sustain them through their long and demanding days at sea<\/strong>. They would light their fires using the wooden frames of parihuelas \u2014 the platforms on which they carried what they had \u201charvested\u201d in their nets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name lives on in the broth that is now one of the shining stars of seafood menus<\/strong>: the mighty parihuela<\/em><\/a>. This generous soup brings together a representative sample of the ocean\u2019s biodiversity<\/strong> \u2014 fish, crab, mussels, scallops, sea snails, prawns, squid and octopus, among other treasures. The recipe is enriched with white wine, chicha de jora<\/a>, aj\u00ed panca and aj\u00ed amarillo. What more could you possibly ask for<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiery ceviches and splendid causas<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a generous chilcanazo or a mighty parihuel\u00f3n, it\u2019s time to dive into the fresh and fiery world of ceviche<\/strong>. Peru\u2019s national dish \u2014 with its very own National Ceviche Day, celebrated every 28 June since 2004 \u2014 has roots that stretch back to pre-Hispanic times<\/strong>. It is believed that the northern Moche<\/a> were the first to marinate pieces of fish in the juice of tumbo<\/strong>, a fruit whose flavour is similar to passion fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Inca period, chicha de jora was used, but the \u201cromance\u201d \u2014 that magical pairing of lime and fish<\/strong> \u2014 only blossomed with the arrival of the Spanish. Classic ceviche is beautifully simple<\/strong>. Alongside fresh fish and lime juice, it includes salt, pepper, aj\u00ed limo and sliced red onion. Sweet potato, toasted cancha, corn and crispy chifle are the loyal and delicious companions of this culinary jewel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the creativity of Peru\u2019s cooks, the national dish has evolved into many tempting variations. You can choose the traditional ceviche<\/strong>; the mixto (with fish and assorted seafood); the carretillero (served with crispy fried giant squid<\/a>); or the ceviche de conchas negras<\/a><\/em>, especially popular in northern Peru. And if you\u2019re not used to spicy food, don\u2019t worry \u2014 there are gentler versions that won\u2019t set your palate alight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to try another starter, you can\u2019t go wrong with a causa filled with tuna, crab meat or prawns<\/strong>. In this emblematic dish of Lima, boiled potatoes are mashed into a smooth dough<\/strong> and seasoned with salt, lime juice and aj\u00ed amarillo<\/a><\/em>. A compact layer is shaped as the base, the chosen filling is added, and then it is neatly sealed with another layer of potato on top.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slice of hard-boiled egg and a generous \u201cdrizzle\u201d of mayonnaise \u2014 often accompanied by olives and avocado \u2014 usually crown this delight. It\u2019s a dish that beautifully brings together the flavours of Peru\u2019s extraordinarily rich sea<\/strong> \u2014 one of the most bountiful in the world thanks to its vast marine resources \u2014 with those of the Andean potato, domesticated more than 7,000 years ago<\/strong> in the highlands and widely regarded as Peru\u2019s greatest contribution to global cuisine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Lima, committing the deadly sin of gluttony<\/strong> is almost inevitable \u2014 so don\u2019t feel guilty if, after your soup and starter, you\u2019re tempted to order a main course<\/strong> as well. In that case, arroz con mariscos<\/em>, jalea mixta<\/em> or chicharr\u00f3n de pescado<\/em><\/strong> are hard to resist. There are other options, of course, but these are the favourites \u2014 the ones most loved by locals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first hardly needs much introduction. Picture a neat mound \u2014 or little hill \u2014 of fluffy rice<\/a>, sometimes creamy like a risotto (depending on the chef), generously mixed with assorted seafood, strips of red pepper, diced carrot, sweetcorn kernels and peas, all cooked in a fragrant base of garlic, onion, aj\u00ed panca<\/em> and aj\u00ed amarillo<\/em><\/strong>. Fish stock and white wine are added to deepen and enhance the flavour.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jalea mixta<\/em><\/a> and chicharr\u00f3n de pescado are quite similar. The key difference lies in the addition of assorted seafood and crispy fried yuyos \u2014 a type of Pacific seaweed<\/strong> \u2014 in the former, which is also served with tartar sauce. In both dishes, the crunchy pieces of fish (and seafood) are accompanied by sarza criolla<\/em><\/strong> (a fresh onion relish), boiled cassava, chilli cream, toasted cancha and crispy chifles. I know \u2014 choosing just one isn\u2019t easy, so why not sample a little of each?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s precisely why many cevicher\u00edas in Lima offer mixed platters<\/strong>. These generous combinations bring together three or more dishes<\/strong>, so you can sample a bit of everything. The popular rondas typically include ceviche, arroz con mariscos (or seafood chaufa rice) and jalea mixta (or chicharr\u00f3n de pescado). Other tempting versions may add tiradito<\/em>, causa rellena<\/em> or pulpo al olivo<\/em> to the feast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019re wondering which drinks best accompany such a banquet<\/strong>, may I suggest a Pisco Sour<\/a>, a Chilcano, a well-chilled beer or a refreshing leche de tigre<\/a><\/em>. If you\u2019d rather skip the alcohol, chicha morada<\/a><\/em> is always an excellent choice. And if you\u2019re fond of fizzy drinks, nothing beats an Inca Kola \u2014 a beverage that is practically a national symbol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The table is set. All that\u2019s left for me to say is: enjoy your meal<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
