Peru is world-famous for its food. The coast of Peru sits directly on the Pacific Ocean, with the Humboldt current just a few miles offshore. 20% of the world seafood comes from the Humboldt current.It is no wonder that Peru offers first-class seafood dishes like the mouthwatering ceviche. The food costs here also are beyond reasonable, you can sit down and have a nice lunch for three dollars and that includes everything appetizer entrée and a drink. And this isn't fast food either,this is made to order fish chicken or meat will with your choice of vegetable and a salad this also includes dessert.
I have lived here for a little over three years and in the city of Lima alone every week I am finding new and interesting places to go. In Peru you have different types of cuisine depending on what part of the country you where you are in.
The city of Lima is like a melting pot for the entire country, you can find food from the Andes Mountains food from the jungle and food from the small towns throughout Peru, all located in one city.
It's amazing to me the quality of the food here and the amount of restaurants that serve them.
Some of them are all decked out like some of the finer restaurants you'd see in New York city, but at fraction of the cost, a typical dinner for two at one of these high-end restaurants will run you anywhere from $30-$40 and that is the high end. How much you think that would cost in New York?
And the service is impeccable it's like the restaurants were 40 years ago, when you need something just raise your hand you got it. Peruvians are also very proud of their food, it's funny almost anytime I get a taxi, the taxi driver asks me where I am from and how long I've been in Peru. And inevitably the taxi driver will bring up the conversation of food, have you tried this restaurant, or have you tried that food, it's really fun to see how excited Peruvians are about their food.
There are many areas in the city to choose from, everything from Miraflores which is along the ocean to Barranco with its many steakhouses, so Lima downtown with its old world restaurants and bars.
One thing is for certain if you come to Peru and try the food you'll never forget it.
