About this experience
This is an anthropological journey beyond the polished, Netflix-style image of Lima’s street food scene.
We offer a different perspective from the fine-dining world of renowned restaurants like Central and Maido.
We’ll explore noisy and crowdy streets, markets and hole-in-the-wall spots around Central Market and Chinatown in order to try amazing Peruvian delicacies. Every stop is carefully selected for quality, flavor, context and character by local experts.
Each experience may include more than one bite, dish or drink, because some Peruvian combinations simply belong together.
1. Choclo con Queso
2. Papa Rellena
3. Ceviche (Hole-in-the-Wall)
