Lima (Peru) - 2019 - The Food Enthusiast’s Complete Restaurant Guide
()
About this ebook
There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.
But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.
This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.
“Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.
For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.
Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.
Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.
Bon Appétit!

lima1There are many things that you will find confusing in not only Lima, but the whole country of Peru as well, starting with its twisted and convoluted history, its fascinating if sometimes unappreciated ethnic mix of its population, all the way down to its mad drivers who create one of the worst traffic nightmares in any country I’ve visited. When you cross the street, do it with 3 or 4 others at the same time—maybe the crazy motorists will veer away from you.
There are thousands of taxis and busses filling the streets, and you will find some of the most dangerous traffic in the world right here in Lima. The buses come in many sizes: large ones, medium ones, small ones. Some of them are so packed you wonder how the occupants breathe.
Situated as it is on the Pacific coast, Lima rests on a massive cliff that rises 10 or 12 stories above the beach. It is quite dramatic.
Panoramic-view-of-Miraflores-LimaThere are hundreds of people hauling around backpacks and they all seem to be going to Cuzco and Machu Picchu. While I have always wanted to make the trek up into the mountains to see Machu Picchu, by the time I first got to
