Panchita: For the adventorous set, there's traditional Peruvian food, including anticuchos — that's cow's heart in a stick seen above. Though most Peruvians eat the skewers, followed by a dessert called picarones, from street carts, Gastón once again comes to the rescue by offering that and much more at this restaurant.
La Lucha: Peruvians take sanguches (that's not a mispelling) pretty seriously! With options like chicharrón with fried sweet potatoes and butifarra (a version of ham) with salsa criolla (red onions and tomatoes), you might want to eat a sanguche a day.
Sarcletti: You can't leave Peru without trying lúcuma ice cream. Sure, you can find store-bought versions, but nothing beats the real thing made with fruit at this ice-cream spot that's packed during lonche (tea) time.
