Gastromy of Lima Peru

Lima caught me by surprise. I thought the city would be backwards like Cali is, but it's not. Its very modern and a pretty cool place to visit. My favorite part of the city was the ceviche restaurants. Unlike Cuzco, the food in Lima was AMAZING!!! I'm so glad I'm not allergic to anything (like Ricardo is) and I was able to enjoy all the gastromy Lima had to offer.

Only in Lima you can get ceviche served on the beach without the fear of it being rancid
This was the first ceviche I ate while in Lima, we are at Playa Punta Rocas
Chufle de Mariscos & Chris being charming

The BEST ceviche restaurant in all of Lima- we went there twice.
Grilled Baby Octopus- Deeeelicious!

Leche de Tigre (Tiger's Milk)- basically the remains of ceviche served in a glass for you to drink- also DEEElicious!

The best calamari I've ever had in my life! (and no, it wasn't fried)



Cerveza Zenda and peruvian beer nuts (roasted corn tidbits) goes well with the ceviche


Here we all are with Sonia, she is the owner of the world famous cevicheria "Sonia's". Ricardo really wanted to visit Sonia's since it was featured on Anthony Bordain's No Reservations tv show.

A tuna dish we had at Sonias-great!
Chris having the Chufle de mariscos at Sonia's
Pisco Sours

Chifa- Chinese food in Lima. Lima has a gigantic Chinatown, bigger than SanFran's! So, we had to try the chinese food. It was alright.
Small eggs as street food, I think they were quail eggs, they serve them with salt and picante salsa
