 Varied corn by SirRichard
You will find boiled corn in kernels sold by street vendors (they call it "choclo"), sweet, soft and cheap: 1sol (about 30 cents)
Many dishes are made out of corn, specially the delicious corn soups, and you will find a lot of popcorn (huge variety here also) in streets and markets. Leave a Comment Theme: Grocery Store/MarketPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensive

 Coca leaf tea by SirRichard
People in Peru chew coca leaf against altitude illness, as a way to fight tiredom... and you can buy it legally in markets and stores. You can find teas in cafeterias, or people chewing it by the streets... even candies made out of coca! Leave a Comment

One of my favorite evenings in Peru was dinner at La Retama. This candlelight restaurant overlooking the Plaza de Armas is a special spot. The food is wonderful, but it's the nightly dance and music show that makes this place really stand out. I got pulled out of the audience and with embarrasment, had to attempt my version of a Peruvian dance! Highly recommended spot!

La Hamaca, Lima (tel. 01/445-4042): A mansion stuffed to the rafters with priceless Peruvian art and antiques, and a maze of spectacularly decorated small dining rooms is a cinematic experience. Imagine you're the dueño of a sprawling hacienda while you dine on classic Peruvian preparations. Retire upstairs for an elegant evening of dancing on weekends.
Las Brujas de Cachiche, Lima (tel. 01/447-1883): Celebrating 2,000 years of local culture and pre-Columbian Peruvian cuisine with ancient recipes and ingredients, this sophisticated place is a favorite of local businesspeople and diplomats. It serves classic Peruvian dishes, such as ají de gallina (chile cream chicken), with innovative twists. For a treat, check out the daily lunch buffet and frequent gastronomic festivals.
Restaurant Huaca Pucllana, Lima (tel. 01/242-7978): One of the best places for dining in the capital has the most unique location: within the compound of a 1,500-year-old adobe pyramid. The restaurant is both hip and relaxed, with a covered terrace looking out over the low pyramid and illuminated excavation walkways. The creative Peruvian menu offers new twists on classic comida criolla (creole cooking). Leave a Comment

Greens, Cusco (tel. 084/243-820): A small and stylish restaurant in the cool San Blas district, Greens has a creative menu and funky decor, including low, comfy sofas and hipster tunes. The excellent, surprising menus of international and Peruvian dishes are reasonably priced.
Killa Wasi, Huicho (tel. 084/201-620): Now that La Casa de la Abuela is open only part-time, my next favorite spot in the valley is the restaurant of Hotel Sol y Luna, the best hotel in the Sacred Valley. The restaurant is elegant but relaxed, and the menu is full of creative criollo and nouveau Andean dishes. The pub upstairs is a good spot for a pisco sour late in the day.
Indio Feliz, Aguas Calientes (tel. 084/211-090): The town at the bottom of Machu Picchu is a little scrappy, so this Peruvian-French restaurant really stands out. In an attractive and very popular two-level dining room, it offers a great-value three-course menu. If by chance you just completed the 4-day Inca Trail trek, treat yourself to a meal here.
Sol de Mayo, Arequipa (tel. 054/254-148): This is the best place in town for traditional Arequipeño cooking, which has quite a reputation in Peru. The setting, around a courtyard garden where strolling musicians play, is delightful. It's a perfect place to sink your teeth into local Peruvian specialties and is a great place to splurge.
Zig Zag, Arequipa (tel. 054/206-020): This cute, chic, and inviting restaurant has a unique specialty: stone-grilled ostrich. Healthier than other meats, ostrich is really good, as is another popular dish served here: alpaca (which is also healthier than red meat). In this two-level space with sillar walls and vaulted ceilings, the grilled meat is not the only thing that makes this a memorable dining experience. Leave a Comment

Manos Morenas, Lima (tel. 01/467-0421): The best place for dinner and a show in Lima, this sleek Barranco restaurant serves good criollo cooking and features peña and Afro-Peruvian music and dance nightly. It's housed in an elegant early 1900s house, very appealingly converted. The show's not inexpensive, but it's usually a great evening out.
Restaurante Illary, Cusco (tel. 084/243-820): Cusco's top fine-dining option is within the exclusive confines of the best hotel in town. Even if the hotel is out of reach, the restaurant makes the perfect splurge date in Cusco. Whether you sit in the glassed-in corridor overlooking the colonial patio or the main dining room that very much looks the part of 16th-century monastery, dining here is a true treat. The Peruvian specialties, like the discreet service, are impeccable.
Inka Grill, Cusco (tel. 084/262-992): A popular place on the Plaza de Armas, Inka Grill serves Andean cooking with a fresh twist in relaxed surroundings -- perfect for Cusco. Try something spicy and new, or an international standby, such as pizza, pasta, and risotto.
MAP Café, Cusco (tel. 084/242-476): Cusco's newest and most chic restaurant is tucked into the colonial patio of the city's great new pre-Columbian art museum. It quietly makes a dramatic statement with its understated, minimalist design: a glass and steel box. The food, nouveau Andean, is every bit as elegant and cleanly presented. With a super wine list and the opportunity to stroll through the museum after dinner, it's a perfect, sophisticated date restaurant. Leave a Comment
