EATING
LIKE A LOCAL
Gastronomy
4 hours AM Daily
Sometimes the best culinary discoveries are outside the
extravagant gourmet restaurant realm. Sometimes one is not
satiated with a single bite and goes out in search for more.
Sometimes there are diners who look not only for great food,
but also a memorable and unique experience.
Our huariques tour takes guests on a journey through Peru’s
gastronomy from a different angle. As you make your way
through the city on a bike in this four-hour tour, you will be
taken to a series of delightful spots to eat like a local. Each
restaurant has its own particular low-key – yet inviting – feel
unique to the cook who runs it.
Open your appetite with a ride across the Pacific Ocean-front
esplanade that takes you from the Miraflores to the Barranco
neighbourhood. In light of the coastal setting, our first stop is
at Barra Mar for a sampling of seafood dishes, including our
popular traditional ceviche. Upon finishing, get back on your
bike and head out in search of more local spots offering an
assortment of mouth-watering dishes, like the causa rellena
from Juanito Restaurant, and the lomo saltado at Isolina.
When it comes time for dessert, you have the chance to
indulge in one of two options: artisanally made ice cream at
Bosco Magico, or traditional picarones – a fried dough made
of yam, squash, clove, and cinnamon, and covered with
honey – from Javier Restaurant. To quench your thirst, visit
the Barranco Beer Company and enjoy an artisanal beer. At
the end of the tour, make your way back to Miraflores with a
full belly and a happy heart.
