TYPICAL DISHES AND BEVERAGES
Since Lima is so close to the sea, the main Limeño dishes
are naturally based on fish and seafood. Among these, the famous
cebiche, escabeche, conchitas a la parmesana and shrimp cocktail
stand out.
Other well-known Limeño dishes are cau-cau, anticuchos,
ají de gallina. There are also several typical desserts,
such as the mazamorra morada, picarones, suspiro a la limeña,
arroz con leche, turrón de Doña Pepa.
Among the refreshing drinks, chicha morada is recommended, and
as appetizers, the international pisco sour, with Peruvian pisco
and lemons, and sugar.
