How to Choose a Restaurant in Peru?

Tips and Precautions

Choosing a restaurant in Peru depends on several criteria: budget, type of cuisine, hygiene, and desired experience. In major cities like Lima, Cusco or Arequipa, you'll find an impressive variety of restaurants, from local markets to starred establishments.
