Lima! Is a good place to visit if you like food

[vinouspleasure]

i am in engaged in the (very slow) process of writing our trip up here:

peru eats (lima, Ollantaytambo, cusco, Aguas Calientes)

We’re back in the USA after a month in South America. In general, the food didn’t move me the same way the food in Italy did last year. I also had some health issues along the way, which made it hard to focus on writing up restaurant reports. But health is good now, so I thought it would be worth providing a somewhat desultory summary of our meals. I’ll do everything in reverse order, as the most recent meals are freshest in my mind.

I managed to wander my way into an area in which I felt uncomfortable. My sense is from talking to a friend that lived there is that milaflores and barranco are fine but we still took the precaution of not wearing jewelry and stepping away from the street while checking our phones for directions. At one point, we had a 15 min walk at night after dinner and we decided to take an uber, which I understand, a lot of locals tend to do.

best,
