  • 2. Fory Fay Cevicheria

    $

    Ask any arequipeño to name their favorite fish joint, and Fory Fay tops the list.

Personable owner Alex Aller grew up in the coastal port of Mollendo and travels there often to check on the catch. Fishing bric-a-brac and photos of New York, where Aller once lived, line the walls.

  • 6. La Lucila

    $ | Sachaca

    Rivaling La Nueva Palomino for Arequipa's favorite picantería, La Lucila has been in operation for more than 70 years. Although its beloved namesake owner passed away in 2012, her recipes—iconic regional dishes that have been passed down through generations—live on, as does the simple, rustic atmosphere. Come here for classic rocoto relleno, cuy chactado, or chupe de camarones (spicy shrimp chowder). It's outside of town, and though you'll spend about S/10–S/15 on a taxi, the prices here make up for it. Daytime only.
