Fodor's Expert Review Lazos and Zingaro

Rubbing walls with each other, these two restaurants are part of the same franchise and are a good choice for a fine parrilla (Lazos) or fusion Peruvian-European dishes and wines (Zingaro). Lazos is one of Arequipa's best steak houses, so meat is what you come for—and there is plenty of it, including delicious cuts of beef, alpaca, and sausage; Zingaro, on the other hand, adds a local twist to international plates like pastas and has an extensive fish menu. The beautiful, narrow, arched dining rooms with white sillar walls makes you question whether you should be paying more for the environment.

The wine list is quite global, though you'll find better values if you stick with Argentina and Chile.
