1. Vía La Encantada
$ | |With food that is as modern as the stylish interior, this is the best spot in town to try Peruvian-fusion cuisine. The pollo a lo oporto (chicken in a port wine sauce) is a standout, as is the cocktail list, including the tricolor Machu Picchu pisco cocktail. For a good view, head upstairs for a spot on the balcony overlooking the street.

2. 3 Keros by the Sea
$$$ | |This seafood restaurant in Paracas's Peruvian Yacht Club sets the standard for dining in Paracas. Chef Ricardo Behar makes a point of talking to his guests and tailoring his cooking to individual preferences. Specialties include sushi in balsamic vinegar, sea bass carpaccio, and sudado de lenguado (stewed sole). The peaceful setting is a welcome respite from the hubbub farther up the seawalk.

3. As de Oros
$$ | |This 40-year-old Pisco institution hosts pool parties and dancing on weekends, but it's the seafood specialties like whole fried chita (rockfish) and sudado de choros (shellfish stew) that keep the crowds coming. Roast goat, grilled meats, and sopa seca (noodles in basil sauce) round out the extensive menu. On any given afternoon, the place is packed with jovial Peruvian families celebrating together.

4. El Cordón y La Rosa
$ | |This bright little spot bills itself as a criollazo, a total onslaught of Peruvian coastal cooking. With its big portions and broad menu, it definitely lives up to that claim. The pescado a lo macho (fish in creamy seafood sauce) is delicious and filling, but really, you can't go wrong here, whatever you order.

5. El Otro Peñoncito
$ | |Don't be surprised if chef Hary Hernandez (aka "Sir Hary") comes over to chat during your meal at this half-century-old Ica institution: his passion for food and hospitality is legendary. Among the dishes he might offer are pollo a la iqueña (chicken in pecan-and-pisco sauce) or fried trout. The recipes, he says, go back to his grandmother, and judging by the satisfied bellies of the customers, his abuela would be proud. Note: the restaurant has no written menu, so ask about prices before ordering.

$ | |This pleasant garden café beside Hostería Suiza has a vegetarian-friendly vibe, with lots of quinoa and salads on offer.

7. La Kasa Rustika
$ | |All the classics of Peruvian cooking are on offer at this well-loved local hangout. The corvina a lo macho (sea bass in shellfish sauce) and the pepper steak are both scrumptious. You'll also find an array of shell-on shrimp specialties and pastas, as well as excellent meats from the grill.

8. La Viña de Huber
$$ | |Locals recommend this restaurant on the outskirts of town as the best around; judging from the lunchtime crowds, they can't be too far wrong. The three brothers who run the kitchen cook up modern regional Peruvian cuisine such as sole fillets rolled with bacon and served with passion-fruit dipping sauce or fish stuffed with spinach and sautéed in a pisco-and-pecan broth. Portions are enormous, so order a few dishes to share.
Prolongación Cerro Azul 601, Pisco, Ica, Peru056-536–456Known For

- Northern specialties
- Spicy grilled pork

9. Oasis de América
$ | |In a resort where mediocre tourist fare is the norm, this Peruvian eatery stands out. Here, after a long day on the dunes, you can replenish your system with a host of seafood options, as well as chicharrones (fried chicken or fish) and a few local specialties like carapulcra con sopa seca. Prices are a bit high, but worth it.

10. Pukasoncco Arte y Restaurante
$$ | |This funky-cozy eatery is a smash-up between an art studio and a kitchen; owner Sansón Velásquez is equally adept with paintbrush and whisk. He'll whip up any dish that suits your fancy, from Ica-style beef stew to river-shrimp soup, discoursing all the while on the abstract and indigenous elements in his colorful canvases. The cooking is fresh and delicious, and you may find yourself taking one of the paintings home.
