The Best Restaurant in Barranco, Lima

Background Illustration for Restaurants

In keeping with its bohemian reputation, Barranco has a slew of bars and cozy cafés, but its dining options tend to be traditional taverns for home cooking rather than chic foodie galleries. Most are just a short walk from the neighborhood's hotels.

What's not on the menu at this eclectic eatery is the standard Peruvian gastro-repertoire. Instead, chef Ricardo Martins fuses Asian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern accents to create dazzling, taste-bud-popping confections such as grilled pork tomahawk steak in harissa butter or razor clams in Chinese-style yuxiang sauce. Even humble ingredients such as anchovies and red peppers take on new meaning in the hands of this culinary wizard. The vintage cocktails are also inspired, meshing perfectly with the wood-paneled ambience of the restaurant's 19th-century digs. Look sharp: this place shows every sign of becoming a foodie pilgrimage point.
