Equal parts funky and friendly, this café offers light snacks, hot and cold beverages, free Wi-Fi, and a seemingly endless supply of newspapers and books in English. Warm up by the fireplace on a cold night, or sit on the outdoor terrace with your laptop and sip a fresh-pressed cup of tea.

To experience the Andean delicacies that huarasinos eat on special occasions, take a 10-minute taxi ride outside downtown to this excellent restaurante campestre (country restaurant beneath a trellised arbor). Here you'll find pachamanca (meats and vegetables cooked over coals in a pit), pork cooked in a cylindrical box, and yes, cuy, or guinea pig (it's actually scrumptious). The decor and service are hospitality personified, and the grilling is some of the most exquisite in the city.

This exquisite eatery is one of Peru's not-to-be-missed culinary experiences. In 1983, the Solis family began serving modern interpretations of comida norteña (northern Peruvian cuisine) out of their home. The business exploded, leading to a chain of top-shelf restaurants all over Peru. Here, under the aegis of renowned chef Hector Solis, you can try a sumptuous cabrito (kid goat) and arroz con pato (duck with rice), as well as dozens of other local specialties and a long list of trendy pisco-based cocktails.

Born in Chiclayo decades ago, the Fiesta group is widely considered the preeminent dining choice for those looking for modern interpretations of Peru's northern coastal cuisine such as arroz con pato (duck with rice) or suckling goat. This location, a sleek multilevel modern bistro in Vista Alegre, has become the city's top choice for fine dining. Try the creative dishes like grouper cebiche, served hot, and innovative cocktails, nearly all of which utilize pisco. This place is highly recommended.

With this intimate, five-table bistro, Peruvian cocina del autor comes to Huaraz. Young chef Junior Reymundo doesn't just provide exquisite takes on Peruvian classics: he tells stories. The first chapter might be a cebiche de mango, followed by washga gora, a soup of Andean vegetables. Or the narrative might start with an ají de gallina (nutty chicken stew) like none you've ever had before, with a denouement of exotic mountain fruits. The menu rotates, so you can enjoy this gifted cuisinier's culinary poems every day. It's simply exquisite.

Chef Juan Seminario rides his motorcycle to local markets every day to find the fish and produce that make this narrow restaurant the rival of many top eateries in Lima. This means Mediterranean and Asian elements find their way into dishes such as a Nikkei-style tiradito (sashimi-style fish with a spicy sauce) and house-made pastas.

Dining at this closed-door, reservations-only private house is like partaking of a sumptuous family meal in an Italian villa. There are no menus, no sign outside—instead, the owner, Sheyla, comes to your table; asks what you'd like to eat; and then heads to her kitchen to whip up fresh, organic dishes such as melon-and-prosciutto salad, wood-fired pizzas, and fusilli with mushroom ragù. She'll even send her private car to pick you up at your hotel, gratis.

Ask anyone in Piura the best place in town to go for typical dishes, and they'll tell you to come here. Two dining rooms—one air-conditioned, one not—with cracked white walls and waitresses in flowing peasant dresses form the backdrop for regional dishes like tamales verdes (green tamales) and seco de chavelo (fried green bananas and pork). Wash everything down with algarrobina, a pisco-based cocktail flavored with the syrup from the area's algarrobo trees.

There's a reason why this criollo eatery is consistently mobbed by hungry locals at lunchtime: its innovative cooking is some of the best in northern Peru. From shellfish and goat to duck and causas (stuffed mashed-potato-sandwiches), the menu just goes on and on. Locals swear by the meat-and-rice norteño staples, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a weak spot here. Come hungry.

Sandwiches are among the lesser-known glories of Peruvian cuisine, but if folks continue to throng this sunny patio café like they do now, it's only a matter of time before word gets out. Burgers here are among Peru's best, but even tastier is the sandwich de lechón al cilindro, made from pork slow-roasted inside a barrel. Added plus: the owners are northern hospitality incarnate.

This is the place in Cajamarca for decadent desserts and delicious coffee. Casanuez translates to "The Nutcracker," and Sugar Plum Fairies would approve of the extensive homemade pastries, tortes, and other tempting treats. There's also a small lunch and dinner menu with highland staples such as caldo verde (a cilantro-spiced potato soup) and grilled meats, but the desserts are their mainstay.

This beautiful café sits inside the Casa Ganoza Chopitea, which was constructed around 1735 and is one of the best-preserved colonial mansions in Trujillo. The interior has original woodwork and frescoes, and the exterior features a balcony and a unique polychrome facade featuring a male and a female lion (which is why it is sometimes referred to as Casona de los Leones). There's decent coffee, though the food is quite simple (sandwiches, pizza, pasta, empanadas). The atmosphere is really why you are here.
