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.

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.

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.

In a waterfront lined with identical-seeming seafood joints, this cebichería (cebiche restaurant) stands out for its ample menu, arroz con mariscos (seafood with rice), and attentive service. There's also breakfast while you wait for your boat out to the islands, and the views of the bay are unbeatable.

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.

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. Dishes on the eclectic menu are all made from scratch by the British owner, and range from Thai curries and falafel to pastas and crepes. There are even peanut-butter-and-banana milk shakes.

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.

After a hard morning's wine tasting, stop in this cheerful open-air restaurant in Bodega El Catador to soak up the pisco. Like an outdoor rural dining room, this pleasant spot specializes in local criollo dishes such as carapulcra con sopa seca, a stew of dried potatoes and spaghetti in basil sauce, washed down with one of El Catador's wines.

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.

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.

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.

In a town severely lacking dining options, this restaurant holds some promise. With plastic furniture and a concrete floor, it's not winning any style prizes, but the hearty Peruvian cooking hits the spot and with most meals going for around S/10 to S/15 it's by far the best deal on food in town. Owner Arturo has grand plans to turn it into a more upmarket eatery, so expect changes. There's a good selection of wines from the local bodegas, and prices are almost as cheap as buying direct from the winery.

It may not look like much, but this small restaurant next door to Hotel Alegría serves a variety of delicious Peruvian dishes. The cebiche is the best in town and has made this restaurant a favorite with locals and travelers. Friendly and attentive service round out the experience, although the music (which at the time we visited seemed to be Greatest Hits of the ‘90s played on Andean pan-flute) leaves something to be desired. Top off your meal with the best pisco sour in town for a truly Peruvian experience.

Spacious, light-filled, and with a minimalistic white and polished wood interior, this eatery in front of Plazuela Abelarolo Quiñorez would not look out of place in a much larger and more cosmopolitan city. The emphasis is on seafood, dished out from a standard regional menu of creations such as conchitas à la parmesana (baked mussels with Parmesan cheese). The dish to try is the cebiche asesino, or "killer cebiche," which packs a spicy punch.

High ceilings lend an openness to this popular café and bakery on the Plaza de Armas, and it's a perfect spot for people-watching. Everything from cappuccino to shrimp cocktail is available, and although it's not the cheapest venue in town, the range of delicious pastries and locally famous tejas (manjar blanco or chocolate-coated pecans) make it a top pick for anyone with a sweet tooth.

For a truly local experience, follow the crowds to this tiny restaurant, which dishes up tasty Peruvian meals in huge portions. The restaurant won't dazzle you with its design, but what it lacks in style it more than makes up for with home-style Peruvian cuisine just like your grandmother used to make (or your grandmother's Peruvian cousin). The set-lunch—a soup, a main course, and a drink—is a steal at only S/4.50 and you may need to fight to get a table. The menu changes daily but specialties include aji de gallina, chicken in creamy hollandaise sauce served with boiled rice and a sliced egg. There's no street sign; look for "Restaurant" painted over the door.
