Limeño Recipes

Limeño cuisine represents the coastal capital's cosmopolitan food culture, where Creole, African, Chinese, Japanese, and Indigenous traditions converge. Ceviche limeño, with its leche de tigre marinade, is the city's crown jewel. Anticuchos (grilled beef heart skewers), causa limeña (layered potato terrine), and arroz con pollo are classics. Lima's restaurant scene, led by chefs like Gastón Acurio and Virgilio Martínez, has put Peruvian cuisine on the global fine dining map.
