Peruvian cuisine is getting more international attention every year. Restaurants around the world now serve Peruvian dishes like ají de gallina, lomo saltado, ceviche, fusion chaufa and even traditional cuy (guinea pig).

It’s always best to eat a specialty in its home country, so check out these restaurants for traditional, fusion and modern Peruvian cuisine.

Most of these are restaurants that I love and that I go back to over and over. If for some reason I haven’t personally eaten there, I’ve noted that on the review.
