Meanwhile, Lima ranked ahead of Jakarta (Indonesia), Kyoto (Japan), Gaziantep (Turkiye), Ferrara (Italy), and New Orleans (United States).
TasteAtlas noted that locals are particularly fond of
Ceviche,
"the national dish of Peru consisting of slices of raw fish or shellfish that is spiced with salt, onions, and chili peppers, then marinated in lime juice."
TasteAtlas added
Aji de Gallina and the essential
Butifarra to the list of typical Lima dishes. The latter
"is the essential Peruvian sandwich that originally consisted of a crusty white bread (pan frances, michetta or ciabbata) filled with jamon del pais (garlic-infused peppery ham), salsa criolla, lettuce, and aji peppers."
Lastly, the guide invites diners seeking traditional Lima food to visit restaurants such as La Mar Cebicheria, Isolina Taberna Peruana, El Bodegon de Miraflores, Astrid y Gaston, among others.
